Acknowledgments
Along the way, we have had help from many institutions, whose generous funding has made it possible to carry out this project: the Research Council of Norway, the Centre for Advanced Study at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters and the Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History at the University of Oslo. Thanks to Torstein Bredal Jenssen for assisting us with a number of practical issues regarding this publication, such as the bibliographies, and indexing. We would also like to thank Kate Gilbert for her thorough proofreading.
