Thursday 1st September 7pm
Hakon Hakonsson Lecture, Vikingar Valhalladrome auditorium
“Between the Hammer and the Anvil” presented by Dr Jim Glazzard
Using experimental archaeology to understand the lives of Viking-Age non-ferrous metalworkers of Britain and Scandinavia.
Jim will present the current state of our knowledge of these individuals, especially what we don’t know about them, and how he hopes to be able to fill in these gaps through experimental archaeology. The starting point of this project is to build a working reconstruction of a Viking-age metalworking workshop, which is already underway in York, England.
Jim is currently a PhD researcher at the University of York, where his project, Between the Hammer and the Anvil, aims to explore the lives of the non-ferrous metalworkers of Viking-age Europe.
