Peer review paper out: @irmelin.bsky.social examines proposed changes to Norway’s Cultural Environment Act. Using data from 2008–2025, the paper explores metal detecting, finder’s rewards, public participation, and the challenges of managing an ever-growing volume of finds. doi.org/10.5617/pt.1...

I am becoming increasingly disillusioned with academia these days. It's not about the work market or the system. It's about the people within the system that are so willing and even eager to outsource all of their thinking to machines.

Such a good update on the Mørstad hoard! Spectacular work from Anne, as usual - ensuring that not only more than 2500 yearly detecting finds are accessioned but on top of that has also managed to *catalogue* a steady stream of coins. #archaeology 🏺 www.forskning.no/vikingtiden/...

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. www.khrono.no/tidsskriftet...

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).

"All beeps ain't gold: Is it just us, or are there more "unique finds" than before?" I, and a few other archaeologists, were interviewed about one journalist's perception of an increase in "unique" detecting finds last year. Article in Norwegian! www.morgenbladet.no/kultur/2024/...

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.

Archaeological / heritage research is never performed outside social and political realities. Research can have various societal impacts which archaeologists and heritage professionals should be aware of. Especially important are the experiences of those often marginalized in society and archaeologists have indeed researched their experiences for decades. Archaeologists and heritage professionals have used their work as an inclusive strategy so that everyone might have a say in what heritage is or what is important to study archaeologically. In this session we ask, what are some of the impacts of archaeological knowledge production for multiple groups who may expe
