59 Mergsogin bein - ein aldargamal matsiður Símun V. Arge Úrtak Stutt framløga av vitnisburði um foman matsið, ið ikki tykist skrásettur áður. Nakrir tvíholaðir fótleggir av seyði, ið komu fram í ljósmála, tá ið rannsakað varð fomfrøðiliga í Uppistovubeitinum í Leirvík í 1994, bendu á, at fólk hava sogið mergin úr beinunum, eins og tað nýliga er ávíst í bæði Hetlandi og Islandi. Neyvari kanningar hava nú víst, at ávís fólk í nøkrum plássum kenna henda sið, og enntá at onkur fremur hann enn: seyðaføtumir vóm svidnir og kókaðir aftur við seyðar- høvdum. Ein heimildarmaður hevur greitt frá, at við dolki varð eitt hol borað niður í ovara enda og eitt hol inn á síðuna við niðara enda á legginum. Síðan varð ov- ari endi settur í munnin á einum bami, og ein vaksin blásti í hitt holið, tá kom mergurin út sum bleytt smør. Men siðurin tykist ikki hava verið lýstur áður í fólkalívs- frøðiligum ella siðsøguligum bókmentum og lítið kend- ur sum so. Heldur ikki hevur hann sett sær merki máls- liga uttan í fluttari merking. Siðurin er nú fomfrøðiliga staðfestur í áðumevndu rannsókn í Leirvík, har hann er tíðarfestur til 1100-1200-árini, meðan tflík bein í vár em funnin við rannsókn í Reynagarði, á Tinganesi, Tórs- havn, har tey em tíðarfest til 1600-1700-árini. Neyðugt verður við framhaldandi kanningum av hesum áhuga- verda fyribrigdi. Abstract A short presentation of evidence of an ancient food cus- tom which does not seem to have been registered previ- ously in the Faroes. In 1994 some bi-perforated sheep metatarsi were found during an archaeological research at "í Uppistovubeitinum" in Leirvík. These bones indi- cated that people have sucked the marrow out of the bones just as has recently been pointed out on the Shet- land Islands as well as on Iceland. Close examination now displays the fact that this habit is known by certain people at some places and that it is actually still being performed by at least one person: the hair on the sheep- 's legs was bumt off and then the legs were boiled along with the sheep's heads. An informant has explained that with a dagger one hole was drilled down through the up- per end and one through the side by the bottom end of the leg. Then the upper end was put into the child's mouth, and an adult would blow into the other hole, thus the marrow emerged as soft butter. But the custom does not seem to have been described earlier in any literature on Faroese ehtnology or cultural anthropology, and few seem to know about it. Neither has the custom influ- enced the language except in a figurative sense. Now the custom has been archaelogically confirmed by the above mentioned excavation in Leirvík. There the cus- tom has been dated back to 1100-1200 A.D., whereas last spring similar bones were found during an excava- tion at in “í Reynagarði” at Tinganes in Tórshavn. Those bones were dated back to 1600-1700 A.D. Yet another cultural element has been confirmed which the Faroes have in common with their neighbours to the south and to the north. However, further investigation of this in- teresting phenomenon is required.
