Dr @lisbethimer examining the Læborg Stone, one of several Viking-Age runestones mentioning a women named Thyra. The Thyra in question was likely a powerful Queen who played a pivotal role in the emergence of the Danish state. 🔗 from 2023 🆓 buff.ly/4fDGnIS

In the Maya city-state of Seibal weird things were happening in the early 9th century. One symptom of this was that warlords with weird non-Maya names, depicted with foreign looking moustaches and bowl haircuts were depicted on stelae. Were they from Central Mexico? 1/3

Today I taught a runology class where we also talked about spectacular runic finds, and important considerations in communicating about and reacting to news about such finds. A few thoughts.

@KristerVasshus Her i byen går ungerne rundt og synger julen ind hos folk d. 22. december. Det synes jeg er en fin tradition, men jeg kender den ikke andre steder fra.

I have a new favourite runestone: the Læborg stone that Ravnunge-Tue carved in honour of his queen Thyra. Because of his signature and his carving technique on this stone, Laila Kitzler Åhfeldt and I discovered that he also carved the larger Jelling stone.

The reconstruction is based on the excavation of a villa at the site and the visitor centre that incorporates the archaeology. 😍 Seriously. Go see it!

I spent this afternoon being shown the stunning Roman villa at @thenewtsomerset. Seriously impressed with the attention to detail and investment made in the experimental archaeology. They have a fully working hypocaust!

Also interesting that the concluding r-rune in the name Siggsifr resembles the type that you would find i Greenland.

@markoldham_ @NIKUnorway An interesting find. One of these cases where there are fuzzy borders between what we determine as script-like signs and other visual markings. But an interesting attempt at making sense of what one may see within the visual ornament.

Not just any runestone, though. This is the famous Rök runestone in Östergötland.

You know you had a great day, when you had a photographer and a correspondent race to see a #runestone
