Some time ago,
I obtained the job by Andelko Pavlović of the
Department of Archeology of the municipal Den Haag to
look into a residue preserved on a shard from the Roman
settlement excavated at Uithofslaan, vindplaats 3. More
information about the excavation can be found on
the web site of the Department of
Archaeology.
The ceramic material was analyzed by ceramicist Julie van Kerckhove who currently works for ACVU-HBS archeological projects in Amsterdam.
The results will be published in Kenaz Rapport 7.

Last week, I
met with Dr. Norbert Goßler and Thomas Kinkeldey from
the Brandenburgisches Landesamt für Denkmalpflege und
Archäologisches Landesmuseum in Wünsdorf near Berlin.
They are working on a wonderful project concerning the
Slavic Middle Ages (10th - 12th century) in Germany.
The work concerns the excavation of both so called
"Burgs" as well as other settlement for the Middle Elbe
area around Lenzen (Kr. Prignitz, Land Brandenburg) and
is financed by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft
DFG-Projekt "Linonen Westprignitz". More info can be
found on their website www.elbslawen.de.
Residues on several pieces of ceramic were sampled and will be subjected to DTMS analysis in order to determine the nature of the vessel contents. One of the residues comes from a vessel of a type commonly considered to be used for the preparation of pitch. Pitch was well known and commonly used in Slavic times in Germany.

Why the name Kenaz?

Kenaz is an old rune that
is often seen as carrying the meaning "torch" or "fire"
and depicted as flaming
brand, or a fiery chip of resinous pine wood. The runes
is also the symbol for the hard K.
The traditional meaning of Kenaz is a torch, and in that aspect, Kenaz indicates knowledge revealed. As a torch lights a pathway, so does Kenaz shed light on hidden reasons, underlying causes, unknown or unacknowledged aspects, and hidden motives. Kenaz's element is fire, the fire of creation, the fire of inspiration, the spark of enthusiasm that gets a project going. Kenaz often indicates a creative aspect, a beginning of some creative project.
