iʀ Wōd[i]nas weraʀ He (is) Óðin’s man The runic inscriptions on one of the Vindelev bracteates from the 5th century has been a wonderful discovery. One of them will get some attention today. videnskab.dk/forskerzonen/k… 1/9

2023 is shaping up to become a great year for sharing news on important new #runic inscriptions. Very interesting forthcoming study to look forward to, on the runic bracteate inscriptions, from #Vindelev, Denmark found in 2020. #runology Lisbeth Imer Krister Vasshus

Some more news in English, where Simon Nygaard @noharedontcare and I contribute with our knowledge nbcnews.com/news/world/nor…

I’m not saying that I have the best job in the world. I’m just saying that things could be worse 😎 Thanks Kristel Zilmer for letting us in.

Visiting Wikingermuseum Haithabu today for some 3D scanning of #runestones with Swedish colleagues. We hope to learn more about the carvers and where they came from. #runology #runes

In Jelling for a photo shoot. The kids are all right, it seems. #jelling #Vikings #runes

NY OPDAGELSE! Det er lykkedes vores skriftforsker Lisbeth Imer at tyde en mystisk indskrift på en kirkevæg. Det er et unikt (juridisk) ‘gældsbevis’ og afslører udbredt skriftkultur i middelalderen 👉 via.ritzau.dk/pressemeddelel… #dkforsk #dkkultur #runes

The academic article that Krister Vasshus and I have written about the runic bracteates from Vindelev is out.

Also interesting that the concluding r-rune in the name Siggsifr resembles the type that you would find i Greenland.

We made it to the cover of #antiquity what an honour!

This was indeed a great conference. I really love interdisciplinairy work - and being a part of it 🥰

Today I taught a runology class where we also talked about spectacular runic finds, and important considerations in communicating about and reacting to news about such finds. A few thoughts.

Dr Lisbeth Imer examining the Læborg Stone, one of several Viking-Age runestones mentioning a women named Thyra. The Thyra in question was likely a powerful Queen who played a pivotal role in the emergence of the Danish state. 🔗 from 2023 🆓 buff.ly/4fDGnIS
