Well, another year gone and a new one about to start. After a week (Christmas) without news on Ancient Transportation, I think it is about time to sum up on 2006 and to introduce some of my ideas of what is to come on this blog in 2007.

After only three months of Ancient Transportation the statistics on blog-activities says:

  • Posts: 15
  • Comments: 13
  • Total views: around 2200

This is probably not much for three months on the Internet, but since my topic here is relatively narrow I am satisfied so far.. after all, not much happened the first month.

In 2007 my thesis on roman wagons will be handed in (around March/April) and therefore the work on this subject, including some discussions on water-transportation, will be a major theme in the first few months. Beside my own work I will also concentrate Dejbjerg Wagons, Danish National Museum, Copenhagenmy posts on wagon-research around the world, especially in Scandinavia and Germany, where the now ongoing research on the Danish “Dejbjerg-wagons” (see photo left), a group of Celtic wagons, six in all, from more parts of Denmark, will be followed closely because they are of great interest to my own work on roman wagons.

I hope you will continue your interest in the archaeology of transportation and I also hope you will enjoy the 2007-edition of Ancient Transportation.
