Having seen an article on Thor news about the sandvika burials, I thought I would look in to the archaeology of hof and religious sites in Scandinavia, not much about, being a not often excavated site type, do you know of published reports of excavations etc? Hoping to review lit, but can't find much, hope all fares well, j

Hi,I unfortunately don’t have the time to go digging right now and I don’t have links ready to hand, but I do have some suggestions on where to look:

Academia.edu has a lot of academic documents available for free. It’s kind of hard to search, you have to search by very generalized topic tags and then scroll through until you find papers that fit with what you are looking for. I might suggest Old Norse Religion and Medieval Scandinavia to start with. Then try other narrowed tags, like Icelandic Archaeology for example.Another trick is to go to Google Scholar and do a search in the following way:“keyword1″ “keyword2″ “keyword3″ filetype:pdfThis will make Google search for scholarly articles that contain those keywords that are links to PDFs. This is important, as academic articles are usually published as PDFs, and if a hit returns, that means it’s more likely to be a freely available article (instead of just linking you to a paywall site that hides the article until you cough up a large fee for viewing privileges). I’d suggest trying all sorts of keywords like “norse excavation”, “norse archaeology”, “horg”, “hof”, etc etc.

This article might also be of interest, and this book.Hope this is at least a little bit helpful!
