Föredrag: Alar, ålar och annat på al-

Since the 1500s, people have made more or less scholarly speculations about the mysterious name "Albo" and its meaning. The lecturer, Ola Svensson, is a place name researcher and archaeologist working at the Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority (Lantmäteriet) and previously affiliated with the Dialect and Place Name Archive in Lund. In the lecture, we will hear about how people have speculated over the centuries, why the question has been of interest in the first place, and how assumptions have been made. Recent research in archaeology and place names has opened the door to an additional layer of understanding and a new interpretation. The traces lead deep into prehistoric times and can be followed toward Stenshuvud.

In collaboration with the Association for Ancient Monuments and Local Heritage in Southeastern Skåne and the Stensho Association – Friends of the Hillfort. Price: 150 SEK, members 100 SEK. Ticket purchase via the museum's website.
