That's a manbearpig
I'm super cereal!
Ye i mean super-duper cereally: who said it wasn't the carver's intention to make it so very unclear that a child's fantasy can turn it into whatever animal it wants. It's a multifunctional children's toy
Hasn't anyone on that excavation team ever played Valheim? This is clearly a boar.
It's a boar to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
+1 vote for boar 🐗
I'd like to imagine no one could guess what it was back then too and maybe bumming out the carver lol
Sven: Man, Olaf, that’s a great cow!
Olaf (blinking away tears): thanks. (sobbing quietly): it’s a bear.
Team Dog, especially with that tail.
the tail is what makes me say dog too.
otherwise boar or cow
I'm just gonna go with it's whatever the Pictish beast was so that it's a double mystery. Maybe it was carved by a someone captured in a raid or something
I'm team pig. Fight me!
Team Dog!!!!
Man's best friend, clearly
Can they clean it off a bit? It looks like one of the mud cookies my sister used to make when she was 3.
The story has a pic of it post-cleaning
It’s clearly a chicken
its a bear.
Clearly a miniature dhorsig
It's obviously a jellyfish with a cyst.
"And it was a baby ox!"
I polled the family, the all say it's a pig. End of discussion
It’s a bear, or a pig/boar.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.
