Recent years have seen a swathe of new museums and heritage centres – including the Moesgaard Museum, Denmark and the Museum of Montegrotto Terme, Italy – opening and exploring aspects of Europe's past through a rich diversity of both sites and finds. In this session, the third in a series, we want to focus on the role of archaeological museums in shaping the historical context of a nation's identity and how the reflexes around new heritage and greater public engagement are/should be captured in museum spaces. Museum professionals are increasingly experimenting with ways that public debate can be facilitated, to help give people space to consider and reframe their thoughts about a multiplicity of issues. Who is to set the agenda in a time where visitor numbers are crucial to museum survival? How do we navigate between what the public wants to hear, and what we think they need to hear? What stories do we want to tell the public, and how do we want to tell them? For this session we want to encourage a Europe‐wide response from a cross‐section of recent projects. We want to hear about successes, failures and plans for the future to promote an holistic understanding. We also want to consider how the future might look for this critical practice that creates a space where science, curation and citizen engagement interact. We want to explore scale, diversity, purpose, financing, community engagement, local vs tourism and archaeological value through case studies as well as thematic papers. The session is associated with MERC For additional questions please contact Jette Linaa at jl@moesgaardmuseum.dk or Mark Hall at marcus.antonius@virgin.net For registration visit https://eaa.klinkhamergroup.com/eaa2018/ until 15.02.18

The aim of this paper is to give an overview of integration, segregation and assimilation of migrants in the Early Modern town on the basis of historical and archaeological sources. Elsinore at the Sound hosted the largest diasporic community in the kingdom of Denmark and Norway. The migration was partly a political project, but the Danes in the city remained hostile. The sources are the archaeological evidence, mainly built remains and artefacts as well as ecofacts and zoological remains, combined with cartographic evidence and written sources such as tax lists, inventories of deceased estates and court records. The specifics of the diaspora communities in Elsinore, Aalborg, Aarhus and Nya Lödöse are studied within the framework of the Urban Diaspora project.

„Arkæologen må risikere sorte negle“ – Sådan skrev museumsinspektør ved Aalborg Historiske Museum, Peter Riismøller, i det lille jubilæumsskrift „Urene kilder. Et fund af husgeråd fra renæssancetid“, der udkom i 1963. Her præsenterede Riismøller i ord og billeder fund fra museets udgravninger af latrinkasser og affaldsgruber fra renæssancens Aalborg. Blandt de omtalte latriner var også biskoppens latrin, der blev udgravet i forbindelse med nedrivningen af Aalborgs eftermiddelalderlige bispegård i 1937. Omtrent 80 år efter fundet, i 2016, fik vi mulighed for at udføre en tværvidenskabelig undersøgelse af dette latrin og dets indhold. Denne undersøgelse har bidraget med ny viden om fødevarer, forbrug og internationale kontakter i en af 1600-tallets største danske købstæder.

Denne artikel er baseret på en udgravning af middelalderlige latrinkonstruktioner, men den handler hverken om konstruktion eller kostundersøgelser: den handler om hvordan en kosmologi kan fremlæses i et arkæologisk materiale. I artiklen foreslår jeg en mentalt/kosmologisk forankret læsning af en speci k organisering af latrinkonstruktioner i forhold til både matrikelgrænser og de beboelses- og andre huse, der blev konstrueret på matriklerne i det urbane landskab. Jeg ønsker dermed at åbne op for en bredere indsigt i mulige måder at opfatte og begrunde sammen ltringen af mentale forestillinger, materialitet og intentioner i etablingen af en særlig, højmiddelalderlig urban praksis. Dermed søger jeg at begrunde og uddybe den nærmere betydning af konstitueringen af en særlig middelalderlig urban praksis.

[ Synopsis ] Medieval perceptions of the senses have been dealt with previously in great detail by numerous other authors, but in the context of the present volume the aim of this chapter is to focus on the medieval practise of sensory media and per-ceptual mediation. The chapter addresses the sensorial activity of consumption and how this was embedded in the senses and transmitted through a range of media inside and outside the church. It is argued that the paradigmatic model of perception constituted by the integration of senses and media was the same both inside and outside the physical boundaries of the church, leading to the construction of one world of perception to be expressed in real and ritual meals across the medieval world. In every church and village, monastery and manor, actual or ritualised con-sumption of food and drink constituted a centre for transformation, incarnation, em-bodiment, and negotiation, constantly fluctuating between excess and restraint, glut-tony and abstinence. At the very foundation of this consumption were, of course, the senses and especially the sense of taste – gustus.

The aim of this paper is to emphasise the many steps on the scale between free craftspersons and unfree thrallsby drawing new conclusions from a remarkable structure: a workshop, dated 1018-1024, which came to light through an equally remarkable research initiative: The Viborg Søndersø 2001-project. The workshop in Viborg clearly demonstrated that production was undertaken on a short-term, seasonal basis, and as such the conclusion that the craftworker was a free, itinerant powerful, actor is appealing. However, other traits in the material point in a quite different direction, and this paper is an attempt to shed light on this contradiction. T What we found was a human sweeping floors and carrying buckets of refuse, throwing a particularly large and annoying piece of waste into the latrine, and walking through the refuse with tiny fragments of antler waste sticking to muddy feet. We found the hut, the insects, the growth and the waste, and through this we are now able to imagine the smell, the mud and the cold. We do not have a name, but unknowingly the craftsperson left a mark for us to read in the wear on his tools, in the traces of a fine-toothed saw on the burrs and in hundreds of thousands of tiny antler chips: signs of a meticulous workmanship. This human seems to have been able to exert little control over either work or workshop and, consequently, the lack of power is striking. Now, a thousand years later there is great satisfaction and not a little irony in the combined efforts of numerous scientists and researchers being able to place this humble human very securely in the spotlight; a spotlight he probably never enjoyed while living.

Nr. three in my serie of papers on aristocratic consumption. (The others are the paper on Hjelm (2004) and Tønderhus (2005). A comparision of the consumption on the 14th century danish castles Tønderhus, Brink and Hjelm based on archaeology, written sources and science. Unfortunately published in Danish with no english abstract, but as notling like it has been published in Denmark and there is quite a few illustrations, so it might be worth your time.

Next to Copenhagen, Elsinore was the richest and most internationally oriented Cosmopol in Early Modern Denmark. Through the second half of the 16th century the number of foreighners: Scots, Germans and Dutchmen, grew rapidly, untill about one third of the citizens were born outside the Danish realm. This shift in demography threatened the power-balance and community in the city, and more so, as especially the Dutch immigrants proved to be far superior to native counterparts with regards to business prospects. This article puts forward examples of the way, in which a wealthy Dutchman socialised his world.

Paper from "The Viborg Søndersø 1018-1030" publication on the excavation of a craftsmans workshop, functioning 1020-1025: an incredibly narrow date. The cross-disciplinary volume with its many papers is much more interesting than the titel suggests and a veritable catalogue of approaches to an archaeological excavation. I consider that volume a must-read for anyone working with crafts in Viking- and Early Medieval Northern Europe. For some reason the volume has not had quite the impact I think it deserves. One of the sites I keep coming back to.

A paper on aristocratic consumption, nr. two in my series of papers on the subject (The others are the paper on Tønderhus (2005) and the one in Danish History of Food 4 (2014) . The castles on Hjelm were constructed in 1293 and conquered and demolished in 1310. The very narrow dating and the fact that these artefacts were used by men who killed king Erik Glipping in one of the most mysterious and dramatic chain of events in Danish history makes this paper on the ceramics from the site a must for anyone with interest in aristocratic consumption or presicely dated ceramics. Its in Dansh, one of my early works and the illustrations are not top-notch (my fault), but given that no-one other than me has ever worked on the ceramics from this site it might bbe worth a read. Written after the publication of the volume on the National Museum project "Marsk Stig og de fredløse å Hjelm (red. Pauline Asingh & Nils Engberg, Højbjerg 2002- I owe great thanks to Pauline Ashigh and Nils Engberg for allowing me access to the ceramics and for letting me publish the results.

This is a book about urban consumption. Much has already been written about the archaeology of towns based on the town as place with its structures and institutions: A place where fortifications were made, streets laid out, churches constructed and houses built, rebuilt and demolished, all seemingly untouched by human hands. This book has a different agenda: It is written with humans in mind.

A survey of the pottery in Jutland ( a vast region) based on 80 archaeological sites + a large reference material. This methodological study covers a groundbreaking way of establishing both a valid chronology and an extensive consumption study through a vast region.The book also covers the historical context and the use and meaning of ceramics. Danish Language with extensive summary in English. Iinnovative at the time it was written. A collegue called the study "undetailed" due to the vast area it covers, but that is completely beside the point: Readers are encouraged to remember, that the point of the volume is the establishing of a methodology which includes the introduction of multivariate analysis in Danish medieval archaeology.
