work on the 23rd annual Lights in Alingsås festival this year the project was able to have the usual concept meeting in March as before the pandemic The sun was shining and there was a lot of energy and excitement in the room when the concept meeting started and the designers walked the lighting trail for the first time Later they chose the locations to illuminate this autumn - The opportunity to be involved with Lights in Alingsås is so special To bring lighting designers and students from around the world together to produce an event which allows people to be immersed in light is something truly wonderful The route of the lighting trail and this year’s theme will all be revealed later this spring  Lights in Alingsås welcomes this year´s Workshop Heads frida.almqvist@alingsasenergi.se 0322-61 76 89 The discovery was announced at an online press conference on Thursday 29 April that was streamed by more than 1,300 people A member of the public contacted the County Administrative Board after they happened on around 10 artefacts which had been uncovered by some kind of animal “Once it became apparent that this might be a hoard the decision was taken to carry out an archaeological dig,” says Pernilla Morner Curator at the Cultural Environment unit of the Västra Götaland County Administrative Board an archaeologist working at the Cultural Affairs Committee within Region Västra Götaland accompanied the member of the public who found the objects to the site and noted that the artefacts were of fantastic quality “Initially I thought these might be recent copies but that turned out not to be the case,” he says During the subsequent archaeological dig which has now concluded About 80 per cent of these were found outside a burrow while the remainder were found under a large boulder inside the burrow The area in which the objects were found is not near to any previously known settlements What has fascinated researchers and conservators the most is not only the quantity of objects “All the artefacts were essentially intact For them to be so well preserved is unique and it is likely they would have remained there unless an animal had decided to build its nest there,” says Madelene Skogberg conservator at the Cultural Affairs Committee within Region Västra Götaland The coming process to preserve these artefacts will seek to bring out the ornamentation “There are several interesting dimensions to this from a research perspective This find poses whole new questions,” says Johan Ling Professor of Archaeology at the University of Gothenburg The dig utilised contemporary archaeological methods which offer a significant advantage in comparison with Bronze Age finds discovered 100-200 years ago the team used laser scanning and analysed the soil they had lain in Half of the artefacts would not have been found without metal detectors “The artefacts are from the Late Nordic Bronze Age this is in the top three of the best finds ever They are extremely exclusive objects,” says Johan Ling “They have also been in extremely good conditions for their preservation It is very rare to see quality of this kind.” The objects were worn by one or more high-status women in the Bronze Age and were used to signal their social position “They would have worn them from head to toe spiral brooches (fibulae) and clasps which were used for textiles essentially intact anklets that would have been worn by the women,” says Johan Ling chains and a tutulus (another type of brooch worn ornamentally by women on their clothing or belt) a celt (a hollow axe) was found along with residue from castings in bronze Also uncovered was a goad that it is believed was used to spur  horses This type of artefact has been previously found in Denmark These types of artefacts are common finds in northern Germany and Poland “This demonstrates that there was some degree of contact with these groups,” says Johan Ling There now remains a significant volume of analyses to be carried out and Johan Ling believes it is important to carry out a more targeted investigation of the area to see whether there may be other hoards The artefacts that have been found are part of what is known as a “hoard” which means the artefacts were intentionally placed there “This may have been in connection with a burial in order to facilitate their use in the afterlife But more likely as a way of signalling their status: “I can afford to sacrifice some of my affluence!” The conservation of the finds will be a fairly lengthy process and their future after that process remains undetermined That decision will be up to the Swedish National Heritage Board to make but it is likely they will end up in a history museum This means that they will now be valued in order to determine their market value and it will then be the responsibility of the Swedish National Heritage Board to address the matter of remuneration for the man who found them in the woods south of Alingsås Text: Johanna Hillgren Find organisation the small Swedish town of Alingsås transformed itself into a walkable lighting art installation More than 70,000 visitors strolled along the three-kilometre-long light trail at the Lights in Alingsås outdoor festival and they were enchanted by the many lighting art installations created by international designers As part of the Lights in Alingsås organisation team, the German company Irrlicht Veranstaltungstechnik was responsible for the festival’s equipment management. One of the key pieces of equipment the company used was the ZENIT P40 LED-PAR outdoor spotlight by Cameo and created by US lighting designer Jessica Krometis – 36 ZENIT P40 IP65 outdoor PAR lights (including an elliptical 60° by 10° diffuser) were used to illuminate trees around a pond with uplights “We receive the designers’ concepts in the spring and try to implement them in the best way possible using the available spotlights,” explained Dierk Hartmann only outdoor spotlights are suitable for Lights in Alingsås We chose the Cameo ZENIT P40 for Jessica Krometis’s installation because its power LED configuration and beam angle correspond very closely to her specifications.” lighting installations are created that come in many different sizes and forms The Lights in Alingsås team makes every effort to implement even the most unusual wishes in the shortest possible time At the core of the entire project is a one-week workshop during which lighting designers work day and night with their teams in order to bring their lighting art designs to fruition there is a never-ending stream of new ideas and suggestions for changes,” explained Hartmann Hartmann is now working with the lighting designers for the ninth time “It’s important to react quickly and find effective solutions Cameo’s ZENIT P40 was perfect in this regard All of the spotlights could be put into operation immediately without external drivers and controls – this is the norm in the event technology world but not necessarily in the architectural sector withstanding five weeks of Swedish autumn weather is certainly not a bad reference for any outdoor spotlight…” cameolight.com We are using cookies to give you the best experience on our website You can find out more about which cookies we are using or

recovered in Sweden Analyses have now shown that the copper in the objects originates from Spain.  “We’ve taken samples from some of the objects and sent them for analysis in a laboratory in the  Basque region The results indicate quite unequivocally that the copper is actually from the Iberian peninsula professor of archaeology at the University of Gothenburg The documentary Bronsskattens hemlighet (Secret of the bronze hoard) is now available on SVTplay and invites viewers to follow the University of Gothenburg archaeologists in their quest for answers Who could have deposited these objects here and what was the social positions of these people in the Bronze Age society And perhaps the most important question of all:  Did these objects belong to one person or a certain group in society Anyone attempting to make bronze requires copper and tin tin does not exist in Sweden and copper was not mined here during the Bronze Age last autumn archaeologist Johan Ling and his team of researchers travelled to Spain and Galicia to one of areas in Europe that are richest in copper and tin to examine the rock carvings (called petroglyphs) in the region The team found petroglyphs in Spain that were similar to those in Sweden there are petroglyphs in Galicia that depict Scandinavian ships characteristic of the period and exactly the same period that the Alingsås find is from,” Johan Ling explains “There is much that indicates that groups from Scandinavia  could have been here to make these carvings but also in the carving technique and how they are depicted on flat rocks.” But a question we cannot answer with these analyses is why these objects were deposited just here The terrain slopes steeply and access is difficult.  “The location has nothing to do with any settlements What is interesting is that on the other side of this hilly area another major hoard of bronze objects was discovered So perhaps this hill was used as a space for sacrifices in different phases of the Bronze Age and that it can be seen as a ritual landscape,” says Johan Ling.  but there were no spruce forests in Sweden during the Bronze Age the archaeologists now believe that the place was a man-made stone construction that may have been highly visible in the Bronze Age landscape have acquired a special significance and may have been used for depositions and associated rituals You might almost think of it like a bronze statue.” Bronsskattens hemlighet (Secret of the bronze hoard), was created by documentary filmmaker Mikael Agaton and was broadcast on the program Vetenskapen värld (World of Science) on Monday, 6 February at 8 p.m. It is also available on SVTplay.

ensuring that the Catalans stay top of Group B A large deposit of Bronze Age artifacts thought to originate between 750 and 500 BC have been excavated in the Swedish town of Alingsås by Archaeologists from the Administration for Cultural Development various bronze objects were discovered by members of the public who notified the Administrative Board of Västra Götaland county about the findings The county dispatched a team comprised of members from the Administration for Cultural Development and researchers from the University of Gothenburg to conduct an archaeological survey A significant number of the findings consisted of decorative objects and needles and hoops that were used to fix various articles of clothing Alongside these findings also included a rod which were also sent off for preservation along with the items as mentioned earlier “Most of the finds are made up of bronze items that can be associated with a woman of high status from the Bronze Age,” explained Johan Ling Renewable energy firm RES and battery storage developer SCR have partnered to deploy another grid-scale battery storage project in Sweden The firms will deliver the 17MW/17MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) for local distribution network operator (DNO) and utility Alingsås Energi which runs the electricity system in Alingsås municipality and is owned by the municipal authority The project is set to reach commercial operation date (COD) in mid-2024 It is RES (Renewable Energy Solutions) and SCR’s (Scandinavian Capacity Reserve) second BESS project in Sweden, after a 20MW one launched recently for another DNO The project in Alingsås will be located close to one of the DNO’s substations and will help the operator manage the supply and demand of electricity on the grid Commercial Manager at RES – Nordics commented: “The need for energy storage is heavily increasing in Sweden and projects such as this one in Alingsås and Elektra in Landskrona are game changers for smarter energy systems.” added: “We are extremely happy to be able to attract this type of investment to Alingsås We see ourselves as enablers in creating the conditions for the green transition that is underway A battery storage of this size becomes an important resource in the local grid It contributes to secure the stability for the residents of Alingsås municipality in terms of energy supply and that is one of our main missions.” The energy storage market in Sweden has become very active over the past 12 months as developers seek to capitalise on high ancillary services revenues today and future opportunities in energy trading and capacity markets saw another DNO Nybro Energi order a 12MW BESS from Soltech Energy Solutions for a COD before the end of 2023 However, projects which are not directly for a DNO have tended not to give a firm COD in their announcements, including Axpo’s SENS project as well as those from developer Ingrid Capacity, which recently raised US$100 million
