Studentermedhjælperne skal hjælpe Professor Rubina Raja i de kollektive forskningsprojekter "Palmyra Portræt Projektet" og "Keramik i Kontekst".

Nyt studie fastslår, at mange af de danske vikinger slog sig ned i England. Ifølge ekspert kan det hjælpe os med at forstå strømmen af flygtninge til Europa.

The Viking invasion of Britain in the ninth century may have been the result of economic migration, a study has found.

As many as 35,000 Danish Vikings moved to England to start a new life between 800AD and 900AD, a new study has estimated, with the researcher likening them to economic migrants today.

P1 Eftermiddag with Professor MSO Søren M. Sindbæk (interview starts at 15:02).

Der er ikke klar genetisk evidens for danske vikingers besættelse af England, konkluderer et stort DNA-studie. Konklusionen får nu hård kritik af arkæologer, som mener, at titusindvis af danske vikinger flyttede til England.
