The First Millennium Project Travels in Time This project has been carried out with the support of the European Community Project No : 2002-0370 / 001 - 001 CLT - CA12 Project Description This project from Ireland, Norway and Scotland interprets the mutual, yet distinctive, cultural history and development of three unique centres of power on the Atlantic rim of northern Europe during the first millennium AD. This includes the transition from Pagan to Early Christian beliefs and practices, the development of Viking culture and the interaction of the three areas. The project relates the histories of the three nations represented utilising interactive and wide reaching media. In presenting the similarity and diversity in the ancient cultural landscapes of these now peripheral regions of Mayo, Vestvågøy and Mid-Argyll, the project demonstrates that these areas shared common systems of dealing with power, influence and transition. These systems may have some relevance to the future development of regions on the margins of Europe Project Partners Meitheal Mhaigh Eó Teó (lead partner) Lofotr, the Viking Museum Kilmartin House Museum Project Funders Ireland Meitheal Mhaigh Eó Teó Funded by the Irish Government to deliver the LDSIP which forms part of the NDP 2000-2006 and which is administered nationally by Area Development Management Ltd Mayo County Council - County Development Board Foras Áiseanna Saothair - Training & Employment Authority Norway Lofotr, the Viking Museum at Borg Vestvagoy Kommune Musam - Network of Museums in Lofoten Nordlande Flyke Scotland Kilmartin House Trust Trustee Donations Fundraising Activities Project Participants Ireland Norway Scotland Director Justin Sammon Geir Are Johansen Sharon Webb Manager Anne Finn Ole Martin Hammer Richard Adair Evaluation John Magee Dr Stephen Wickler Emma Carver Technical Co-ordinator Kevin Barton Anne Lise Fløttum Wenche Brun Sharon Webb Gilbert Márkus Community Liam Murphy Kevin Barton Anne Lise Fløttum Sharon Webb Georgia Crook Research  Liam Murphy Kevin Barton Wenche Brun Anne Lise Fløttum Sharon Webb Gilbert Márkus Monument Database Liam Murphy Dympna McDonagh Anne Lise Fløttum Wenche Brun Gilbert Márkus Website Michael Hambly Kevin Barton Liam Murphy Wenche Brun Anne Lise Fløttum Gilbert Márkus Sharon Webb Education Programme Liam Murphy Anne Lise Fløttum Sharon Webb Anne Wilson Conference Liam Murphy Dympna McDonagh Kevin Barton Nille Glæsel Johansen Anne Lise Fløttum Rachel Butter Gilbert Márkus Workshops Liam Murphy John Magee Kevin Barton Nille Glæsel Johansen Anne Lise Fløttum Rachel Butter Sharon Webb Gilbert Márkus David McGilp CD ROM/ 3-D Flyby Kevin Barton Liam Murphy Dympna Mc Donagh  Geir Are Johansen Anne Lise Fløttum Sharon Webb Gilbert Márkus Exhibition Liam Murphy Kevin Barton Wenche Brun Anne Lise Fløttum Sharon Webb Gilbert Márkus Publication Liam Murphy Justin Sammon Anne Lise Fløttum Rachel Butter Gilbert Márkus Participant's Affilations Ireland Norway Scotland Kevin Barton Landscape & Geophysical Services Anne Finn Meitheal Mhaigh Eó Teó Michael Hambly Mayo Ireland Ltd John Magee Mayo County Council - Development Board Dympna McDonagh Meitheal Mhaigh Eó Teó Liam Murphy Meitheal Mhaigh Eó Teó Justin Sammon Meitheal Mhaigh Eó Teó Wenche Brun Lofotr, the Viking Museum  Anne Lise Fløttum Lofotr, the Viking Museum Ole Martin Hammer Lofotr, the Viking Museum Geir Are Johansen Lofotr, the Viking Museum Nille Glæsel Johansen Lofotr, the Viking Museum Dr Stephen Wickler Tromsø Museum Richard Adair Kilmartin House Trust Rachel Butter Kilmartin House Trust Emma Carver Historic Scotland Georgia Crook Kilmartin House Trust Gilbert Markus Writing Scotland David McGilp Kilmartin House Trust Sharon Webb Kilmartin House Trust Disclaimer The content of this project does not necessarily reflect the position of the European Community, nor does it involve any responsibility on the part of the European Community.
