Searching for Articles

By default, the “Articles” tab displays posts in descending order starting with the most recent. To find articles on a specific subject, you can use the search bar, which can be accessed at the bottom of every page.

Articles are tagged with commonly-used names of the bodies being referenced (“Windeby I”; “Pete Marsh”; “Grauballe Man”) and their country of origin, museums that currently display them or have displayed them in the past (“The British Museum”; “Schloss Gottorf”; “Museum Silkeborg”), topics discussed (“display”; “preservation”; “ethics”), the type of article (“introduction”; “case study”; “museum visit”), and type of media (“video”; “picture”; “text”). You can search for more than one term at a time, e.g., “Lindow II case study” or “Denmark museum visit video.”

Accessing Sources

A full list of sources used can be found under the bibliography tab. Many of these include the link where they were originally downloaded, but some of the articles referenced were emailed to me directly or behind a paywall. There are also a handful of physical books referenced, which were purchased used for $10-$20 (if you are looking for any of the books listed, I recommend www.abebooks.com and www.thriftbooks.com).

Sources specific to each article will be included in [brackets] where a footnote would normally be at the end of the relevant sentence or paragraph. For sources with known authors, I’ve included the last name of the first listed author as well as the date published, e.g., [Miller 2023]. Sources without a known author are identified by the article or page title in quotes, e.g., [“How to Use This Blog”]. These can be checked against the bibliography to find the full meta data (publication, page number, URL).

Additionally, some minor sources are linked directly in-article. This is usually done for sources that are relevant to a sentence or two but not relevant to the project as a whole.
