The results presented here have been gathered at Tybrind Vig by surveying a 165 m-long transect at 5-metre intervals from the shore, by measurements taken with a total station. To supplement this, the surrounding area was surveyed with an echo sounder/sonar unit that yielded 3D coordinates post-processed in GIS to investigate volumetric changes in the seabed over time. The transect data was used to calibrate the elevation data from the echo sounder, following the correction of sea level change with data gathered from the Danish Coastal Authority. It was established that sediment transport-both erosion and accumulation-has occurred, but from the methods used, it cannot be determined how much of the archaeologically rich gyttja layers have been eroded at Tybrind Vig.

During this time (c. 750 to 1050 CE), the Vikings reached most of western Eurasia, Greenland, and North America, and left a cultural legacy that persists till today. To understand the genetic structure and influence of the Viking expansion, we sequenced the genomes of 442 ancient humans from across Europe and Greenland ranging from the Bronze Age (c. 2400 BC) to the early Modern period (c. 1600 CE), with particular emphasis on the Viking Age. We find that the period preceding the Viking Age was accompanied by foreign gene flow into Scandinavia from the south and east: spreading from Denmark and eastern Sweden to the rest of Scandinavia. Despite the close linguistic similarities of modern Scandinavian languages, we observe genetic structure within Scandinavia, suggesting that regional population differences were already ...

Recreational divers frequently take part in the operations, particularly where these can be undertaken using basic scuba-gear and minimal specialist equipment. The chapter focuses on methods for identifying early prehistoric localities under water. We introduce the basic principles for the sampling and small-scale excavation of sites located in near-shore, shallow waters. Considerations are also given to more technical approaches, including remotely operated equipment for surveying and trial excavation without divers.

Han levede et langt og farverigt liv fra sin fødsel i 1863 til sin død i 1955. Winther grundlagde langelands Museum og udgravede en perlerække af øens fortidsminder - dysser, jættestuer, bronzealderhøje og vikingetidsgravpladser med flotte fund og af stor arkæologisk værdi. Ved sin side havde han sin trofaste husholderske og udgraver frk. Hornum, og sammen udgravede de øens arkæologiske skatte.
Jens Winther havde intens kontakt med den store verden om arkæologien, og fagets koryfæer kom hos Winther på Lnageland. Bogen fortæller også hvordan en hel generation af danske arkæologer lærte at udgrave hos Winther i Rudkøbing.

How can natural and cultural values be a resource for sustainable development in the Nordic count... more How can natural and cultural values be a resource for sustainable development in the Nordic countries? That is the question the Nordic Blue Parks project has tried to answer by providing case-studies of regional and local success stories, thereby assessing the possible synergistic effects of cross-sectoral working with both nature- and cultural heritage bodies. The project therefore highlights examples where a combination of natural and cultural heritage has been the foundation of social, economic and environmentally sound development. The project concentrates on three themes: nature and cultural heritage tourism, business development and a good living environment.
The Nordic Blue Parks project provides guidelines for national and re-gional authorities for setting up underwater natural and cultural underwater trails, according to the principles of sustainable development. This project, in encouraging people to be active outdoors, promotes an enriched outdoor life, while facilitating access to Nordic natural and cultural heritage through nature tourism and increases understanding of the efforts and behavioural changes required for this development to be sustainable.
The environmental sector in the Nordic Council of Ministers has expressed its priorities in a new Environmental Action Plan for 2009–2012. One of these priorities involves cooperation to help implement the European Landscape Convention. Another priority is to increase the knowledge of and make visible the significance of landscapes and cultural heritage for a good quality of life. It is the task of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Working group on Terrestrial Ecosystems to follow up these priorities.
Furthermore, the Working Group has initiated or contributed to several projects dealing with landscape, cultural heritage and the inter-linkages be-tween them. This project aims to provide guidelines for national and regional authorities for setting up underwater natural and cultural trails according to the principles of sustainable development, i.e. by integrating these guidelines into policy and decision-making as stated in the general advice in the Strategy (TemaNord 2004: 568).
