There is nothing remotely ordinary about the MBA burial from the Hvidegård farm on Zealand in Denmark.2 The burial, situated a short distance north of today’s Copenhagen, dates from the first part of MBA III, c. 1330–1200 BCE. It was excavated under the careful supervision of Christian Jürgensen Thomsen (1788–1865), no less, the celebrated founder of the Three Age System.3 The burial context divulges a strange mixture of inhumation and cremation practices.4 And if that was not enough, the well-preserved grave goods encompass a number of spectacular finds that not only suggest many contacts to the European continent during the MBA, but also some truly thought-provoking paraphernalia that ought to belong to a ritual specialist.5
