'We will not get the iconic, research-based Viking Age Museum that was planned. I believe this is a loss both economically and to Norway as a cultural nation.'

I can't believe it, but I actually got to play a snippet of music in this programme. Who would have thought! "That's the way to do it - you play your lyre on the BBC!" Here's the teaser: https://t.co/ToM2PwPhWe

Just graduated from @AarhusUni in archaeology as Cand.Mag. Since my thesis got a great grade, I've decided to upload it online so that everyone can enjoy it!

This was a very cool study to be part of. We used the geochemistry of finds from the stratigraphy in Denmark's oldest town to date Europe's first glass production. From Charlemagne to Vikings and back.

What would you see if you applied the full geoarchaeological toolbox on a Viking-age house floor? We had a unique opportunity to investigate this in Ribe's emporium a few years ago. The answer has has just come to print. An archeology of invisible tracks. https://t.co/T0OLqqblnP

[Michael E. Smith @MichaelESmith]

Excellent opinion piece. Rejection of the Anthropocene concept by the geologists gives archaeologists the opportunity to get it right without the geology baggage. This was my thought when I heard the news (in Jena) @paleotropics @MPI_GEA @nicoleboivin

There are some big surprises for the early history of Northern Europe in this paper, and other evidence that decisively puts old questions to rest. Busy times ahead for archaeology.
