Of the couple hundred dissertations defended at the University of Oslo last year, it’s cool to see mine get a mention in @uio.no’s research journal, Apollon. Arguing for a more pluralistic understanding of the #BronzeAge in southeast Norway's forested landscape to challenge ‘plant blindness’ 🌱

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.
