Trondheim is an old city. We celebrated its millenium in 1997, but there has been people here for a long time before 997. I love my city. I work downtown and weekly I go for photo walks, discovering old and new places.
We do know a lot about Trondheim´s history, but of course there are millions of things we do not know. Millions of things we would love to know.
For a few months now the marketplace downtown is turned almost upside down, an archaeological digging is gpoing on. Archaeologists are digging their way down though history, revealing a very few of the city secrets.
Torgeir, our oldest son, has a special love for Japan. The other day he learned that pieces of china from Japanese soya sauce bottles from around 1750 had been found. He knew he had to learn more about this, and when the archaeologists invited the citicens to an open day on Saturday, Torgeir contacted the man in charge and arranged for a meeting.
Ian Reed and Torgeir had a very interesting discussion. I was just a fly on the wall, a photographing fly. Torgeir took a series of notes, and some day soon I know his blog will be updated.
Meanwhile you can read the other posts in his travelblog.
Here it is.
I will continue to pass by the diggings, and from time to time there might be photos over in my Trondheimsbilder blog where I post a Trondheim photo a day.
By the way - here is a curiosity,
several hundred years ago a cat walked over wet clay, todayher pawprint can be enjoyed.
