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 work with the geoarchaeology of old stone: monuments, quarries, rock art. And I try to figure out about their weathering, and conservation using traditional crafts. 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

New publications 2009-2010
Though published some months ago, I would like to briefly present four of my most recent publications. Two derives from the EU QuarryScapes project, two from a conference last year in Trondheim about new research at Nidaros Cathedral.
