Olin and Seaver have recently presented their views on the map at
a conference in Copenhagen. In Danish at
http://www.kb.dk/kb/dept/nbo/kob/nyhedsbrev/#03
it is stated that Olin did not claim that her results proved the
map to authentic.

The conference program is found here http://www.dpc.dk/DYNAMICS/
And Inger/Eric Stevens/Seppo should take note of the following
program entry: PUBLIC LECTURE BY DR. BIRGITTA WALLACE
