  3. Writing truckloads of papers on colourful subjects in an accessible style in the top academic journals for Northern European #archaeology will not get you a job. Nor even any sign of interest from other scholars.

    34 years into my career, the metal detector hobbyists and my tabletop gaming group have proved way more interested in whether I live or die than any Scandinavian university.

    I'm proud of what I've achieved, and I don't care whether they all get defunded.

    This is definitely a wow! A beautifully preserved folding chair was excavated from a Stone Age burial mound in Souther Jutland in 1891. Made around 1400 BCE, it had an otter skin seat, of which only fragments of it remained. But the wooden part made from ash had geometric designs carved in to it and inlaid with a black 'tar'. The grave showed the high status of the man, as he was buried with a number of 'wealthy' possessions. livescience.com/archaeology/gu
