Dear w0mbats,

Via picture captions, I believe that Tyho Brahe's observatory
Stjerneborg (or Stellaburgi in Latin) has been subject to
archaeological excavation in 1951 and possibly 1901.  Stjerneborg and
Brahe's castle, Uraniborg, were built on the Island of Ven (which is
currently Swedish.  It had been Danish and called Hven).

I have been trying with no success to discover:

1. Who or what entities performed these excavations?
2. Did they publish their findings?
3. If they published, where I can find the publications?

It'd be lovely if there was a publication in English, but I suspect
that any such publication would be in
Swedish or Danish.

Thank you!
