The papers published here were given at a workshop arranged by the NTNU University Museum in Trondheim on 12–13 March 2015. The workshop was supported by grants from Norges forskningsråd (Norwegian Research Council) and was part of the research project “Utmark” (“Outfield”) that was carried out jointly by the Norwegian university museums. At this workshop, researchers, heritage officials and scholars from Norway, Sweden and Denmark presented their work on ways of locating and investigating prehistoric iron production sites in Scandinavia using lidar or geophysical methods.

  • Geographic Variation and Temporal Trends in Ice Phenology in Norwegian Lakes During the Period 2 1890-2020
    1 Geographic variation and temporal trends in ice phenology in Norwegian lakes during the period 2 1890-2020 3 4 Jan Henning L’Abée-Lund1, Leif Asbjørn Vøllestad2, John Edward Brittain1,3, Ånund Sigurd Kvambekk1 5 and Tord Solvang1 6 7 1 Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate, Box 5091 Majorstuen, N-0301 Oslo, Norway 8 2 Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis, University of Oslo, Box 1066 Blindern, N-0316 9 Oslo, Norway 10 3 Natural History Museum, University of Oslo, Box 1072 Blindern, N-0316 Oslo, Norway 11 12 13 Correspondence to: Jan Henning L’Abée-Lund ([email protected]) 14 1 15 Abstract 16 Long-term observations of ice phenology in lakes are ideal for studying climatic variation in time and 17 space. We used a large set of observations from 1890 to 2020 of the timing of freeze-up and break- 18 up, and the length of ice-free season, for 101 Norwegian lakes to elucidate variation in ice phenology 19 across time and space. The dataset of Norwegian lakes is unusual, covering considerable variation in 20 elevation (4 – 1401 m a.s.l.) and climate (from oceanic to continental) within a substantial latitudinal 21 and longitudinal gradient (58.2 – 69.9 N; 4.9 – 30.2 E). 22 The average date of ice break-up occurred later in spring with increasing elevation, latitude and 23 longitude. The average date of freeze-up and the length of the ice-free period decreased significantly 24 with elevation and longitude. No correlation with distance from the ocean was detected, although 25 the geographical gradients were related to regional climate due to adiabatic processes (elevation), 26 radiation (latitude) and the degree of continentality (longitude).

  • Iron, Steel and Swords Script
    Iron Ores General Remarks This planet consists of iron (32.1%), oxygen (30.1%), silicon (15.1%), magnesium (13.9%), sulfur (2.9%), nickel (1.8%), calcium (1.5%), and aluminium (1.4%); the remaining 1.2% are "trace amounts" of the 80 or so remaining elements. Most of that iron constitutes the core of the planet but we will not run out of iron compounds or iron ore found near to the surface for some time to come. Why is iron so prominent in this (and other) planet ? Because planets were formed from the stuff bred inside the first stars. The reaction chain for generating energy by nuclear fusion starts with hydrogen and stops after iron has been bred. Iron, if you like, is the ash eventually produced by fusing hydrogen to helium, helium and hydrogen to lithium, and so on. When those first stars "burnt out" after a few billon years, some of them coughed up their ashes in a mighty supernova explosion. In time, new stars were formed. Some of these are still burning and visible at night. One (our very own sund) is only visible during the day from a clumped-together iron-rich ash ball called earth. Advanced From the viewpoint of chemistry, iron (like copper) is a tricky element that can form many oxides, sulfides, carbonates, and so on. All these compounds could be used for smelting iron but some are better for that purpose than others. Sulfides are usually bad news. We know that from smelting copper and expect similar problems when smelting iron.

  • Iron Making in Argyll
    HISTORIC ARGYLL 2009 Iron smelting in Argyll, and the chemistry of the process by Julian Overnell, Kilmore. The history of local iron making, particularly the history of the Bonawe Furnace, is well described in the Historic Scotland publication of Tabraham (2008), and references therein. However, the chemistry of the processes used is not well described, and I hope to redress this here. The iron age started near the beginning of the first millennium BC, and by the end of the first millennium BC sufficient iron was being produced to equip thousands of troops in the Roman army with swords, spears, shovels etc. By then, local iron making was widely distributed around the globe; both local wood for making charcoal, and (in contrast to bronze making) local sources of ore were widely available. The most widely distributed ore was “bog iron ore”. This ore was, and still is, being produced in the following way: Vegetation in stagnant water starts to rot and soon uses up all the available oxygen, and so produces a water at the bottom with no oxygen (anaerobic) which also contains dissolved organic compounds. This solution is capable of slowly leaching iron from the soils beneath to produce a weak solution of dissolved iron (iron in the reduced, ferrous form). Under favourable conditions this solution percolates down until it meets some oxygen (or oxygenated water) at which point the iron precipitates (as the oxidized ferric form). This is bog iron ore and comprises a somewhat ill-defined brown compound called limonite (FeOOH.nH2O), often still associated with particles of sand etc.
