Gunnister Man

He wore a woollen shirt, a suit of long coat and short wide breeches, and an outer jacket.

The coins were common in Shetland at that time because of trade by north European merchants, so these do not give any indication of his origin.

Other items found included a leather belt, a silk ribbon, three woollen cords, a small knitted fragment, a birch stick, a wooden stave tub, a knife handle, a horn spoon, a quill, a horn container with a wooden stopper, and two flat pieces of wood.

The only remains of the body were a piece of skull with dark hair, finger and toe nails, fragments of bone from the sleeves and in one stocking.

[1] A small piece of open-work knitting was found with the man's findings, with a pattern of three concentric diamonds, but no worked edge.
