Eva the sewing historianPhotos from the PhD defense last Tuesday.
My colleague Auður took the two first ones, then a selfie in the robe. And the official photo from the University of Iceland, showing the committee, bäthe supervisor the head of the viva ceremony, dr Susannah Harris from the University of Glasgow, the fresh doctor Meghan Anne Korten, and me.

The name of the thesis is "Intertwined Threads:the Value and Function of Vaðmál as Cloth and Money and Beyond"

New study in Antiquity reconstructs it. #Archaeology #BronzeAge #TextileHistory https://www.anthropology.net/p/a-bronze-age-loom-preserved-by-fire
