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’ 🌱

SCAPES postdoctor @annapp90.bsky.social is currently sampling human remains to explore population development and Norway’s Neolithic transition. Did agriculture arrive with colonizers? Did groups cooperate or clash? Did they eat a primarily terrestrial or maritime diet? #Archaeology #aDNA #isotopes

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.

On display at Archäologisches Museum Frauenfeld

Arkeologi leverer stadig banebrytende ny forskning, men gjør det den eldre irrelevante i dag?

Vi utforske dette i vår nye serie "Klassikeren". Først ut er Håkon Glørstads anmeldelse av Håkon Sheteligs "Primitive tider i Norge" doi.org/10.5617/pt.1...

Årets nummer er på trappene! Hva blir neste?

Occasionally, I get to write prehistoric columns for the newspaper Klassekampen. This time, I explore a newfound interest - #tattoos.

While we know relatively a lot about them, future studies should explore their interplay with clothing. Contributing in enhancing our understanding of embodiment.
