Measuring Trust:Identifying attitudes towards money in the Eleventh Centurya
Get PDFA relatively swift transition from a silver bullion economy to a coin-based monetary market- exchange system in Norway in the eleventh century CE coincided with both the new emergence of a sustained state-scale society and a widely accepted conversion to Christianity in the twilight of the Viking Age. However, what is less well-understood are the ideological dynamics of the transition itself. In this paper we propose that there was an empirically visible stage during the eleventh century during which traders slowly came to accept the legitimacy of coinage, and by association many aspects of a larger imagined community, far beyond the close-at-hand authority of local chiefdoms and in support of a wholly new, continental-style monarchy. We present as a case study the clear material evidence for a gradually growing trust and confidence in new coinage issued under the expanding authority of the king by way of an identifiable reduction in the practice of pecking coins, as in testing its precious metal quality, indicating increased trust in the authority of the issuer, Harald Hardrada. We propose that this entailed a process of symbolic entrainment, with the coins being seen ultimately as valuable in their own right, apart from value based solely on their precious metal content alone

Når materialet tages ud af det hidtidige iltfattige og vandmættede miljø, starter en kæde af destruktive processer – medmindre der findes forholdsregler, konkrete planer og ressourcer for at sikre fremtiden for de udgravede genstande. Forståelse for forskellene mellem friskt /ikke-nedbrudt træ og arkæologisk vanddrukkent træ og dets krav er afgørende for alle, der er involveret i udgravning af vanddrukne træfund, og en introduktion til vanddrukkent træs særlige egenskaber gives i indledningen. Papiret skitserer derefter nogle af de nødvendige trin, når vanddrukne arkæologiske skibsvrag fjernes fra det undervandsmiljøet, indtil de er i stabil tilstand, hensigtsmæssigt opbevaret eller udstillet
Surveying the landscape of COVID-19 web collections in European GLAM institutions
No full textDuring the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, defined for this chapter as January 2020 to May 2023, cultural heritage institutions undertook significant efforts to document this unprecedented era for posterity. This chapter focuses on how these institutions have documented the pandemic online, detailing a survey conducted by the WARCnet project in 2022, which explored COVID-19 web collection strategies by Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM) institutions in Europe, analysing responses from the UK, Belgium, and other European countries
