happy holidays!

The town of stavanger doesnt have snow... but i can see snow on far away mountain tops...so all is good! and there are gingerbreads and swedish glögg in norway, so all is good, too! i have only decorated my apartment with clementines, because im going to sweden over the holidays, so no point. Ive bought norwegian wool called "viking" to make wrist warmers for when i work.

the museum in stavanger is great, for the following reasons...

skeleton! and a very astrid lindgren house look. which is my absolute favorite. love it.

"Oh god i'm bored"-Edina Monsoon

everything. when i find a sewing machine im making a hat!

my blog has been a bit quiet.... here's a small recap of this summer..

i finished my master's thesis! very happy about that!

i went to Abisko and looked at flowers in the mountains for two weeks..

after that i went to Iceland for a week with colleagues and friends..(Sofi! remember that hot chocolate?! yeah thats what i'm talking about!)

came home, slept for one night and the day after MOVED to Norway!

while i've been settling in Norway, not quite but will soon once i move into my new apartment in november, i've not forgotten about my blog, it will continue and i'll be back soon! It's mostly archaeology for me right now in my life. it's fun though to get the time to geek out 110%. I've got all my cameras and films in Sweden but those will move to me soon! i'm between things at the moment. But it also gives me time to think of new projects and plan fun things! it's all good!

peoples cribs in scandinavia..1500 years ago..

On this gloomy sunday afternoon i visited this reconstruction of an iron age settlement, located next to the university here in Stavanger. In my job i look thru soilsamples from postholes of prehistoric buildings such as these..and identify charred plant remains from household activities. its always fun to visit reconstructions. these houses are built on top of excavated house remains.... which was extra fun!!for me!! and its nice to see all the natural materials.. instead of plastic stuff. you know? back to basics! check out ma crib yo, got all the latest iron age technology of course....
