I'm proud to announce that Fornvännen, Journal of Swedish Antiquarian Research, is now up to speed on the Open Access side. Our excellent librarian and information jockey Gun Larsson has just put the third and fourth issues for last year on-line. Fornvännen appears on-line for free with a six-month delay (due to concerns that the on-line version might otherwise undermine the print version). In the two most recent issues on-line, you can read new research on:
- An Early Mesolithic settlement site in wooded Värmland.
- A carved stone in a Bohuslän crofter's cellar that may be a Neolithic stele.
- Long-term traditions in prehistoric Scandinavian ship-building.
- Stable isotope analyses of skeletons from one of Northern Sweden's first Christian cemeteries.
- A previously unknown runic inscription about a Viking Period traveller to Eastern Europe.
- Excavations at Swedish and English assembly sites.
- 17th century stone memorials recalling the rune stones of the 11th century.
- Kuhnian Huns.
- The baptism of the first King of Sweden.
- 4th century gold from Ãstergötland.

Another career whine.
Applying for academic jobs that are invariably given to people who are much older than me, I've come across a frustrating conundrum.
Today is my tenth anniversary as one of the academic archaeology journal Fornvännen's editors. While I was an undergrad my teacher Bo Petré encouraged me to subscribe from 1991 on, and I started contributing to the journal in 1994.
Kuhnian Huns
Martin, you are a wicked, wicked man... :D
Never change!
