THE ANASON FAMILY IN ROGALAND COUNTY, NORWAY AND JUNEAU COUNTY, WISCONSIN BY LAWRENCE W. ONSAGER THE LEMONWEIR VALLEY PRESS Berrien Springs, Michigan and Mauston, Wisconsin 2013 ANASON FAMILY INTRODUCTION The Anason family has its roots in Rogaland County, in western Norway. Western Norway is the area which had the greatest emigration to the United States. The County of Rogaland, formerly named Stavanger, lies at Norway’s southwestern tip, with the North Sea washing its fjords, beaches and islands. The name Rogaland means “the land of the Ryger,” an old Germanic tribe. The Ryger tribe is believed to have settled there 2,000 years ago. The meaning of the tribal name is uncertain. Rogaland was called Rygiafylke in the Viking age. The earliest known members of the Anason family came from a region of Rogaland that has since become part of Vest-Agder County.

  • Western Karmøy, an Integral Part of the Precambrian Basement of South Norway
    WESTERN KARMØY, AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE PRECAMBRIAN BASEMENT OF SOUTH NORWAY TOR BIRKELAND Birkeland, T.: Western Karmøy, an integral part of the Precambrian basement of south Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 55, pp. 213-241. Oslo 1975. Geologically, the western side of Karmøy differs greatly from the eastern one, but has until recently been considered to be contemporaneous with the latter, i.e. of Caledonian age and origin. The rocks of western Karmøy often have a distinctly granitoid appearance, but both field geological studies and labora­ tory work indicate that most of them are in fact metamorphosed arenaceous rudites which have been subjected to strong regional metamorphism under PT conditions that correspond to the upper stability field of the amphibolite facies, whereas the Cambro-Ordovician rocks of the Haugesund-Bokn area to the east have been metamorphosed under the physical conditions of the green­ schist facies. From the general impression of lithology, structure, and meta­ morphic grade, the author advances the hypothesis that the rocks of western Karmøy should be related to a Precambrian event rather than to rock-forming processes that took place during the Caledonian orogeny. T. Birkeland, Liang 6, Auklend, 4000 Stavanger, Norway. Previous investigations The first detailed description of the rocks of western Karmøy was given by Reusch in his pioneer work from 1888. Discussing the mode of development of these rocks, he seems to have inclined to the opinion that the so-called 'quartz augen gneiss' and the other closely related rocks represent regionally metamorphosed clastic sediments. Additional information of the rocks con­ cerned is found in his paper from 1913.

  • 27 Aristocratic Presence Along the Karmsund Strait 2000 BC–AD 1368
    Dagfinn Skre 27 Aristocratic Presence along the Karmsund Strait 2000 BC–AD 1368 Pursuing the ARM research strategy (Ch. 4), this chapter summarises, analyses, and contextual- ises the evidence on aristocratic presence at Avaldsnes and along the Karmsund Strait presented in previous chapters in this book. In SP I (2000–350 BC) aristocratic presence was introduced and long-distance overseas connections to southern Scandinavia were established. In SP II (350 BC–AD 200) these connec- tions were maintained, warrior burials were introduced, and agrarian production increased, probably leading to population increase. In SP III (AD 200–600) major changes occurred. Princely graves were entombed in the ancient Flaghaug mound, a prominent stone monu- ment was raised, a monumental hall building, a boathouse, and a longhouse were erected; most of these buildings and monuments are without parallel in western Scandinavia, while the stone monument and one of the graves are unique in the whole of Scandinavia. The evi- dence for aristocratic presence is strong in SP III’s first two centuries, somewhat weaker in its latter two centuries. Features are few from SP IV (AD 600–900), the most substantial of which are remains of a palisade, which indicates external threats and hostilities as well as local mil- itary capabilities. Near Avaldsnes, the Salhus mound from early SP IV and the Grønhaug and Storhaug shipgraves from late SP IV provide evidence for aristocratic presence in this period. In early SP V (AD 900–1250) food-processing activities in the farmyard increase, and around the turn of the millennium a building appears to have been raised on the location where the hall building stood in SP III.

  • In Vil<Ing Age Orkney
    'Central places' in Vil<ing Age Orkney Frans-Arne Stylegar The present paper is an attenlpt to stinlulate discussion based on an analysis of the distribution patterns of S0111e place-names in Orkney. I It is argued, based on H. Mar\vick's interpretations, that SOlne of the Norse place-natnes in these islands seeln to belong to types that in Scandinavia are considered indicative of nodal or central places of the late Iron Age. The question is posed whether we in Viking Age Orkney can expect a social organisation and a settletnent structure similar to the one in the Scandinavian countries, and - if so - \vhat constitutes such a pattern? The Northern Isles lnay fulfil an itnportant role for students of Scandinavian central places, since one fronl the landnilJn situation in Orkney could, potentially, reach a fuller understanding of both chronological and social aspects of the different kinds of nodal places in the Scandinavian 'holne-lands'. Other parts of Britain, such as the Scottish Western Isles, could in principle serve the salne function, but in the latter case early Norse settletnent sites with only one exception still await discovery (Annit ]996). The study o.f·central places - so/ne Scandinavian examples Strictly speaking, the central place is an archaeological concept, denoting Iron Age settletnents with a rich and varied find material. Thus it covers sites that fulfilled various functions (Fabech 1999). The concept was reintroduced into Scandinavian archaeology after a symposiulll in Denlllark in 1989, first and foretnost to cOlne to tenns with a new type of Inetal-rich settlelnents that tnetal detector surveying had brought to light in Dennlark and Sweden (ibid.).

Sa To ansiktsmasker og en ring fra Avaldsnes i Rogaland Ett svar og flere spørsmål Av Frans-Arne Stylegar, Håkon Reiersen, Alexandra Pesch og Oliver Grimm Stylegar, F-A.; Reiersen, H.; Pesch, A. & Grimm, O., 2010. To ansiktsmasker og en ring fra Avaldsnes i Rogaland. Ett svar og flere spørsmål. (Two masks and a ring from Avaldsnes in Rogaland. One answer and several questions.) Fornvännen 106. Stockholm. Avaldsnes in Rogaland province, south-western Norway, is well-known among archaeologists for its many great barrows and richly furnished burials spanning from the Early Bronze Age to the Viking Period. In addition, written sources speak of a royal seat here about the end of the Viking Period. Among the lesser-known finds from Avaldsnes are two metal masks and a ring which came to light about 1800. Their current whereabouts are unknown, but good drawings survive. These finds have played only a marginal role in the archaeological literature. We argue that they were most likely found in the great Kjellerhaugen barrow at the vicarage, and that they thus probably represent a burial. We discuss the objects’ function and date, and tentatively suggest a date either in the Pre-Roman Iron Age or the Viking Period.
