Ikke for å skryte, eller.. jo, for å skryte: Boka mi er visst "mesterlig formidingskunst"
6 A-er: Mesterlig formidlingskunst om klima - Altinget
Bård Lahn skriver enkelt og forståelig om det som er abstrakt og vanskelig. Få, om noen, sakprosaforfattere mestrer tilsvarende, skriver Altingets anmelder Ane Breivik.

These little things? Just some Stone Age #axes (and a dagger). Effective display of #neolithic time depth. Definitely not the worst day at the office!

Fishing some 5,300 years ago: a Neolithic fishhook made of wild boar tusk, wrapped with a fishing line.
The size of the fishhook is 6.5 cm. It was used to catch pikes.
Found in the lake-dwelling settlement of Arbon Bleiche 3, Switzerland.

Early #FindsFriday news! Until now, the female #Bronzeage burial from #Rege in #Norway, has been compared to the famous Egtved #burial.
On closer look, the Rege #beltplate is technically more advanced, more skillfull - we need to look for better comparisons! Presumably on the #Danish islands!

Was asked by @forskning.bsky.social to comment on the 'Shedding new light...' paper by L. García Sanjuán, @martaguardamino.bsky.social and co-authors about an excavated warrior stela. A great read, interesting findings and interpretations! But, could there also be link to a unique Norwegian slab? 👇
Hva betyr egentlig figurene på disse flere tusen år gamle steinene?
De er kjent som kriger-steler fra Spania og Portugal. Men akkurat denne steinen kalles rundt 4.000 år gammelt hastverksarbeid.

These Late Bronze Age wooden figures - echoing motifs found in contemporary Nordic rock art - are fantastic! Such finds add nuance to how we interpret the meaning and context of the #rockart itself. E.g. bringing 3D form to 2D rock art, and links different materials in #bronzeage symbolism.
