Patreon Crowdcast with Coin Expert Dr. Helle Horsnæs! (Patreon)

(I am posting about this a little bit earlier in advance than I normally do, because the next week and a half or so will be so crowded with events and visits related to the upcoming book release on October 20th that I am trying to get ahead of anything I would normally do in that time window.)

I've been in touch with numerous scholars in Denmark who are working on the new find from Vindelev, one of the most significant Scandinavian archaeological finds in a long time, and slowly I'm managing to arrange Crowdcast conversations with people who have different kinds of expertise touching on it for you. 

Our first guest in this series is Dr. Helle Horsnæs of the National Museum of Denmark, who is an expert on Roman coins in Scandinavian finds (many of which were discovered in the Vindelev find). These coins tell fascinating stories about the contacts of pre-Viking Age Scandinavia with the wider world, and also have a long and twisted history of use within early Scandinavia itself. This will be a spectacular opportunity to find out more about a little-known but extremely impactful part of archaeology in Denmark and beyond!

If you're interested in some reading on the subject beforehand, Dr. Horsnæs recommends this paper by Aleksander Bursche, and you can find a number of papers on intriguing Iron Age finds on her own academia.edu page as well. 

I hope you'll be able to join us in about two weeks--this Crowdcast will be live for your questions on Thursday, October 28th, at 9:00 a.m. U.S. Mountain time (the start time ought to display in your local timezone at that registration link).

Thank you as always for your kind support, and all the best for now,

Jackson Crawford
