'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.'
There should be no obstacles to an iconic museum of the Viking Age at Bygdøy. But that requires getting central functions of such a museum in place, writes rector Svein Stølen. sciencenorway.no/museums-opi…

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

The first female Viking-Age burial in the Swedish Jämtland fells, found last summer (see quoted tweet) has just been excavated and found to contain among other things an axe!
Late 10th - 11th century, judging by the oval brooches.

The first female Viking Age burial in the Swedish Jämtland fells (far north) has just been found!
This is super important for our understanding of cultural spread and interactions during this period.
Congratulations to the archaeological team at Jamtli!

Yesterday was a very exciting day for The Danish Hedgehog Project as we got the opportunity to 3D scan hedgehog skulls for our research describing dental health in hedgehogs🦔
The scans were performed in collaboration with @SSindb & @PankTroels

Yesterday, @SSindb came by @koebenhavns_uni to test 3D-scanning of cuneiform tablets, and the results were simply awesome! @Dr_Pindsvin also supplied additional materials for the tests. More to follow on 3D-scanned clay tablets in the future!
