@cassidycroci Congratulations, @cassidycroci - well done!

Excited to announce that my first book chapter 'Frá Birni er nær allt stórmenni komit á Íslandi: A Social Network Analysis of Bjǫrn buna’s Descendants in Landnámabók (The Book of Settlements)' has been published in Social Network Analysis and Medieval History!

Delighted to announce our new website hiddenheritages.ai/en. The Decoding Hidden Heritages project brings together over 5,500 folktales from manuscript and printed sources. It really is a treasure trove of stories in Gàidhlig, Irish and English. @HumanitiesDCU @FiontarGaeilge

@murrayJamescoo1 @SNSBI_official @StirUni @DigitalOnomast @UofGCSCS @INS_UHI @NorthAges @placenamesni @ICOSnews @CelticGaelic Final programme to come soon, but here's some more info on the speakers:

The Norwegian digital tradition archive Samla is launched. Samla is a Research Council funded research infrastructure at housed at @UiB_UB - a great day for @UiB. We're having a great Samla international seminar today.

UNGEGN was pleased to contribute to the Forum on Integrated Geospatial Information Management: Strengthening Our Global Geospatial Information Community at #unggim. Great that the #geospatial community recognises the importance of #geonames 🌍

@KristerVasshus @HakonBlystad Perhaps they learnt as they settled abroad. There are several Aptot (= OSc. Abildtoft) and Prétot (= OSc. Peretoft) place-names of Scandinavian origin in Normandy. And the word pere is hardly anything but a loanword in Scandinavian.

@HakonBlystad Other than scholarly caution, absolutely not. The Scandinavian words for apples indicate presence before ca 700 AD. Medieval laws in Scandinavia regulate bee keeping. People also had taste buds in the Viking age, so not herbing your food up from the kitchen garden would be silly

Things I am (close to) convinced about, although we don't have (much) archaeological evidence about it (to the best of my knowledge): Viking age Scandinavians cultivated fruit trees like apples and plums. They kept bees for wax and honey. Their kitchen gardens were great.

Just presented at the SNSBI Conference in Dublin. Grand crowd and interesting questions asked @DCU @SNSBI_official

Place names workshop at @DCU on tree names on today - very appropriately we started with tour of the Botanic Gardens @DCU @NBGGlasnevinOPW @logainm_ie
