My former colleague, Peter Pentz from the Danish National Museum, presents a new discovery from the island of Tåsinge. This find has several parallels, including similarities to the helmet from the Sutton Hoo burial. I created the drawing for him.

Finally the Stone Age film "Fremmed" had premiere.
In the film we experience the intense meeting between the hunter-gatherers and the first farmers.

Proud to be part of the archaeological team from the Danish National Museum behind the fantastic Stone Age film “the strangers” set in Denmark 4000 BC where the first farmers met the hunter/gatheres
Two new languages were created for the film!

Remains of a circular structure and the artefacts found there at #Neolithic Vasagård West, Denmark. The varied pottery and engraved stones depicting sun motifs indicate that it was a short-lived cult building from a transitionary period.

My colleague Lasse Sørensen and I have written a paper for this impressive publication. We explore the relationship between cultures in the transition to the Neolithic in southern Scandinavia, where we can see a clear impact on the economic strategy.
Welchen Wert hatten Beile und Äxte in prähistorischen Gesellschaften – waren sie Werkzeug, Waffe, Tauschmittel oder Statussymbol? Der Doppelband "Der soziale Wert prähistorischer Beile – neue archäologische und archäometrische Ansätze." ist jetzt online verfügbar: doi.org/10.11588/pro...
