Harry Fett (i På Kulturvernets veier). _Med Harry Fett er den siste av en stor generasjon av kunst- og kultur­ forskere i vårt land gått bort. «Vernerne» er titelen på en av Harry Fetts beste mindre avhandlinger, og ordet kan godt brukes om alle dem jeg her særlig tenker på: Anders Sandvig, Hans Aall, Jens Thiis, G. F. Hei­ berg, Th. Petersen, Hans Dedekam, Harry Fett, Haakon Shetelig, Carl W. Schnitler og A. W. Brøgger. A tale om et slektledd strengt genealogisk sett er nok litt slurvet. Eldstemann i laget, Sandvig, ble født 1864, den yngste, Brøgger, 1884. Men de fleste av dem hadde det til felles at de gjorde seg gjeldende i ung alder og at deres viktigste innsats i modnere år faller så noenlunde samtidig - med en rommelig margin. Så steilt de kunne stå mot hverandre i faglige spørsmål, som f. eks. Dedekam og Schnitler i striden om Vigelandsanlegget (begge disse døde før de hadde fylt 60 år) er det betegnende at de alltid - eller nesten alltid - holdt et godt kollegialt forhold og aldri forblandet person og sak. De kunne være kvasse i sin karakteristikk, ikke bare av andre, men også av hver .... andre, men det brøt ikke et kameratskap (ikke å forveksle med kame­ raderi) som for flere av dem var et nært personlig vennskap. Når dette fremheves er det fordi hele kretsen og ikke minst Harry Fett selv var så opptatt av dette. Gang på gang kommer han inn på det i sine erind­ ringer På kulturvernets veier. I konsentrert form fikk jeg det son1 takk for en hilsen jeg hadde sendt ham til 80 årsdagen: «Og er det noe jeg håper vi kan overlate til neste generasjon, så er det er godt samarbeide. 5 Kultur er i virkeligheten et tean1 work. Jeg hadde nær sagt - uten det, ingen kultur>>. En dyrebar arv har vi her å forvalte. I sitt livsverk var Harry Fett en nesten ufattelig samn1ensetning av sjef for en stor bedrift, av kulturverner, ikke bare n1ens han var riks­ antikvar, Inen både før og senere, av vitenskapstnann og skribent på de utroligste felter innen- og utenfor sitt fag, 111en alltid innenfor sin nesten grenseløse interessesfære. Kanskje kunne det falle en og annen inn at denne spennvidden kunne ron1n1e nesten uforenlige n1otsetninger - tan­ ken har neppe noen gang vært et problen1 for han1 selv. Et typisk ut­ slag av kon1binasjonen fabrikkeier og kunsthistoriker er bevegelsen Kunst på arbeidsplassen, son1 han satte i gang i sin egen bedrift 1-Iøien­ hall Fabriker og sotn senere ved hans og 111edarbeideres virke er vokset fren1 ti] en otnfattende organisasjon. Han elsket bøker og hadde i sitt vakre og sterkt personlig pregede hjen1 Christinedal blant andre kunstskatter også en utsøkt boksamling, til dels n1eget sjeldne saker. Men han satnlet på bøker, ja i grunnen ikke så 111eget for å satnle, 111en for å lese den1. Og det var vel hele dette sjeldne konglomerat av bedriftsherre, en1bets1nann, vitenskapsn1ann og skribent son1 gjorde at han helst ville kalles og selv kalte seg dr. Fett uten andre titler. Han ville først og fren1st være akaden1iker, n1en en meget util­ støvet akaden1iker. Det har vært sagt så ofte og 111ed rette at blant Harry Fetts Inange og store fortjenester er at han i utforskningen av vår n1iddelalder løftet billedkunsten opp fra et noe tørt antikvarisk til et levende kunsthistorisk plan. Men den situasjon han gjorde det i var nesten paradoksal, men typisk for Harry Fett. Son1 ung n1ann var han like etter århundreskiftet 1ned på palassrevolusjonen i Foreningen til norske fortidsn1innesmerkers bevaring. Son1 en historisk nødvendighet ble den forhistoriske arkeo­ logi skjaltet helt ut av foreningens virke, og også tniddelalderen kom for en tid nokså tneget i bakgrunnen, det var den etterrefonnatoriske tid 6 son1 nu kon1 fren1 i søkelyset. Harry Fett var sterkt n1ed i denne be­ vegelsen og hans uvisnelige kjærlighet til norsk barokk skriver seg vel fra denne tiden. Men det var den sa111111e Harry Fett son1 få år senere (1908) tok doktorgraden på det skjelsettende arbeide Billedhugger­ kunsten i Norge under Sverreætten. Betegnende for Harry Fett er at han aldri så arkeologi og kunsthistorie son1 noen 111otsetninger, n1en son1 skudd på san1111e tre. I vår tid er det - eller bør være - en selvfølge, i brytningsårene ble det av og til sett son1 n1otpoler. I vårt fag - både den forhistoriske og n1iddelalderskc arkeologi var han son1 så ofte et bindende ledd. I Knut Han1suns praktfulle dikt til Bjørnstjerne Bjørnsons 70 årsdag er det et vers, som nesten ord til annet kan brukes også 0111 Harry Fett: Alt saa du dig tid til: at rydde at hegne at nære alt tok du paa dig, din bredde var skapt til at bære. Nei sitte og gjøre dig sjælden og aagre en dag m_ed dit navn? Du gav det til pris for hver ravn. Du hadde slik ra ad til det 1nester, du hadde saa bredfuld en favn. Og ravner var det nok av også når det gjaldt Harry Fett, særlig i den skarpe strid før han ble riksantikvar. Men ellers også. Og det lar seg ikke nekte de har rett son1 hevder at det var 111ange villskudd i hans vitenskapelige og essayistiske hage. Men et stort 111enneskes ettern1æle skal først og fremst dømmes ut fra det positive og ikke det negative, hvis det negative ikke har hatt skadevirkninger - og det har vel ingen våget å si om Harry Fett. Lenge etter at villskuddene er visnet står de store veksterlige trær igjen. 7 H. P. L'Orange EN SENANTIKK KEISERINNESTATUE I DET NORSKE INSTITUTT I ROMA Tale ved Roma-Instituttets innvielse 15. 10. 1962. Oversatt fra italiensk. V ed innvielsen av vårt norske institutt i Ron1a burde de forskninger som drives ved Instituttet få komme til orde, og disse har sin tyngde i den senantikke og tidligmiddelalderske arkeologi og kunsthistorie. Det skulle være fristende å ta opp et stort tema fra dette studieon1råde her i aften, men tiden har fløyet ifra oss og bare noen minutter står oss 1~u igjen. Vi nøyer oss derfor tned en kort presentasjon av et enkelt senantikt monument. Mine ærede tilhørere har allerede da de vandret den ytre trapp opp til vårt hus gjort bekjentskap med det monument jeg vil presentere, og jeg tillater meg å anbefale at de fordyper bekjentskapet når de forlater vårt hus og atter befinner seg på den ytre trapp. Foran oss står på dette sted en kvinnelig statue (fig. 1-3), og denne statue er for oss som arbeider i Det norske institutt noe mer enn en dekorativ figur som fryder vårt øye hver gang vi vandrer opp Instituttets trapp. Statuen er samtidig en symbolsk figur ved selve inngangsporten til vårt studium. Det er nemlig, som vi nu skal vise, ingen ringere enn en senantikk keiserinne som trer frem for oss i denne statue. Det dreier seg om et unicum i det sen­ antikke Romas statuariske kunst. Statuen stammer fra en gammel romersk privatsamling og er en gave fra en av Instituttets stiftere, godseier Treschow, som er til stede her idag og som jeg gjerne vil takke fra denne talerstol. Statue og plint er arbeidet av en eneste marmorblokk. Viktig er at hodet, som er gått tapt, 9 Fig. 1-3. Senantikk keiserinnestatuc i Det norske institutt Roma. Fig. 2. Fig. 3. har vært arbeidet i en blokk for seg og innsatt i statuen. Det er den tradi­ sjonelle romerske fremgangsmåte i portrettstatuer, i motsetning til frem­ gangsmåten i idealstatuer. Det individuelle portretthode ble nemlig arbeidet av en specialisert portrettkunstner og senere innføyet i statuen. Det er altså en portrettskulptur vi har for oss. Statuen er noe mindre enn legemsstor. Den fremstilte står i rolig, avspent holdning, høyre ben er standben, venstre ben er sterkt avlastet. Høyre arm som er gått tapt, var arbeidet i en blokk for seg og satt inn i og boltet til hovedblokken. Armens stilling kan rekonstrueres ut fra de omgivende deler: den var strakt ut til siden og oppad. Sannsynligvis hever hun hånden til en langt hen synlig hilsen, eller hun løfter den i talegestus, i antikkens typiske gestus oratorius. Venstre underarm er fremstrakt, antagelig har hånden holdt en bokrull. Der er en Schwung over hele statuens holdning, en grandezza i denne fremtreden med oppløftet høyre arm, som tydelig indiserer høye pretensjoner.

The burial probably took place around the year 850, and the contents of the grave date from the first half of the 9th century. The ship and her contents were well pre- served by the clay subsoil which provided near hermetic conditions.

  • Norwegian Archaeology - Past and Present
    11. Institutions Norwegian archaeology - past and present SVEIN INDRELID Although the distance between Lithuania and Norway is not really large -less than 650 kin at the shortest -the two countries are in several ways very different. Lithuania is a low country, a land of flat plains and rolling hills, while Norway is a mountainous country. About 80°/o of Norway is taken up by mountains and forests. Less than 3°/o is agricultural land, while -according the statistics I have consulted - 49°/o of Lithuania is cultivated fields, and another 22°/o meadows and pasture land. The land area of Norway is about 5 times larger than that of Lithuania, but the population is aboutthe same, 4.3 million in Norway, and 3.7 million in Lithuania. This gives an average of 57 persons pr km2 in Lithuania, while Norway has the lowest population density in Europe, with only 13 persons pr km2. The physical factors of nature strongly influence man's adaptation to his environment. Human response to the environment varies over distance and with changes in the environment. Different adaptive patterns can be expected to occur within diverse environments. Topographic and climatic factors may limit human settlement and exploitation and serve to define the area used by a specific band of hunter-gatherers (Price 1980:223). Information from Australia indicates that tribal boundaries are based on visible and rational physiographic features such as river systems, watersheds, shifts in topography, and changes in floral complexes' (Birdsell 1971 :334). Information from other ethnographically-known areas of the world indicates that the same pattern is consistent (Price 1980:223).

  • Timo Salminen in SEARCH of a NORDIC IDEA? the FIRST FIVE NORDIC MEETINGS of ARCHAEOLOGISTS 1916–27
    Fennoscandia archaeologica XXXIII (2016) Timo Salminen IN SEARCH OF A NORDIC IDEA? THE FIRST FIVE NORDIC MEETINGS OF ARCHAEOLOGISTS 1916–27 Abstract International congresses of archaeology ceased abruptly after the outbreak of the First World War. The first Nordic Meeting of Archaeologists was held in 1916 in Kristiania (Norway). The first five meetings are analysed in this study. From the very beginning, these meetings were highly significant both for introducing new finds and for bringing interpretations under discussion. Also methodological questions, especially those relating to scientific methods, were included in the programmes. On the other hand, archaeological theory was not dealt with, nor was there any unanimity on theoretical questions. Diffusionist explanation models dominated the presentations, but a considerable plurality of views was allowed. Ideological connotations can be observed in several papers and excursions, but ethnic questions were relatively marginal. The various attempts to discover a common Nordic idea at the meetings did not lead to significant results. On a practical level, the meetings proved to be important from the beginning.

    Breivik, H M and Ellingsen, E G 2014 ‘A Discovery of Quite Exceptional Proportions’: Controversies in the Wake of Anders Nummedal’s Discoveries of Norway’s First Inhabitants. Bulletin of the History of Archaeology, 24: 9, pp. 1–13, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/bha.249 PAPER ‘A Discovery of Quite Exceptional Proportions’: Controversies in the Wake of Anders Nummedal’s Discoveries of Norway’s First Inhabitants Heidi Mjelva Breivik* and Ellen J. Grav Ellingsen† Around the beginning of the twentieth century archaeologists believed that Norway was not inhabited until the Late Stone Age. In 1909 two pieces of flint, found by the school-teacher Anders Nummedal, launched an extensive debate about the prehistory of Norway, which in time led to the acknowledgement that there was an Early Mesolithic (9500–8000 BC) settlement of the country. However, Nummedal’s lack of archaeological education worked against him when he tried to date the many flint sites he found later on, and well-established researchers found his theories about Stone Age settlements unconvincing. He was regarded as an unskilled teacher who did not know the first thing about archaeological methods and terminology. Today, Nummedal is considered to be one of the most influential participants in Norwegian Stone Age research, and his discoveries are well known and widely recognized. This paper describes Nummedal’s fight to transform his reputation from ridiculed amateur to respected professional. The resistance he met when presenting his sensational theories is detailed through an extensive review of letters, newspaper articles and eulogies written by his colleagues.

  • Iron Production in Scandinavian Archaeology
    ARTICLE Norwegian Archaeological Review, Vol. 36, No. 2, 2003 Iron Production in Scandinavian Archaeology LARS F. STENVIK Trends in archaeological research in iron production during the 100 years that this topic has been studied in Scandinavia are highlighted in this article. In some periods there has been a relatively high level of activity among iron production researchers; in other periods the interest has tended to wane. Why should this be so and to what extent have theoretical trends in archaeology influenced this field? From a European perspective, Sweden and Norway are uniquely placed for studies of ancient iron technology because the remains of iron production in these countries are situated in remote areas. They are preserved because there has been no activity in the forests and mountain regions to disturb them since the production sites were vacated hundreds and thousands of years ago. INTRODUCTION HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The study of artefacts and the establishing of An interest in iron production took place a a chronology had dominated the discipline long time before archaeologists started to of archaeology in the 19th century in investigate iron production sites.

  • 5 the Ship Graves on Kormt – and Beyond
    Jan Bill 5 The Ship Graves on Kormt – and Beyond Two of the most significant archaeological monuments on Karmøy are the burials from Storhaug and Grønhaug. Consisting of impressive mounds containing large chamber graves in ships, they belong to the most exclusive and costly group of ritual expressions known from the Viking Age. The two ship graves on Karmøy thus represent persons and politics at the very heart of what made this island an important place in early medieval Scandinavia. This chapter suggests that the majority of monumental burials using the ship allegory were manifestations of a certain ori- gin myth, of which the Danish Skjǫldungar legend is an example, erected as part of the power struggle between ascendant royal families. Archaeological material and written sources are analysed to illuminate the use of ship sym- bolism in monumental burials in and around Scandinavia: large mounds with inhumations or cremations in ships; large ship-shaped stone settings; and written sources from the 10th to the 14th century mentioning ship burials. The archaeological study shows that two different tradi- tions were in use from the late 6th to the late 10th century. One was utilising stone ship settings, at least sometimes in combination with cremations, and was used in southern and eastern Sweden as well as in Denmark. The other, employing inhumation burials in ships, derived from a Scandinavian tradition of placing the deceased in boats for the funerals, but was only developed into a monumental format in East Anglia around 600. From there, it spread to Norway and, to a lesser extent, Denmark in the late 8th–10th centuries.
