Nordic Blade Technology Network
The Nordic Blade Technology Network brought together archaeologists who study how the first people settled Fennoscandia after the last Ice Age, through the stone blades they made. Its contacts were Helena and Kjel Knutsson at Uppsala University, who also run Stoneslab. The site presented the research, the people and the meetings to members and partners across Europe. It worked on phones as well as desktops.
