Summary:Archaeological Textiles Data from the Borgund Kaupang project- Borgund Norway. This data belongs to the University of Bergen and the Norwegian government. They do not give authorization to upload any recorded data until the material is published, their project terminated and on the National Norwegian databases. This has been cleared with Erica Hill at Arctic Social Sciences. The material will be made available once available on National Norwegian databases. This scientific investigation will employ a mixed methodology to document and analyze textile collections from rural and urban, North Atlantic and European contexts. Accelerated mass spectrometry (AMS), dye and material analyses, strontium isotope analyses, and X-Ray Fluorescence will be employed to further characterize North Atlantic collections and compare them to previously collected data assemblages. Strontium isotope analyses and portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) data of archaeological samples and modern wool will be carried out in order to map ...
