I handed in my Prehistoric #Archaeology Master's Degree thesis a few days ago, and now the long (approximately) four weeks of waiting begin. I am equal parts relieved and nervous.
Please tell me: What was the first thing you did when you handed it in or got your thesis graded?

SPACE: In 2023 Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen brought cultural heritage to space, incl. a gold bracteate showing Odin on a horse and raven, Huginn. The bracteate dates to the 5th-6th century, and was found by a detectorist in 2019. #Archaeology #Space 🏺

My favorite thing about #archaeology is the vast array of methods - both scientific and digital one can use. My least favorite thing is all the methods that I can't do. But luckily, my second favorite thing is learning new methods.

One of my favorite objects is bag-shaped pendants & especially this one: gold with cloisonné - & most likely garnet. Found by a metal detectorist on an Iron Age central site, Gudme (Denmark).
I wouldn't mind a replica of that around my neck!

Thesis thoughts: As I'm going through research history, I thought I'd share, what is believed to be the first object found by metaldetector & be considered treasure in Denmark. She was found in 1978 in Værebro. LBA per.IV

One of my favorite things is the representation of animals - do they have to look like something specific? These look a bit like bear faces. Other refers to them as cats. What do you think?

I did my bachelor degree on socketed axeheads from ploughsoil contexts. This is absolutely an amazing discovery! Unbelievable amazing - and such luck that it has been preserved!
There’s something extraordinary about this otherwise pretty standard Late Bronze Age axehead:
A human fingerprint. A real, visible and tangible connection to someone from 3000 years ago. If that doesn’t give you goosebumps, idk what will. 🥹
