#FindsFriday a late #Bronzeage #sword from Kostryzyn with a very interesting crown-like ribbon around the hilt. I know this crown shaped pattern from early #ironage neckrings in Denmagk, but this sword is much earlier.
Oh yes, this is with no doubt a masterpiece! When you are interested where it was made and if there are others from the same workshop here is an educated guess... #bronzeage

Heide has a small drill in her hand. She is going to drill a whole in a bronze dagger. The dagger is from hhe Bronze Age. Interesting is the way Heide holds the drill. Her little finger is used as a support to keep the hand stady.
I often find myself in situations where I'm really glad I had such a long and varied #education. Some of the habits from my apprenticeship as #goldsmith still are part of my movements. I don't think about holding my little finger as a stabiliser for the drill; I just do it. #archaeology #bronzeage
It was exciting to present the #research behind the picture that I entered into the competition! The real fascination of metallography 🧪 only becomes apparent when you see the original artefact. #archaeology 🏺 #bronzeage
I had the most incredible #time-travelling experience working in the storage facilities at the National Museum in #Stettin. I always imagined #archaeologists 🏺 would spend a lot of time in mysterious, dusty rooms – at least, that's what Indiana Jones taught us, right? Here, it is true! #Bronzeage
That sounds like a good holiday book! Thanks for sharing.
Super exciting!
Would you like to know why I take #pictures of #ancient #metal objects and what makes the bronze medal picture from the 2025 DNRF🧪 #photocompetition so special? Mark 20 February in your calendar. Here, I will give a short talk in Aarhus on the #craft secrets revealed by my picture. #bronzeage
Interview with my dear colleague Daniel Berger about our latest #article on metal #provenance studies of Sardinian #Bronzeage figurines. 🧪🏺
Anna Tornberg and Heide Nørgaard smiling in the camera. Behind on a table are the bronzes found in a 3500 year old burial near Trelleborg.
My colleagues, Anna Tornberg and Kristian Brink, invited me to #Lund to see a #Bronzeage belt plate. They didn't just ask me to come and look at it. My specialty is not looking at #things, but imagining how they were #crafted while spending hours examining them. And this we did! 🧪🏺

Enjoying the latest series of #DiggingForBritain? Antiquity authors appear in an upcoming episode, exploring the Bronze Age tin trade that connected Britain to the East Mediterranean!

The first #trip this year with my christmas present! A suitcase made for stickers. I already added the collected #stickers from the last two years trips. And soon I can add a new sticker, this time from Lund.

Heide in the National Museum in Copenhagen studying the bronzeage bronze lures. Heide Nørgaard is very concentrated looking at one of the bronze lures exhibited in Copenhagen.
In #Copenhagen.
This time, I focused on the #lures and #shields!
Before the #Viksø #helmets can #gopublic, there is one issue that needs to be resolved. I have been working on describing the #crafting of the helmets when I noticed something new that I had not paid attention to before. #bronzeage
A super happy Heide in front of the P1 morning radio studio just before we pitched our research at the editorial meeting.
With a group of female researchers, all alumni of the Academy of Science Communication #RoyalDanishAcademyofSciences, I visited the Danish no.1 Radio programme #P1. We were invited to say hi and pitch our research to get more female experts in radio! #expert in #archaeoligy #bronzeage #metals #craft
It is very good for research when pictures taken during investigations for scientific reasons are seen as special. 🧪
While trying to understand how 3,500-year-old jewellery was made, a beautiful picture came to life. #archaeology #bronzeage #art #moesgaard
Yeah! Congrats to all the other scientists with their great pictures I have seen today!
The three winner of the foto competition at the DNRF annual meeting in Copenhagen. Heide is smiling to the right.
What a day! 3rd place in the science foto competition with a metallography of a #Bronzeage beltplate and an invitation to the @dg.dk annual meeting. Uahhh
One of my metallographies of #Bronzeage artefacts also impressed a jury panel. Third place in the Danish National Research Foundation's photo competition.
Thank you so much!
No, but the site is now noted on my to-visit-list, thanks
Yes Matzanni is near Vallermosa and seems to be one of the oldest well temples.
You are absolutely right with the date of the nuraghe, the house of the nuragic people. I though think the well temple was built around 1000-900 BC. I worked on one of the oldest well temple in Matzanni and this is dated to 1000BC.
Need to share this...the #nuraghe from Santa Cristina on #Sardinia dating some 3200 years ago. A #Bronzeage monument of emense beauty. #archaeology 🏺
These corner stones of the #Bronzeage wall structure around the #settlement at Santa Cristina on Sardinia are part of the #nuraghe culture and date to 1000isch BC. Here pictured for #standingstonesunday. 🏺
I am on Sardinia looking for #Bronzeage connection between the #nuraghe culture and the #Nordic Bronze Age. Might it be in #Nuoro I can find evidence? This guy looks familiar... #archaeology 🏺 #MoesgaardMuseum
The test pit outside the archaeological area from Matzanni is excavated.
When the assumed 20 cm of colluvium (?) turned out to be 75 cm! To understand the #environmental changes at the #sacredwell in Matzanni, #Sardinia, we dug test pits 🏺– this one was deep! #archaeology #Bronzeage #ironage #moesgaard #augustinusfoundation
And that really scared me! It is not often I scream like a girl.
Metallography of an iron age slag showing the matrix with fayalite and wustite and several cavities. Around a large irregular cavity a unknown layered structure is visible.
On #FindsFriday I present a question! This #metallography of a late iron age #slag has an inclusion I cannot identify! The slag contains fayalite and wustite indicating iron #smelting, but what is this layering around the cavity?
