About :
In Uppåkra, a few kilometers south of Lund in Skåne, is one of the most rich and interesting archaeological settlements in the entire Nordic region. In a place as big as Gamla Stan in Stockholm or Lund's medieval city center, there was an estate in Uppåkra during the Iron Age, from about 100 years before the birth of Christ until the 11th century AD. But how can we know what is under the ground in Uppåkra - and what happens to an object after an archaeological excavation? In this film you get to meet four experts who tell you more about this. First, Maria gets to meet archeology student Björn. He tells about how an excavation is done and about what they have found in Uppåkra during the latest excavation. Björn shows Maria how archaeologists can know how old something is, but also how to know what something is. During the excavation, Björn talks about a house that has been found. What can the house teach us about the people who lived in Uppåkra? And do you really wash soil...? After an archaeological excavation, we need to take care of the findings found. These can tell us more about the people who lived in Uppåkra during the Iron Age - but what do they tell us? Maria meets Mats, who is a professor of archaeology, and he tells us more about the finds, but also about all the houses that are underground. In order for us to learn more about the finds, they need to be cleaned by a conservator. But what exactly is a conservator? Once an object has been found and cleaned, it can be displayed in the museum, but before that, the antiquarian Olle will show us around the museum's warehouse. Here you can find items from almost all of Scania. Why aren't they all displayed at the museum? Once in the museum, Olle shows some of the most exciting objects from Uppåkra and tells about everything from the blacksmith Völund to why you should wear pigs on your helmet. The film has been created by the History Museum at Lund University together with the ArchaeoBalt project.
