Here's something neat. Annika and Bengtowe Angare are photographers and digital retouch artists (check out their site and hover your cursor over each picture!). They've photographed the early-16th century sword I found at Djurhamn in 2007 and stuck it point first into the find spot on a vintage map of Djurö!
This post is timely as I have a short talk scheduled for tonight about my work at Djurhamn. Wish me luck!

Luck? What about the old Viking saying "A man armed with a mighty sword makes his own luck"? I was going to ask if there'd be a recording, but realised it will be in Swedish. Go there and slay them (metaphorically speaking).
I am going to give them all the Little Death with the sweetness of my tongue.
Make sure you dress sharp and stick to the point....
I'm ashamed that I have no witty remarks nor advice to offer about the talk, but I am grateful to the link to the web page. Their work is lovely!
