This week our podcast (Arkeologi på rappen) joined ‘Helleristningsjegerne’ on a #rockart hunt, as part off series on upcoming series on citizen science. These three friends have doubled Østfold's known sites from 500 to 1,000+. As published in our journal a few years back: doi.org/10.5617/pt.9...

Did you know Norway has 461 registered hillforts? That’s about 1/3 of Sweden’s total. Among these ~1,750 sites, variation is huge, hence so many hypotheses. But they are often visited by hikers, so perhaps citizen science can deepen our understanding? #HillfortWednesday doi.org/10.5617/pt.1...

A view from the Tjuvkil hillfort in Lycke, Västra Götaland, Sweden. It is 45 m above sea level in a forest. It is 440 by 200 m in size on the hilltop. It is a typical Iron Age constructionwith stone walls with associated nearby remains such as stone settings and settlements. #HillfortsWednesday

We've just published this year’s issue online! It contains articles that challenge established methods in #archaeology and show how new approaches, perspectives, and actors can expand data and interpretations, while also stressing the need for clear frameworks for collaboration journals.uio.no/PT

Arkeologi leverer stadig banebrytende ny forskning, men gjør det den eldre irrelevante i dag? Vi utforske dette i vår nye serie "Klassikeren". Først ut er Håkon Glørstads anmeldelse av Håkon Sheteligs "Primitive tider i Norge" doi.org/10.5617/pt.1... Årets nummer er på trappene! Hva blir neste?

Har du ledet en spennende utgravning, en magasingjennomgang eller en utredning som kan interessere fagmiljøet, men har ikke mulig å omgjør dette til en full artikkel? Send det som en rapport til PT innen 1. september! Arbeidet fagfellevurderes ikke, men gjennomgår grundig redaksjonell vurdering.

We're thrilled to see the growth of OA publications! 📈 If you want to share your work openly and without any charges, consider publishing with us. As demonstrated in the study, while progress is being made in OA publishing, there’s still a way to go. Let's advance archaeology together!

Want to learn more about OA publishing in archaeology? Our paper on publishing trends among Norwegian archaeologists is now published. OA publications are increasing, but there’s still a way to go. On the positive side, archaeology is progressing faster than other humanistic disciplines.

Extended deadline: April 22 While our primary focus is Scandinavian archaeology and contributions in Scandinavian languages are typical, we welcome submissions in English to encourage wider participation. We particularly support emerging researchers, and there are no fees for our OA publication.

Har du lyst til å publisere i nr. 27 av Primitive tider, som utgis mot slutten av 2025? Da er innleveringsfristen 1. april! Send oss ditt bidrag via journals.uio.no/PT/about/sub....
