Tephrochronology has not yet been applied to archaeological investigations in Norway because tephra are generally not found as visible layers, but are present as very low concentrations of glass shards (i.e. cryptotephra). In this study, we present results from the analysis of cryptotephras found in an Iron Age boathouse in northern Norway. The boathouse was associated with the chieftain center at Borg on Vestvågøy in the Lofoten Islands. In 2003, a trench was excavated and the stratigraphy of the boathouse was described. Radiocarbon ages from cultural deposits show that it was constructed in the Early Iron Age c. AD 540e660 and the main period of use was at the end of the Iron Age between c. AD 1030 and AD 1270. Volcanic glass shards were isolated from sediment samples collected above and below the cultural deposit representing the main period of use. Electron microprobe analysis of the glass shards showed that the lower sample resembles the AD 860 Layer B tephra and the upper sample resembles tephra erupted from the Hekla volcanic system between AD 1104 and AD 1300. These tephrochronologic dates agree with the radiocarbon-derived dates and possibly further constrain the boathouse's main period of use to c. AD 1030e1104. Our results demonstrate the value of using tephrochronology for archaeological studies in Norway and the potential for finding cryptotephra from other large explosive volcanic eruptions during the Iron Age.

How is it possible to enhance the conditions for experimental archaeology so that it can also develop as a humanistic area of research, more closely related to existential perspectives of human life? We argue for the integration of technical, sensory and emotional understandings of the past, so that the notion of being a human in a long-term perspective can be included in the concept of experimental archaeology. A humanistic experimental archaeology is achieved by the development of new methods such as conscious use of anachronisms, renewal of techniques for documenting and communicating experiments, and use of the human body and senses as an experimental field. The success of this approach is dependent upon cooperation between archaeological open-air museums and sites conducting experimental archaeology, and archaeological departments at universities that are willing to maintain, develop and renew research and education in the direction of a humanistic experimental archaeology.

The unexpected is to be expected in every experiment, and the relevance to archaeology is demonstrated by five examples from Lofotr Viking Museum during the last four years. The conclusions are placed along the axis of factual, probable and conceivable interpretations relevant to the past. The examples range from controlled to contextual and may even be questioned as experimental archaeology by some.
