I världsarvet Södra Ölands odlingslandskap ingår byarna, åkrarna, Stora alvaret och sjömarkerna. I dag fortsätter lantbrukarna att odla jorden och låta sina djur beta. Tack vare lantbrukarna kan odlingslandskapet upplevas av nya generationer. Ett världsarv är en unik kultur- eller naturhistorisk miljö som vittnar om människans eller jordens historia. Det finns i dag drygt 1000 världsarv på FN-organisationen Unescos världsarvslista varav 15 finns i Sverige.

  • Postmortem Agency Following the Sandby Borg Massacre
    Social Implications of Unburied Corpses from Intergroup Conflicts: Postmortem Agency Following the Sandby borg Massacre Clara Alfsdotter A massacre took place inside the Sandby borg ringfort, southeast Sweden, at the end of the fifth century. The victims were not buried, but left where they died. In order to understand why the corpses were left unburied, and how they were perceived following the violent event, a theoretical framework is developed and integrated with the results of osteological analysis. I discuss the contemporary normative treatment of the dead, social response to death and postmortem agency with emphasis on intergroup conflict and ‘bad death’. The treatment of the dead in Sandby borg deviates from known contemporary practices. I am proposing that leaving the bodies unburied might be viewed as an aggressive social action. The corpses exerted postmortem agency to the benefit of the perpetrators, at the expense of the victims and their sympathizers. The gain for the perpetrators was likely political power through redrawing the victim’s biographies, spatial memory and the social and territorial landscape. The denial of a proper death likely led to shame, hindering of regeneration and an eternal state of limbo. Introduction materiality of the dead in Sandby borg was investi- gated. This led to the conclusion that the corpses Although research on mass violence and on corpor- were not manipulated following the massacre, but eality is extensive within the social sciences and seemingly left where they died (Alfsdotter et al. humanities (see Knüsel & Smith 2014; Martin et al. 2018; Alfsdotter & Kjellström 2018; in preparation). 2012, for bioarchaeological developments in violence In this article, I investigate the social response to research), the complexity of dead bodies in the con- the deaths in order to understand the contemporary text of mass violence is largely unexplored, despite implications of the Sandby borg corpses.

Sweden joined the EU in 1995. A unique limestone barren plain known as the Stora Alvaret lies on the island, having been used for grazing livestock for several thousand years. Visiting in 1741, Carl Linnaeus wrote that, "It is noteworthy how some plants are able to thrive on the driest and most barren places of the alvar"（3）. However, decreasing use over the last 30 years has led to the grasslands becoming overgrown, with many flowering plants (phanerogams) disappearing, leading to further deterioration. From 1996 onwards the South Öland agricultural landscape was re-recognized by the EU through the work of the LIFE Project, and registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2000. 1 Photo 1 Stora Alvaret – even the shrubby cinquefoil is grazed by cattle.

    Gotland University Press 5 Late Neolithic burial practice on the Island of Öland, southeast Sweden Ludvig Papmehl-Dufay, Kalmar County Museum/Linnaeus Universitet Abstract - This paper deals with Late Neolithic burials found on the Swedish Island of Öland in the Baltic Sea. A brief review of the hitherto known burials from this period on the Island is fol- lowed by the presentation of a recent find at Björnhovda, southwest Öland. Here at least one, and possibly as many as five, Late Neolithic traces of burials were found and excavated during autumn 2008. The site is presented in some detail, and these burials are compared to evidences presented in the brief review of Late Neolithic burial practices on Öland. In conclusion it is shown that burial customs during the Late Neolithic were greatly varied in this area, although a number of features can be identified which appear in the majority of the burials and thus possibly indicate some form of common customs. Introduction The Island of Öland is the second largest of the Swedish islands in the Baltic (Figure1). The bedrock consists mainly of Ordovician limestone, the topography is level and the highest point is around 58 m above present sea level. The Island is extremely rich in terms of prehistoric archaeological remains, consisting of visible monuments and sites as well as stray finds of prehistoric artefacts from all periods. The research to date has mainly concerned settlements and burials from the Iron Age, and until recently the Is- land’s Stone Age was sparsely known. A large-scale field survey, conducted in the mid 1990s, resulted in a vast increase of recorded Stone Age sites, and today a wealth of sites are known along the coasts of the Island.

  • The Viruan (Middle Ordovician) of Öland
    The Viruan (Middle Ordovician) of Öland By Valdar Jaanusson ABSTRACT.-The stratigraphy and lithology of the Viruan (Middle Ordovician) Iimestones of the bed-rock of Öland are described based on three bares and on field work in the outcrop area. A combined litho- and bio-stratigraphic classification (termed topo-stratigraphic) is introduced for the described sequence. The names of the Estonian stages (Aserian, Lasnamägian, Uhakuan, and Kukrusean) are used as chrono-stratigraphic references instead of the previous Swedish names of the units of stage category (Platyurus, Schroeteri, Crassicauda, and Ludibundus, re­ spectivcly). New topo-stratigraphic divisions are Segerstad Limestone (of Aserian age), Skärlöv, Seby, and Folkeslunda Limestones (of Lasnamägian age), Furudal, Källa, and Persnäs Lime­ stones (of Uhakuan age), and Dalby Limestone (of Kukrusean age in the bed-rock of Öland). The Aserian Lasnamägian topo-stratigraphic divisions have the same lithological characteris­ and tics throughout Öland. The Uhakuan beds are developed as calcilutites (Furudal Limestone) on southern Öland continuing as a tongue (Källa Limestone) on northern Öland. The middle and upper part of the Uhakuan beds of northern Öland consist of calcarenites (Persnäs Limestone) lithologically indistiguishable from the Kukrusean Dalby Limestone which forms the bed-rock only on northern Öland. Within the Segerstad Limestone two zones are distinguished (z. of Angelinoceras latum and z. of Illaenus planifrons).H ouvr ' s zones of Lituites discors, L. lituus, and L. perfectus are of Lasna­ mägian age, and their stratigraphic position and fauna! characteristics are described.

Box 524, Auckland Park, 2006, South Africa *Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Dry calcareous grasslands in Europe are renowned for their high plant diversity. However, declining habitat areas and highly fragmented distribution threaten the long-term persistence of this valuable habitat type. In Estonia the decline of traditional grassland management and subsequent encroachment of shrubs has resulted in a substantial loss of alvar grasslands – a particularly rare and species-rich type of calcareous grassland. It is known that a shrub cover of more than 70% decreases the alvar grassland species richness. At the same time, a shrub cover of 30% is considered optimal for alvar grasslands and thus a target state for habitat restoration. However, very little is known about the effect of low shrub cover on environmental conditions and species composition of alvar grasslands.
