This richly illustrated book presents a selection of the rich and varied iconographic material from the Scandinavian Late Iron Age (AD 400-1050) depicting clothed human figures, from an archaeological textile and clothing perspective. The source material consists of five object categories: gold foils, gold bracteates, helmet plaques, jewelry, and textile tapestries and comprises over 1000 different images of male and female costumes which are then systematically examined in conjunction with our present knowledge of archaeological textiles. In particular, the study explores the question of whether the selected images complement the archaeological clothing sources, through a new analytical too...
He's not a double agent.Everyone just thinks he is.Agent Six of Hearts, a sixteen-year-old superhuman, is in serious trouble. The Deck -- the team of special agents who employ him -- thinks he's gone rogue. Kyntak, his twin brother, has been captured by an unknown enemy. And a very strange and lethal girl is shadowing Six's every move.Who can Six trust? The Queen of Spades is after him. The King of Hearts seems unable to help. And the rest of the Deck is being turned against him.There's only one answer: Six must go solo. He must treat everyone as a threat -- and he must grab every opportunity he has to track down Kyntak, even when they come from some potentially deadly sources.As he did in The Lab, author Jack Heath starts with a bang and doesn't ever slow down as he gives us an agent on the brink of destruction and the edge of his life.
Ting taler til os. Desværre kan vi ikke altid finde ud af at lytte til deres historier. Den kunst mestrer bidragyderne, som tæller arkæologer, konservatorer, kunsthistorikere og historikere i Tings tale heldigvis, og de kan derfor give tingene en stemme. I dette nummer vækkes følgende genstande til live: Muleposen Farver på kældervæggene i det tidligere Statsfængsel i Horsens Geigertælleren Tre guldaldermalerier af Jørgen Sonne Tenvægte af ler Astrid Noacks skulptur ”Sovende barn” Kolding under pestudbruddet i 1654
Forsiden af Kuml 2022 prydes af en jernlænke, som arkæologer fra Museet Sønderskov udgravede i 2021 på en mark udenfor landsbyen Fæsted i Sønderjylland. Det usædvanlige fund var på Slots- og Kulturstyrelsens top-10-liste over årets vigtigste arkæologiske fund og er måske et bevis på, at Romerriget har hentet slaver i det såkaldte Barbaricum. I årbogen kan du læse resultaterne fra undersøgelserne af den mulige slavelænke sammen med fem andre spændende artikler om dansk og nordeuropæisk arkæologi. Kuml 2022 indeholder også anmeldelser af væsentlige arkæologiske udgivelser.

"Already in Greek and Roman antiquity a vibrant series of exchange relationships existed between the Mediterranean regions and China, including the Indian subcontinents along well-defined routes we call the Silk Roads. Among the many goods that found their way from East to West and vice versa were glass, wine, spices, metals like iron, precious stones as well as textile raw materials and fabrics and silk, a luxury item that was in great demand in the Roman Empire. These collected papers connect research from different areas and disciplines dealing with exchange along the Silk Roads. These historical, philological and archaeological contributions highlight silk as a commodity, gift and tribut...
