Today should have been set up day for the Jorvik Viking Festival... but we're expecting a storm. High winds and metals at stupidly high temperatures don't mix! #jvf20 #archaeology #experimentalarchaeology #StormDennis

[Viking Visitor @VisitingViking]

made made by @AsgardJim
Based on the original find from south east of Skye The sword belt it was on has seen much action is now well worn and in need of repair!

@Archaeofiend Tbf, it always was - the UK paid very heavily for US assistance in WWII.

[Jim Glazzard @AsgardJim]

@AidanOSulliva15 Good to know. I have a lot to be getting on with while I figure out the next move...

[Jim Glazzard @AsgardJim]

It's been a week since I submitted my MA dissertation on Viking Age non-ferrous metalworking... and life hasn't slowed down at all.. so here I am on the #asgardsthrone posing with the printed copies - king of the dissertations!! #vikings #archaeology

[Jim Glazzard @AsgardJim]

Here's some of the people who helped me get through the last year!!

[Kristen N. O’Connor @kno_way]

It's been a wild year, y'all.

I'm glad I got to share it with you wild humans.

I don't think I would have gotten through my masters without ya.

[Jim Glazzard @AsgardJim]

Some things are worth waiting for.... I carved the master for the grip on this sword 16 years ago!! And here it is, finally finished and calling me to run off into battle wearing nothing but a torc!! 😂😂

[Jim Glazzard @AsgardJim]

Drinking beer in a tent by the grave mounds of Borre. Too dark for pictures, plenty of time for that. But I'm not sure it gets any better than this! #vikings #midgardsblot

[Jim Glazzard @AsgardJim]
