Summary:3D model of a fragment of a 16th-century ceramic trumpet found during the excavation of the Skriðuklaustur monastery in eastern Iceland. ICP-MS analysis revealed that the trumpet was produced in a workshop in Lower Saxony, Germany. From there it was first transported to Bremen or Hamburg and then shipped to Iceland with Hanseatic merchants. Such trumpets were called “pilgrim horns” and were commonly used to call the brethren to services. No other ceramic pieces of this kind have been found in Iceland before. Physical object held by the National Museum of Iceland nr: 2008-36-921. Found 22/07/2008, found & logged by BB/GT Part of the Skriðuklaustur Monastery 1550 reconstruction. Digitisation by Open Virtual Worlds, a research team within the School of Computer Science, University of St Andrews, in cooperation with the Gunnar Gunnarsson Institute at Skriðuklaustur and the National Museum of Iceland. 3D digitisation was done by Catherine Cassidy and Iain Oliver with archaeological assistance provided by Skúli Gunnarsson.
