Lisbeth Imer

Runologist, epigraphist and archaeologist making a meaning out of broken things and inscriptions. I love my husband and my dog. I also really like dinosaurs.

Dr @lisbethimer examining the Læborg Stone, one of several Viking-Age runestones mentioning a women named Thyra.

The Thyra in question was likely a powerful Queen who played a pivotal role in the emergence of the Danish state.

@Tempelrydderen @Kristel_Zilmer Man skærper sig og ranker ryggen, når man går igennem de haller, ikke sandt!

[Lisbeth Imer @lisbethimer]

@KristerVasshus @MagnusPharao Fedt! Det er en fantastisk parallel.

[Lisbeth Imer @lisbethimer]

Damned auto correct 😅 read, not reas. Clear sighted, not sightseeing of course!

[Lisbeth Imer @lisbethimer]

Reas Kristel’s post about how field runology is carried out in the best way. Clear sightseeing as always👇

Today I taught a runology class where we also talked about spectacular runic finds, and important considerations in communicating about and reacting to news about such finds. A few thoughts.

This was indeed a great conference. I really love interdisciplinairy work - and being a part of it 🥰

[Lisbeth Imer @lisbethimer]

@JudithJesch @jaz_runologist And me! Ot was great to meet up again.

@KristerVasshus Her i byen går ungerne rundt og synger julen ind hos folk d. 22. december. Det synes jeg er en fin tradition, men jeg kender den ikke andre steder fra.

[Lisbeth Imer @lisbethimer]

We made it to the cover of #antiquity what an honour!

[Ny Björn Gustafsson @NyBjornG]

Paper, paper - READ all about it!!! 🥳

Our results will be published in Antiquity in two weeks.

[Lisbeth Imer @lisbethimer]

I have a new favourite runestone: the Læborg stone that Ravnunge-Tue carved in honour of his queen Thyra. Because of his signature and his carving technique on this stone, Laila Kitzler Åhfeldt and I discovered that he also carved the larger Jelling stone.

@KristerVasshus Seriously som the Norsemen udtaler det.

[Lisbeth Imer @lisbethimer]

@CatJarman I want to live there! 😍

[Lisbeth Imer @lisbethimer]

Also interesting that the concluding r-rune in the name Siggsifr resembles the type that you would find i Greenland.

[Kristel Zilmer @Kristel_Zilmer]

@markoldham_ @NIKUnorway An interesting find. One of these cases where there are fuzzy borders between what we determine as script-like signs and other visual markings. But an interesting attempt at making sense of what one may see within the visual ornament.

[Lisbeth Imer @lisbethimer]

The academic article that @KristerVasshus and I have written about the runic bracteates from Vindelev is out.

[Krister Vasshus @KristerVasshus]

Lost in transition: The runic bracteates from the Vindelev hoard. https://t.co/JVAvx72AUI

The academic article @lisbethimer and I have been writing about the runic inscriptions on the Vindelev gold has now been published in the latest edition of NOWELE. 1/6

[Lisbeth Imer @lisbethimer]

Not just any runestone, though. This is the famous Rök runestone in Östergötland.

[Lisbeth Imer @lisbethimer]

You know you had a great day, when you had a photographer and a correspondent race to see a #runestone
