Velkommen! / Welcome!
Jeg er geoarkeolog, bor på Tromøya ved Arendal og jobber med undersøkelser og bevaring av steinbygninger, gamle steinbrudd og bergkunst. En stor interesse er tradisjonell kalkbrenning. På denne nettsiden skriver jeg artikler om geologi og kulturminnevern både på norsk og engelsk. Jeg bruker ikke KI. For gleden ved gammel stein! Per Storemyr

I also burn lime the traditional way. On this website I publish articles on geology and heritage. I don't use AI. For the joy of old stone! Per Storemyr

Switzerland has a wealth of medieval castle ruins. In the Canton of Graübunden they are particularly numerous with, for example, the valley of Vorderrheintal (Surselva) displaying no less than about 50 ruins. Some are almost gone, others are kept in … Continue reading
