Dear Kristina I am a student in archaeology here in
Denmark, I'am specialising in animal bones; In the
mesolithic in Denmark there were burial in which some
of the individuals was placed on wings of swan - I do
not know yet if this is the Cygnus olor, but it is in
the species list from the most of the mesolithic,
hunted form the coast and river sites. i will get back
to you when I found more exact info and literature -
even I know a person on a museum who is specialised in
birds.

Regards Jesper S. Østergaard
