Physics 1958-2008

Archaeology 2008-2023

After my retirement as a professor in physics at the Niels Bohr Institute 2008, I have finished a BA degree (2011) and a MA degree (2013) both in prehistoric archaeology at University of Copenhagen. This has given me lots of knowledge and inspiration to intervene in various archaeological projects. Much study effort the first 4 semester was a coverage of prehistoric archaeology in all parts of Denmark.

To study many localities in Denmark and abroad I used the Google maps to s study in detail the many archaeological places we were taughtt, but it also led me to many potential places for new archaeological sites. Th us I found reminiscence of a ring castle in southern Skåne at Foteviken. Already in 2008 I made a publication on my homepage about my findings (). The finding was supported by Hartmann's Foundation. The interpretation of the exact circle became my BA thesis. A more detailed study of the finding (and the nearby, but removed church) is still to be written as a longer article. In connection with this finding is the discovery by Crumlin-Pedersen of 5 vikingshibs forming a barrier at the intrance to Foteviken. A topic which has also taken my interest.

In the summer 2009 I was lucky enough to have my 1 month "seminargravning" at Gl. Lejre, where Tom Christensen from Roskilde Museum was excavating 3 big viking halls (one being 62 m long). I learned a lot about excavation technique in Gl. Lejre and wrote an informal Photobook about the experiences.

Dating foundation of the Olduvai Culture

For palaeolithic findings the time for the production of artifacts and for the life of the hominids is of paramount importance. Beyond 40.000 years before present (BP) the C-14 method is useless. I review the dating methods for the oldest hominid findings, the Oldowai Culture ~2.6-1.8 million years BPin the enclosed article (Oldowankulturens dateringsgrundlag).

Homo erectus

The evolution of homonids have occurred in steps separated by long periods with no detectable changes. The most extreme case is the stand-still in development between 1.8 and 0,8 mill.yers ago, where Homo erectus w hardly changed and their stone technology also did hardly change. After this long stable situation thing developed faster with species as Homo heidelbergensis, Homo neanderthalis, Homo sapiens and many more. In a short article (Homo erectus), I sketch this development.

Palaeolithics at Mata Menge, Flores, Indonesia

Since the discovery of Homo floresiensis in the Liang Bua Cave in 2004, there has been an intensive search for stone artifacts and fossils. Recently Gert van den Bergh et al. (2016) have found the first palaeolithic human fossils on Flores outside the Liang Bua Cave (se "Homo floresiensis" og nogle af dets mange problemer: Arkæologiske, Kronologiske, Evolutionære, Teknologiske og Levevis). In my thesis from 2013 at University of Copenhagen (part1, part 2, part 3, part 4) I have described the excavation, in which I participated in 2011 at Mata Menge and the determined dating of the stone artifacts and the animal fossils found. The life as an archaeological excavator at Mata Menge has been described in the Photobook "Jagten på Homo floresiensis' forfædre" (2011).

Copenhagen University Neutron and X-ray Techniques (CoNeXT)

CoNeXT was a University of Copenhagen interfaculty collaborative project.
Fertilizing the ground and harvesting the full potential of the new neutron and X-ray research infrastructures close to Copenhagen University.
The project was supported for the period 2013-2016 by 27.9 mio DKK by UCPH2016 programme of Excellence. CoNeXT acronym comes from (Co(penhagen University Ne(utron and) X-(ray) T(echniques).

THE PROJECT IS CLOSED
Project period: 2013-2016
