Really happy to see this paper finally out with Boel Bengtsson et al. We used ABM to simulate maritime contacts between Norway and Denmark, comparing direct sea crossings to coastal voyaging during the Nordic Bronze Age! journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Seafaring and navigation in the Nordic Bronze Age: The application of an ocean voyage tool and boat performance data for comparing direct open water crossings with sheltered coastal routes

This study presents an “ocean voyaging tool” that combines predicted vessel performance data with agent-based simulations. This tool offers a new way to assess navigation and seafaring abilities in pr...

Some great news today, we have received 12 million NOK from NFR for our project "Social Complexity and Population Entanglements in Norway 2500-1000 BCE" www.forskningsradet.no/nyheter/2024...

164 millioner kroner til nye FRIPRO-prosjekter

I dag får 17 nye prosjekter tildelt midler fra FRIPRO. Fellesnevneren for prosjektene er at de holder høy vitenskapelig kvalitet og har stort potensial for å flytte forskningsfronten på sine felt.
