No full textMaking the Invisible Visible: The Applicability and Potential of Non-Invasive Methods in Pastoral Mountain Landscapes—New Results from Aerial Surveys and Geophysical Prospection at Shielings Across Møre and Romsdal, Norway
No full textShielings are seasonal settlements found in upland pastures across Scandinavia and the North Atlantic. New investigations in the county of Møre and Romsdal, Norway, demonstrate the existence of this transhumant system by the Viking Age and Early Middle Ages. Sub-terranean features in these pastoral mountain landscapes have been identified by remote sensing technologies, but non-invasive methods still face challenges in terms of practical applicability and in confirming the presence of archaeological sites. Generally, aerial surveys, such as LiDAR and image-based modelling, excel in documenting visual landscapes and may enhance detection of low-visibility features. Thermography may also detect shallow subsurface features but is limited by solar conditions and vegetation. Magnetic methods face challenges due to the heterogeneous moraine geology. Ground-penetrating radar has yielded better results but is highly impractical and inefficient in these remote and rough landscapes. Systematic soil coring or test-pitting remain the most reliable options for detecting these faint sites, yet non-invasive methods may offer a better understanding of the archaeological contexts—between the initial survey and the final excavation. Altogether, the study highlights the dependency on landscape, soil, and vegetation, emphasising the need to consider each method’s possibilities and limitations based on site environments and conditions
Web Archives for Music Research
No full textA European national library has set a strategic goal to make more of its cultural heritage materials accessible and engaging for researchers by 2024. In this paper, we present findings from an advocacy initiative targeted at researchers at national universities in music-related fields. The national web archive provides primary sources and contextual information relevant to music researchers as they engage with our music collections. However, there is room for improvement in the connection between these collections and our understanding of user needs.Reports by Healy et al. (2022) and Healy & Byrne (2023) explore the challenges researchers face when using web archives, highlighting the ongoing need to examine the skills, tools, and methods associated with web archiving. Additionally, the sounds of the web—from MIDI to streaming—are an integral part of its history, yet this aspect is often overlooked by tools like the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine (Morris, 2019).Through semi-structured interviews with fellow curators and music researchers at universities, we identify current barriers to access and user requirements for improved utilization of web archival resources. Our advocacy initiative also allows us to summarize current research trends as feedback for web curators. In conclusion, we describe how the web curators processed our findings into suggestions for updates and refinements to web crawling strategies and the built-in tools in the SolrWayBack installation.ReferencesHealy, S., & Byrne, H.

Sage.A European national library has set a strategic goal to make more of its cultural heritage materials accessible and engaging for researchers by 2024. In this paper, we present findings from an advocacy initiative targeted at researchers at national universities in music-related fields. Danish universities engage in a wide range of music-related research, spanning from musicology and composition to music psychology and music technology. Researchers explore everything from musical perception and the cultural significance of musicto the development of new digital tools for music production. Additionally, there is a focus on the role of music in society, including its influence on identity and social interaction. Collaborations between disciplines such as psychology, sociology, and arts contribute to a deeper understanding of music's complex nature and its significance in people's lives. Music collections and theWeb archive at the national library are documenting the roles music plays in historic and contemporary societies (Royal Danish Library, n.d.-a; Royal Danish Library, n.d.-b). The national web archive provides primary sources and contextual information relevant to music researchers as they engagewith our music collections. However, there is room for improvement in the connection between these collections and our understanding of user needs. Ethnomusicology researchers argue that archivists and archives should play a more proactive role: not only can existing collections be better utilised, and usefully and meaningfully disseminated, but the way that archiving is donecan also be transformed better to meet the needs of the cultural lives of those communities who find existing collections of particular value (Landau & Topp Fargion, 2012). Digital humanities supported by larger amounts of available data challenges the music related fields to reflect on their data analysis and use of computational methods (Egan, 2021). Reports by Healy et al. (2022) and Healy & Byrne (2023) explore the challenges researchers face when using web archives,highlighting the ongoing need to examine the skills, tools, and methods associated with web archiving. Collaborations between those who create the data and those who want to use the data is proving to be a proactive solution for increasing scholarly engagement with web archives (Healy & Byrne, 2023 p. vii). Additionally, the sounds of the web—from MIDI to streaming—are an integral part of its history, yet this aspect is often overlooked by tools like the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine (Morris, 2019).Through semi-structured interviews with curators, librarians, and music researchers at universities, we identify key barriers to access and user requirements for improved utilization of web archival resources. Web archiving is often suffused in technicaldetails of maintaining the archival process of running and planning web crawls that produce the Web archive. Recent politicaleconomical prioritizations have minimized the structural framework that support advisory meetings between curators, researchers, and the commercial sectors. As a result, curators, who are preoccupied with technical tasks, receive less input from researchers. This lack of communication leaves little time for curators to stay updated on the evolving needs and desires of various research fields that could benefit from library collections. Our advocacy initiative also allows us to summarize current research trends as feedback for the web curators. In conclusion, we describe how the web curators processed our findings into suggestions for updates and refinements to web crawling strategies and the built-in tools in the SolrWayBack installation.BibliographyEgan (Pádraig Mac Aodhgáin), P.

How local communities battle dysfunctional collective fraction sorting
No full textClimate change demands greater recycling to save resources. This is reflected in the national guidelines for elaborate waste sorting ‘fraction sorting’ - a crucial part of Danish climate politics. Approximately 3 million Danes live in housing with collective fraction sorting. Such waste facilities are typically found in high-rise and social housing. These housing types are also where fraction sorting is of the lowest quality and waste facilities have poor infrastructures for fraction sorting. This policy brief presents empirical findings from two social housing estates to show what we may learn from local communities who battle to solve the challenges.<br/
