A Historical Archaeology of Swedish Naval Lodjas and a Survey of a 1660 Wreck Barrier Outside Dalarö Sea Fortress
Child/youth leadership and climate cases
This article examines the phenomenon of child/youth leadership within climate litigation. We argue that it is a part of postpaternalism, whereby children/youth engage in grassroots action (for the first time, on a global scale), rather than well-meaning adults ‘giving’ them their rights. Analysis is provided of 15 child/youth-involved climate cases. We identified that the leadership of children is inherent in their taking of these cases, and part…

Participation and Postpaternalism
Children and youth have been engaging in climate action in significant numbers in recent years. They have engaged in protests in the streets, as well as dialogue with governments and intergovernmental organisations. In recent years they have been taking climate cases against governments with the aim of decreasing emissions in an effort to mitigate the climate crisis. In this article, we examine this action through the lens of child/youth particip…
Cop and the Experiences of Children and Youth
This article examines how children and youth exercise political agency – and confront its limits – within global climate governance processes linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( unfccc ). It draws on 20 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with climate advocates aged 11 to 29 who have attended (or attempted to attend) unfccc Conferences of the Parties ( cop s). Using an intersectional, rights-based framework info…
A Revision of the Dendrochronological Date of the Grønhaug Ship – and its Methodological and Interpretational Implications
The Maderö Wreck
The Maderö wreck was discovered in the 1960s in the Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden. An archaeological investigation undertaken in 2022 included the inspection and documentation of visible ship parts, sampling for dendrochronological analysis and sampling for ICP analysis from the brick cargo. The results show that the wood originates from the Baltic Sea area and was felled after 1467, while the clay for the brick originates from the Mecklenburg-Vo…
Child and Youth Friendly Justice for the Climate Crisis
The climate crisis is a human rights crisis, and one of the worst affected groups is children and youth. This same group has been key to climate action in and outside of the courts. As well as engaging in numerous consultative fora such as cop , and in the introduction of a General Comment on the right of children to a healthy environment, they have gone on to become key litigators in climate cases/applications at both national and international …
Neptunus and To Løver
We report the archaeological survey, dendrochronological analysis, and archival research concerning two shipwrecks located in shallow waters outside Vaxholm in the Stockholm Archipelago, Baltic Sea. According to oral tradition, the two wrecks are the remains of Neptunus and To Løver , two former Danish warships that were taken as prizes at the battle of Fehmarn in 1644. The Swedish navy then used the two ships until 1659, when they were reportedl…
Køge 2. A Clinker-built Shipwreck from the Medieval Harbour of Køge, Zealand, Denmark
The development of a new cityscape in the old industrial harbour known as ‘Sønder Havn’ in Køge in eastern Zealand led in the summer of 2018 to the finding of a clinker-built shipwreck. The ship had been built in the 1520s, exclusively from oak, and had undergone a reinforcement in the stem some ten years after the initial building phase, hereby adding an extra outer layer of clinker planks and five riders on top of the floor timbers. The extensi…

Just Bad Quality or Just Good Quality? The Meaning of Macroscopic Growth Features of Timber in Ship-Archaeological Analyses
The particular macroscopic growth features of the timbers of Bremen-Cog , a late 14th-century cargo vessel, were the subject of a detailed analysis during the European Research Council ( ERC ) research project TIMBER at the University of Copenhagen. The unexpected depth of the results of this examination led to the feasibility study presented in this paper, which evaluates the meaning of macroscopic growth features in ship archaeological analyses…
Intergenerational rights are children's rights
This article reflects on intersections between intergenerational equity, children's rights and the rights of future generations. Recent climate cases involving children and youth are considered, and the fact that few rely on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is analysed. It is emphasised that intergenerational rights are children's rights – children are a crucial link between current and future generations. In particular the prin…
Dating the timbers from the ‘Sparrow-Hawk’, a shipwreck from Cape Cod, USA
In 1626, a vessel making its way to Virginia was forced off course and damaged in a storm, which drove the ship onto the eastern shore of the Cape Cod peninsula, Massachusetts. Onboard were two English merchants and some servants and farmers, many of whom were Irish. In 1863, a storm exposed the weathered remains of a vessel at Old Ship Harbor. At the time, it was hailed as the same ship that had brought the Virginia-bound passengers to Plymouth …
Tracing Trade Routes
The Skaftö wreck of c.1440, situated north of Gothenburg, Sweden, was investigated between the years 2005 and 2009. Investigations revealed a variety of cargoes, such as copper and speiss ingots, barrels with lime and tar, bricks and roof tiles, and oak timber in the form of planks and boards. In order to identify the different cargo types found on the wreck, and, possibly, establish their geographical origin, a variety of analytical methods have…
Timber Resources for the ‘Bremen Cog’
In 2016, about 40 years after the first dendrochronological investigation of the ‘Bremen Cog’, a new comprehensive analysis was carried out, which included an examination of timber quality. The new dating of 55 samples matches with the 1960s’ results. However, their provenance was established in the direct hinterlands of Bremen. The anatomical features of the vessel's timber reflect heavily exploited forests in the vicinity of a late medieval tow…

The sources of Baltic oak
Past trade in oak from the lands to the east and south of the Baltic Sea was extraordinary in that it dominated the Northern European market for specialized oak products for many centuries. Equally extraordinary is the fact that since the 1980s, when a large corpus of dendrochronological data from artworks was demonstrated to represent the material evidence for this past trade, we, until now, have not been able to pinpoint where, in this large re…
Climate Competence
Those who are under-18 are not often associated with the exercise of political rights. It is argued in this article however that youth-led climate activism is highlighting the extensive potential that children and young people have for political activism. Moreover, youth activists have come to be seen by many as uniquely competent on climate change. Youth activists have moved from the streets to the courts, utilising national and international hu…
The Bremen-Cog
The Bremen-Cog was dated by dendrochronology in the 1960s when the discipline was in its infancy. The felling date of winter 1378/79 in the Weser Uplands was established and confirmed in 2007. In 2016 a new comprehensive analysis of the ship was made possible. All analysed samples are from trees likely felled in the last quarter of the 14th century in the direct hinterlands of Bremen. Furthermore, an attempt at tree morphology reconstruction and …
Timber supply for Vasa
Purchase records tell us that timber for building the Vasa, completed in Stockholm in 1628, was bought from southeastern Sweden, Königsberg and Amsterdam (Cederlund 1966). An extensive tree-ring analysis of the timbers used to build Vasa is revealing details of the use of timbers in the hull from different sources. As part of the project entitled “Northern Europe’s timber resource – chronology, origin and exploitation (TIMBER),” the study of th…
Borgring. Uncovering the strategy for a Viking Age ring fortress in Denmark
In 2014, Borgring, near Køge, Denmark, was identified as the fifth geometrical Viking Age ring fortress in Denmark, complementing an exclusive group of monuments including Trelleborg. Excavations and surveys in 2016–18 allow a detailed reconstruction of the site and its history. Borgring is a fortification with the same geometry, construction, and location as other Trelleborg-type fortresses, though exhibiting notable differences. Finds, includin…
The Vordingborg Boat
In 2012, a mechanical excavator unearthed the remains of a 14th-century boat while restoring the moat at Vordingborg Castle, Denmark. The boat-find was documented and both dendrochronological and metallurgical investigations were conducted. The trees that were used to build the boat were felled 1355–1366 in the region around Gdańsk, Poland. However, the building of the boat was probably conducted near Vordingborg Castle in the second half of the …
The Bøle Ship, Skien, Norway—Research History, Dendrochronology and Provenance
The wreck-site at Bøle near Skien was first reported in 1950 during dredging in the river. The Bøle ship is one of the most significant medieval ship-finds in Norway, and the manner of its discovery is referred to as a tragedy in ship archaeology. New investigations at the site in 2004–2006 revealed more fragments from the vessel and its cargo, and the ship is now the object of new studies. This article presents a description of the ship and its …
The plundering of the ship graves from Oseberg and Gokstad
Not the least of the unusual revelations that have come from the wonderfully preserved ninth-century Norwegian ship burials at Oseberg and Gokstad, is the fact that both had been later broken into-by interlopers who defaced the ship, damaged the grave goods and pulled out and dispersed the bones of the deceased. These 'mound-breakers' helpfully left spades and stretchers in place, and through the application of some highly ingenious dendrochronol…

Tree-Rings, Timbers and Trees
In 2000, the remains of a cog, Doel 1, were found in Doel, Belgium. Wood species identification of all ship timbers and smaller elements was performed. European oak was the dominant species, followed by alder that was used for the fairings. In total 150 ring-width series were recorded. The construction date was set at AD 1325/26 and the timbers proved to originate from forests along the rivers Elbe and Weser. For the bottom strakes a strict symme…
The Karschau Ship, Schleswig-Holstein
The felling of the oak trees used to build the Karschau ship took place in or around the AD 1140s. The tree-ring curves from the oak planks from the Karschau Ship match best with site-means from Odense, a medieval town on the island of Funen, Denmark. New research being carried out by the author is allowing the determination of the provenance of ancient oak to a more local level. Through this dendrochronological research, it is now possible to di…
Assessing Children’s Capacity
This article seeks to reconceptualise approaches to assessing children’s capacity, particularly in light of Article 5 of the crc , which enshrines the principle of the evolving capacities of the child. Professionals regularly assess children’s capacity, for example when doctors treat children, or when lawyers represent child clients. They usually do this assessment intuitively however, as there is little guidance on how assessment should work in …
Determining the Sr isotopic composition of waterlogged wood – Cleaning more is not always better
Selecting and Sampling Shipwreck Timbers for Dendrochronological Research
In this article, we provide practical and straightforward guidance for the selection and sampling of shipwreck timbers for dendrochronological research. We outline sampling strategies and present informative figures that illustrate how to proceed in a variety of scenarios that archaeologists regularly encounter. However, in order to fully exploit the potential of tree-ring research on these objects, we would urge archaeologists to involve dendroc…
Doel 2
In 2002, the preserved bottom part of a wreck was excavated, identified as a cog, and named Doel 2. An interdisciplinary research programme (2010–2014), revealed that the ship was constructed after 1328 with wood from northern Poland. Complete 3D-registration of the timbers, and structural analysis showed it had a keelplank with a natural upward curve at the bow that served as a hook, and that most bottom planks were recaulked, among many other r…
The Mollö Cog Re-Examined and Re-Evaluated
As part of a research project on medieval trade and maritime transportation in the former Norwegian province of Bohuslän, western Sweden, a dendrochronological analysis of the so-called Mollö cog was undertaken. The wreck, which was first salvaged in 1980, was previously dated by 14C analysis. Since this provided a nearly 400-year time-span for the building of the vessel, a more precise dating was considered essential. In conjunction with dendroc…
Vulnerable subjects and autonomous actors
International human rights standards are clear that children and young people have a right to sexuality education. Nevertheless, the delivery of such education is often considered questionable, particularly for groups of children perceived as more ‘vulnerable’. In this article, the example of the right to access sexuality education for disabled children is used to explore the autonomy/vulnerability dynamic. Historically, sexuality education has b…

Old maps, channel change, serendipity and loss
Large, impressive medieval V-shaped wooden fishing structures located on the Fergus Estuary, Co. Clare, Ireland have been the subject of ongoing research funded by the Heritage Council (2008–2012) and a Marie Curie IEF fellowship (2011–2013). The weirs would have caught fish on an ebb tide and are collectively known as the Boarland Rock complex. Successive construction occurred from as early as the thirteenth century to the fifteenth century AD a…
Fine-Tuned Chronology of Medieval Fishweirs on the Fergus Estuary, Co. Clare, Ireland
At the spring tides, during the summer of 2011, a team from the School of Archaeology, University College Dublin, made several research trips to a complex of medieval fishweirs at a location close to Boarland Rock on the Fergus estuary, Co. Clare, Ireland (Excavation license no. 09E0358). The purpose of these visits was to obtain samples of wood from two of the structures, to carry out chronological studies. Through detailed examination of these …

The Dating of Poel 11 and Hiddensee 12, Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, Germany
For more than a decade the Hiddensee 12 and Poel 11 shipwrecks (Fig. 1), also known as the Gellen wreck and Poel cog (Förster, 2009), have been regarded as late 14th-century cargo vessels built on the south-western shores of the Baltic Sea in Mecklenburg. Hiddensee 12 was discovered in 1996 during a survey by the regional society for underwater archaeology on the south-west coast of the island of Hiddensee. Soon after it was located, a few mediev…
The Dendrochronological Dating of Timber Crossings in West Jutland, Denmark
The dendrochronological analyses of a large number of timbers from two sites are described. Nybro causeway in west Jutland, Denmark, which was built in the 8th century AD, consists of numerous phases, identifiable due to the large number of dendrochronologically dated timbers, of which many had complete sapwood, to bark edge, preserved. Skjern Bridge, across the Skjern River and also in west Jutland, is medieval in date, with phases from the 12th…

Chronology, Culture and Archaeology
Over the last couple of decades, survey of the estuaries of Irish rivers, particularly around the Shannon and Fergus estuaries in Co. Clare, has produced a wealth of inter-tidal remains of structures that attest to the exploitation of resources in this marginal zone, through time (O’Sullivan, 2001; 2003). More recent discoveries in the Fergus estuary, funded by the Irish Heritage Council, have led to a series of research projects, investigating t…
