The site of Gullskoen is one of the main excavated areas in the medieval town of Bryggen. Data was collected from this site to conduct analysis of strontium isotopes, along with some modern Norwegian wool samples. This material was sampled by the staff of the Bryggen museum as this was during the COVID-19 pandemic and samples were sent to Isobar laboratories in Florida (who were not very familiar with the extraction of sr from wool). This project along with material from Trondheim, Borgund and other sites in the vicinity are part of on going research on the role of trade and nature of trade in Western Norway in the medieval period.

This material was part of 1733914 “Archaeological Investigations of the Eastern North Atlantic Trade and Globalizing Economic Systems”. The Project: Archaeological Investigations of the Eastern North Atlantic Trade and Globalizing Economic Systems (Award ...
