Melchior Lorck (1526/27-1583) - syn og sagn i Lorcks billeder
No full textMelchior Lorck er en af 1500-tallets mest interessante kunstnere. Han er også en af de mest omrejsende. Han blev født i Flensburg i Slesvig i 1526 eller 1527 (man ved det ikke mere nøjagtigt) og udviste allerede som ung et så markant kunstnerisk talent, at hertugen i Slesvig – der på det tidspunkt var den danske konge, Christian 3 – tilbød at finansiere en kunstneruddannelse af ham i udlandet. Christian havde fået brug for en kunstner med internationalt format til at arbejde for sit reformationsprojekt

KKNV01634-01 Ting Jellinge, Bakkegård:Beretning for arkæologisk eftergravning af sølvdeponering fra vikingetid
Get PDFEfter fundet af en sølvdeponering med brudsølv og kufiske mønter fra o. 900 ved detektorafsøgning gravede Museum Sydøstdanmark et præparat op, som senere blev udgravet på museet. Både før og efter fundet af depotet var der fundet adskillige metalgenstande fra yngre jernalder med detektor på samme mark, hvilket tydede på, at der var tale om en bebyggelse.I september 2025 foretog museet en eftergravning af deponeringen. I et mindre felt var yderligere sølv fra depotet i pløjelaget og ved undergrundsniveau fremkom spor af et ca. 38 m langt krumvægshus med velbevaret vægforløb. Deponeringen er sket 2 m fra husets nordøsthjørne, men om de er samtidige, afventer C14-dateringer huset. I søgegrøfter, der omfattede ca. 1,5 ha. fandtes yderligere tegn på tilstedeværelse af 11 treskibede huse, orienteret Ø-V.<br/
The Letter from Porto Novo - Three Insights into the Danish Slave Trade in India
No full textIn the spring of 1696, a letter arrived at the Danish colony of Tranquebar on the Coromandel Coast. The Secret Council of the colony gathered at the fort to discuss a proposition from slave traders in the north to transport enslaved individuals across the Indian Ocean on Danish ships. The Danish East India Company’s involvement in the Asian slave trade, particularly in the 17th century, is known. However, the poor condition of the company archives has hindered in-depth research. Recent preservation and transcription efforts have made previously inaccessible archival material available to historians, providing new insights into the trade and transportation of enslaved people. This article uses the letter from Porto Novo as a focal point to re-examine Danish colonial activities in Asia and their connections in the late 17th and early 18th centuries

Cinnabar for Roman Ephesus: Material quality, processing and provenance
No full textEphesus was an important harbor city that flourished during the Roman period and ancient texts mention Almadén in Spain and the Cilbian fields of Ephesus as important cinnabar sources in antiquity. This work investigates whether imported cinnabar was used and whether this could be related to changes in painting activities over time. Microscopic analysis indicates a consistent preparation of cinnabar, hinting at a uniform source material quality or processing technique. However, the use of cinnabar varies among the architectural structures studied, indicating a plurality of painting techniques. A few of the analyzed cinnabar samples overlap with Turkish- and Balkan reference Pb isotope ratios; three samples from tabernas, however, deviate from this. The Hg isotope ratios reveal that cinnabar from carbonate-hosted deposits was likely used, and that processing of cinnabar included heating as suggested by ancient texts. Most notably, a correlation exists between the geochemical data and the painting technique – shifts in sourcing and cinnabar usage are potentially assignable to building chronology and/or usage. Through the lens of material provenance and processing, Ephesian cinnabar brings the organization of pigment trade into focus
