Article in Norwegian! The publishing system is broken. That has been clear for a while. Having been on the end that have to find peer reviewers for more than a decade... It's become so, so, so difficult. It's a major bottle neck in the workflow for everyone involved.

Tidsskriftet klarte ikke å finne fagfeller: — Systemet er ødelagt
To ganger i år har professor Petter Bae Brandtzæg opplevd at tidsskrift ikke klarte å skaffe fagfeller til å vurdere artiklene hans. Av 79 spurte personer, var et bare én som takket ja.

Starting December with yet another cold. Oslo's dark and wet. Behind on everything at home. Swamped at work. Trying to embrace the general messiness that this season of life is giving, and after some "admin" work I'll ease into this week with reading about writing. One of my favourite topics!

Should be of interest to archaeologists too! So 👉🏼 🏺
Daily dose of #runes: Today, let’s talk about the practice of marking what belongs to you, your important earthly possessions. A runic message on a shaped piece of wood is what you need. Next one up from the NOREGR exhibition, is an owner’s tag, a recent find from archaeological excavations in Oslo.

Apropos of teaching, I'll be doing a lecture on "Archeology today" for second year students in a few weeks (subject is on theory and research history), what should not be missed, in your opinion? It's their last lecture of the semester and close to exam date, so bonus points for extra fun stuff 🤓🏺

This is absolutely wonderful! Downloading and will share with those I know that teach at UiO.
As useful as Thomsen's Three-Age system 🏺 is, it also may have added to a disproportionate perception of how loooooong that period we usually sum up as #StoneAge really was ...

Quoting because, well, this is true everywhere. We see it in Europe and in Norway. Latest polling shows that FrP, our far right populist party, is the country's biggest (luckily, I guess, we have more than two parties).
political culture is built on top of much longer time horizons than elections might lead one to believe. many a political battle is won and lost generationally
He ran the worst campaign I have ever seen.

Bookbites, the library app of choice in Norway is, well, not that good. It is, however, an easy way to get quick access to free books. I started to attempt getting back into the habitat of reading for fun over the summer, instead of endless doomscrolling and binging.

Pip-pip: Er det bare oss eller er det flere «unike funn» enn før?
Spenner og piler og mynter og graver. De siste årene har funnene vært så mange at museene som skal behandle dem, ikke klarer å holde tritt.

1. Plagiat er den nye folkesporten.
Triggeren for dette er den såkalte selvplagiatsaken som det er stor uenighet om. Men det er ingen som faktisk snakker om hva som er problemet her, og det kommer som vanlig fra kostnadsinnsparing og dårlig pedagogikk.
