Perlerne fra Langtbortistan
Det nordiske rav spillede en stor rolle i bronzealderens omfattende handelsnetværk fra Østersøen og til Middelhavsområdet. Nu har en håndfuld ravperler fra en grav i Syrien også vist sig at stamme så langt væk fra som Østersøområdet, 3.000 km fra fundstedet. Men hvorfor var rav så populært

Listening to Social and Spatial Change in the 19th Century City
Building on the overall themes of urban transformation and urban histories, this article explores the aural aspects of urban change during the massive urbanisation and industrialisation of 19th century Europe. The article springs from the larger research project Lyden af Hovedstaden (Sound of the Capital) that joins urban historians and sociolinguists in a study of Copenhagen’s sonic and aural history and heritage and has resulted in numerous publications and a recently opened special exhibition at the Museum of Copenhagen (Parby 2025; Quist and Hansen 2025; Museum of Copenhagen 2025). How did urbanites and Copenhageners in particular experience the massive urban transformation aurally? And how can focusing on historical soundscapes and listening practices improve our understanding of urban change

Small Churches and Church Organisation in Norse Greenland
According to Icelandic sagas Grænlendinga saga and Eirik’s saga the Norse colonies in south and southwest Greenland were established from Iceland in the later part of the 980s. Furthermore, it is stated in Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar, that Christianity was introduced to the Greenlanders around 1000 on the initiative of the Norwegian king Olav Tryggvason, indicating Norwegian influence over Greenland and Norse Greenlandic dependence on Norway almost from the establishment of the colonies in Greenland. Based on the results of a radiocarbon programme focusing on the group of small churches in the central part of the Eastern Settlement which was carried out between 2001 and 2010 we suggest that majority of the Icelandic colonists were Christians already when they arrived in Greenland and that they built churches from the very beginning of settlement. We suggest that, from the time of the initial settlement, the building of churches in Greenland were driven by the farmers themselves, and that, over time the Church developed into a centralised organisation headed by a few large landowners with close relations to the Norwegian Church and the Norwegian kings.In recent years, archaeologists working at Norse sites across the North Atlantic have excavated a number of very small churches with cemeteries, often associated with individual farms. Such sites seem to be a characteristic feature of early ecclesiastical establishments in Norse settlements around the North Atlantic, and they stand in marked contrast to church sites elsewhere in Europe. But what was the reason behind this phenomenon?From Greenland to Denmark, and from Ireland to the Hebrides, Iceland, and Norway, this volume presents a much-needed overview of small church studies from around the North Atlantic. The chapters gathered here discuss the different types of evidence for small churches and early ecclesiastical landscapes, review existing debates, and develop a synthesis that places the small churches in a broader context. Ultimately, despite the varied types of data at play, the contributions to this volume combine to offer a more coherent picture of the small church phenomenon, pointing to a church that was able to answer the needs of a newly converted population despite the lack of an established infrastructure, and throwing new light on how people lived and worshipped in an environment of dispersed settlement

KNV01577 Bogø Kostskole
Museum Sydøstdanmark udførte en større arkæologisk forundersøgelse forud for etableringen af en sportshal på Bogø Kostskole i Bogø By. Forundersøgelsen afdækkede 381 m2, hvilket svarer til 7,8% af det samlede areal. Der fremkom ingen væsentlig væsentlige fortidsminder, og det noteredes at området var kraftigt præget af en recent forstyrrelse i form af påkørt jord. Arealet blev frigivet til bygherres anlægsarbejde efter endt forundersøgelse
