In the next two days a filmcrew from ORF and Interspot Film is going to shoot on our excavation site. They are currently filming for the (austrian) documentation series Universum History on an international special about the Viking Age slave trade. The working title for the documentation is “Victims of the Vikings” and is going to be released in 2020.

Planning the next step

Julie and Marco are happy with their cooking pit

Sieving and searching for bones

At our site they are filming the whole excavation process, from the first scratch to the final documentation with the 3D laser scanner and photography. The main piece in the filming process is the excavation of the cooking pit in the northern part of our site, which is excavated by Julie and Marco. The pit contained a lot of charcoal and stones and we found many small animal bones in it. Because of the tiny parts we had to sieve the whole earth we took out of the pit.
