The period covered is 2000-2003. Seminar papers are written in the third and fourth terms of undergraduate studies in Sweden, and are often considered to contain solid archaeological researchwork and interesting conclusions. Consequently the purpose of this bibliographical series is to make these efforts and results more known and easily accessible. Previous volumes of Swedish Seminar Papers in Archaeology have been issued in the Swedish Archaeological Bibliography (SAB) and Stockholm Archaeological Reports (SAR) series. These are available from the Department of Archaeology, Stockholm University, as follows: Period Reference 1939-1970 SAB vol. 5 (1966-1970). Stockholm 1972. 1971-1975 SAB vol. 6 (1971-1980). Stockholm 1978. 1976-1980 SAR #16. Stockholm 1984. 1981-1990 SAR #28. Stockholm 1994. 1991-1996 SAR #34. Stockholm 1998 1997-1999 SAR #38. Stockholm 2000 This volume will, however, only be available as a pdf-file. The bibliography has been compiled from lists forwarded by 46 university departments. The addresses to these departments are found at the end of the document. In addition to these, a number of contacted departments had produced no unpublished seminar papers of interest to archaeology. The present volume is organized according to the same principles as its forerunner. In each reference the original title of the paper is given in italics, followed by a translation into English. Alphabetization follows the Swedish standard, where the diacritic vowels (Å, Ä and Ö) are placed last in the alphabet after Z. The sectional division is also similar to the previous volume. The papers have been sorted geographically to begin with and subsequently chronologically, except for a number of clearly- defined subdivisions (i.e Medieval Art and Ecclesiastical Architecture, Saami-Germanic Studies, Philology, Numismatics, Maritime Archaeology, Osteology and Odontology, Philosophy of Science, History of Scholarship and Managing the Remains) which have received sections of their own. Due to the fact that the categorization is based on the titles, there may be a small number of misplaced papers. Most of the papers with enigmatic titles have been placed in the miscellaneous section, though. The chronological terms follow the Scandinavian division of periods. The absolute dates are as follows: The Paleolithic: c. 15000-8300 BC The Mesolithic: c. 8300-4200 BC The Neolithic: c. 4200-1800 BC The Bronze Age: c. 1800-500 BC The Early Iron Age: c. 500 BC-400 AD The Late Iron Age: c. 400-1066 AD The Middle Ages: c. 1066-1523 AD The easiest way to get hold of copies of the papers listed in this bibliography is to order them from the university departments at which they have been marked. The departments are indicated with an acronym at the end of each reference. An index of these acronyms, including addresses to the departments, is found at the end of the book. The Library of the Royal Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities (Vitterhetsakademiens bibliotek), situated at Storgatan 41 in Stockholm, maintains an extensive collection of seminar papers in archaeology. Copies may also be found in the libraries of the universities at which the papers have been marked and in the libraries of other universities’ departments of the same discipline. This bibliography has been compiled with generous support from the Helge Ax:son Johnson Foundation. Stockholm, 18 June 2006 Mattias Asplund & Marjatta Puurunen Trends of undergraduate research themes The table below, based upon the previous one in SAR #38 and the content of this volume, shows the mean number of papers of interest to archaeology per annum in each category during different periods from 1951 up to 2003. The data from the different periods are not fully comparable due to various collection practices (i.e. the number of university departments contacted) and differing categorization techniques. Nevertheless, some interesting trends can be crystallized. The number of papers per annum in North European archaeology has decreased significantly since the previous volume of Swedish Seminar Papers in Archaeology. The decrease is noticeable in all categories except for the Bronze Age, Human Geography and Agricultural Studies (which didn’t get a separate section in the previous volume of this bibliography) and Saami-Germanic Studies. The increased number of papers in the categories of Laboratory Analysis, Heritage Manage- ment and Museology is partly explained by the fact that more university departments in these areas were contacted than in the previous volumes, but it may also reflect a bigger interest in these subjects. Classical archaeology, however, has by far the biggest increase of papers per annum. This is a trend that has become stronger in recent years. Other trend breaks are either haphazard (some of the contacted departments didn’t write back) or to small to mention. Overall, the table and the graph below show an immense increase of graduate studies in archaeology during the 1990s. Particularly Iron Age studies rose sharply in popularity. In recent years this trend has become weaker, which partly is due to the decreased number of students in North European archaeology. Classical archaeology keeps getting more popular, though.
