Let´s reinvigorate ground stone tool research! Here is my first, major attempt at just that. You wont believe how important slate technology is. link.springer.com/article/10…

Scalar Effects in Ground Slate Technology and the Adaptive Consequences for Circumpolar Maritime...

Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory - Ground slate technology is a trademark of circumpolar hunter-gatherers occupying coastal ecotones. However, a causal framework for explaining what...

(FIGURE WARNING: Unfortunately, area map (Fig1) lacks site locations and source markers, and Fig10 has absurd layout. Both due to a mix-up in typesetting. Hang in there. Have asked publisher to fix it as it makes for awkward reading. Hopefully, corrected version will follow)
Finally! The results of a project I´m proud of is out: "Climatic changes cause synchronous population dynamics and adaptive strategies among coastal hunter-gatherers in Holocene northern Europe" bit.ly/3d2yuN7

Jeg og @ARCHAEOfelix med kronikk i dag om hvordan historien viser at miljøendringer gir konflikt. Til tross bruk av historiebegrepet dreier det seg om generelle humanøkologiske responsmekanismer og arkeologiens bidrag. @UiTromso dn.no/forskningviser-at-/his…
Klima- og miljøendringer gir konflikt og folkevandring, viser historien

Klima- og miljøendringer gir konflikt og folkevandring, viser historien

Miljøendringer har vært en hovedårsak til konflikt og migrasjon til alle tider. Se bare på hva som hendte hos Mayafolket.

Staten svikter akademikerne og grunnforskningen

KRONIKK: Staten har pålagt universitetene og drive med forskning, men mange akademikere sliter med å levere. Det er ikke bare deres skyld.

Skulle vel aldri vært antatt i utgangspunktet @CappelenDamm ? 'Forlaget stopper utgivelsen av Durek Verretts bok' nrk.no/kultur/1.14753898
Ingen konsensus om at klimaendringer øker faren for konflikt og migrasjon ifølge IPCC. Her bør arkeologien vise sin relevans, eller hva @ARCHAEOfelix ?dn.no/forskningviser-at-/gre…

Ble Greta Thunberg snytt for fredsprisen?

Det er ingen enkel og opplagt sammenheng mellom klimaendringer og konflikt. Det bør Nobelkomiteen merke seg.

Fryktar klimaendringane øydelegg viktig historie

GISKE (NRK): Under overflata langs kysten ligg historier som ventar på å bli fortalde, men klimaendringane fører til at det blir vaska vekk. Og det skjer i rekordfart.

Humbled by the mountain. So close but yet a failled attempt at my nemesis Istinden/Nordfjellet. Way too ambitious as winter is already here. 30 cm snow, heavy drift and whiteout on the glacier. instagram.com/p/B2v9Im1hOhd/…
