Death's Reflection in the Water Version 2021-02-17 Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historia Death’s reflection in the water Mortuary ritual, ancestral worship and the cosmological significance of water on the island of Gotland during the Pitted Ware culture Maja Hed BA thesis 15 credits in archaeology Spring term 2021 Supervisor: Terje Östigård Campus Engelska Parken Abstract Hed, M. 2021. Death’s reflection in the water – Mortuary ritual, ancestral worship and the cosmological significance of water on the island of Gotland during the Pitted Ware culture. Hed, M. 2021. Dödens reflektion i vattnet – Gravritualer, förfädersdyrkan och vattnets kosmologiska signifikans under gropkeramisk kultur på Gotland. (English) The Pitted Ware culture on Gotland presents a multitude of material that allow archeologists to re-construct and visit the socio-economic structure of a middle-neolithic settlement in the Baltic sea. I will be analyzing the archaeological material in accordance to the ocean, and to what we can interpret as ritual and cosmological variables at the site through ritual theory, and with a method of comparative analogy and research. How maritime aspects of divinity manifested itself to the PWC, ontology and belief system could perhaps reveal how the cognitive, collective mind of one culture evolved and made connections to otherworldly entities. Often in the form of ancestral worship, which will be one of the main issues that will be analyzed and discussed throughout, in addition to mortuary ritual. (Swedish/Svenska) Den Gropkeramiska kulturen på Gotland demonstrerar ett extensivt material som tillåter arkeologer att rekonstruera och besöka den socioekonomiska strukturen hos en mellanneolitisk kultur i Östersjön. Jag kommer att analysera materialet i relation till havet, och försöka utgöra havets rituella och kosmologiska kopplingar till lokalen genom ritualteori och en analogisk, komparativ metod. Sättet som maritima aspekter av gudomlighet manifesterade sig inom den Gropkeramiska kulturen på Gotland, dess ontologi och trossystem kan möjligtvis avslöja hur det kollektiva, kognitiva sinnet hos en kultur utvecklades och skapade kontakter till utomvärldsliga ting. Ofta i form av förfädersdyrkan, som tillsammans med begravningsritualer kommer vara ett centralt ämne genom hela uppsatsen.

I would like to extend my gratitude mainly to my supervisor Terje Oestigaard. Not only for helping me find relevant literature, information and case studies, but also for inspiring me and keeping me motivated to peruse my interest of ritual and water as a combined element. It has been a pleasure to share theories and discuss the amazing science of archaeology with him. Further, I would like to thank Paul Wallin for discussing my several theories on the Ajvide burial ground and humoring my numerous amount of emails and questions, and also for providing me with such interesting literature on the subject. Of course, my fellow students that have helped me throughout my time as a bachelor student also deserve a sincere thank you.

  • New Dates for the Late Neolithic Corded Ware Culture Burials and Early Husbandry in the East Baltic Region
    Archaeofauna 16 (2007): 21-31 New dates for the Late Neolithic Corded Ware Culture burials and early husbandry in the East Baltic region LEMBI LÕUGAS1, AIVAR KRIISKA2 & LIINA MALDRE3 1 Institute of History, Tallinn University, Rüütli 6, EE10130 Tallinn, Estonia. e-mail: [email protected] 2 Department of History, Tartu University, Ülikooli 18, EE50090 Tartu, Estonia. 3 Institute of History, Tallinn University, Rüütli 6, EE10130 Tallinn, Estonia. (Received December 18, 2006; Revised April 10, 2007; Accepted April 16, 2007) ABSTRACT: The appearance of the Corded Ware Culture in the eastern Baltic area has been associated with the beginning of animal husbandry in this region. The culture is quite well re- presented by artefacts around the Baltic Sea basin, whereas its animal bone material seems to have been partly mixed with either that of the Combed Ware Culture, whose economy was based on hunting, fishing and gathering, or with later material. Radiocarbon dates have placed the beginning of the Corded Ware Culture in the eastern Baltic region in the time interval 3000- 2700 cal BC. New dates from Estonia confirm that the phenomenon appeared here at that time. The beginning of animal husbandry in the East Baltic is discussed on the basis of the new dates and the animal bone finds from Corded Ware Culture settlement sites and burials. Important fac- tors in the spreading of early farming in addition to climate, were geographical and environ- mental conditions. KEYWORDS: EAST BALTIC, ESTONIA, LATE NEOLITHIC, CORDED WARE CUL- TURE, DOMESTIC ANIMALS RESUMEN: La cultura de las cerámicas cordadas en el Báltico oriental se asocia con el inicio de la ganadería en la zona.

  • Neolithic Farmers in Poland - a Study of Stable Isotopes in Human Bones and Teeth from Kichary Nowe in the South of Poland
    Neolithic farmers in Poland - A study of stable isotopes in human bones and teeth from Kichary Nowe in the south of Poland Master thesis in archaeological science Archaeological Research Laboratory Stockholm University Supervisors: Kerstin Lidén and Gunilla Eriksson Author: Staffan Lundmark Cover photo: Mandible from the Kichary Nowe site, photo taken by the author Abstract: The diet of the Stone Age cultures is a strong indicator to the social group, thus farmers and hunters can be distinguished through their diet. There is well-preserved and well excavated Polish skeletal material available for such a study but the material has not previously been subject to stable isotopes analyses and therefore the questions of diets has not been answered. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of the cultures in the Kichary Nowe 2 area in the Lesser Poland district in southern Poland. Through analysis of the stable isotopes of Carbon, Nitrogen and Sulphur in the collagen of teeth and skeletal bones from the humans in the Kichary Nowe 2 grave-field and from bones from the fauna, coeval and from the same area, the study will establish whether there were any sharp changes of diets. The material from the grave-field comes from cultures with an established agricultural economy, where their cultural belonging has been anticipated from the burial context. The results from my study of stable isotopes from the bone material will be grouped by various parameters, culture, attribution to sex and age. The groups will then be compared to each other to investigate patterns within and between the groups.

Known archaeologically as the Early and Middle Neolithic, this prehistoric period is disputed among archaeologists and food-related evidence is especially contested. This research explores food-related evidence from new angles in that traditional approaches to diet are abandoned in favour of smaller- scale study of cookery practices.

  • Of Maces and Men Symbols in a Landscape of Cultural Diversity
    Journal of Nordic Archaeological Science 14, pp. 71–78 (2004) Of maces and men Symbols in a landscape of cultural diversity Lars Larsson Department of Archaeology and Ancient History, Sandg. 1, SE-223 50 Lund, Sweden ([email protected]) Norms and conventions have applied to most of our material culture. This seems to be especially obvious regarding Neolithic flint axes. The distinction between the unpolished and the polished flint axe is one aspect of the symbol- ism that is inherent in or ascribed to the axes when they become maces, with an important position in social life. The individuals and the society become not only owners of axes but also holders of maces. Maces and man became in- teracting entities. Never, or very rarely, was an unpolished axe deposited in a grave, while it was fully accepted as part of a hoard. It is reasonable to work on the assumption that the Neolithic societies gave at least some parts of their ma- terial culture characteristics similar or corresponding to the human members. Axes, like humans, were integrated into everyday life, being involved in cer- emonies dependent on regularly recurring characteristics. Interaction between the human and the material cultural sphere, or at least some of the material culture, seems to be much closer or even more integrated than has usually been assumed. Keywords: axes, landscape, Neolithic, Southern Scandinavia Introduction struct particular types of meanings and values in spe- The ideas presented here emanate from the basic con- cific ways. Rather than ritual as a means of expressing ceptions of practice theory in ritual studies, with the authority, practice theorists tend to explore how ritual four significant concepts of practice, structure, agent is a vehicle for the construction of relationships of au- and history (Ortner 1989; Sahlins 2000).

  • Changing Perspectives Thin Section and ICP Analysis of Neolithic
    Changing perspectives Thin section and ICP analysis of Neolithic pottery from the Åland Islands TORBJÖRN BRORSSON1 , JENNI LUCENIUS2 & NIKLAS STENBÄCK3 1Kontoret för Keramiska Studier, Nyhamnsläge, Sweden, [email protected] 2Kulturbyrån, Ålands landskapsregering, Mariehamn, Åland, [email protected] 3Societas Archaeologica Uppsaliensis, Uppsala, Sweden, [email protected] Abstract The location of the Åland Islands in the Baltic Sea during the Neolithic period influenced its material culture and pottery traditions. This study challenges the focus on typology by examining the technical composition of the ceramic ware and its provenance. The methods used are ICP analysis (Inductively Coupled Plasma Analysis) and analysis of thin sections of the clay used. The study includes Early and Late Comb Ware, Jettböle I and II type of Swedish Pitted Ware and Kiukais Ware. Some sherds, interpreted as combining influences from both Comb and Pitted Wares, and representing the transition from one to the other, display a reinforcement of earlier pottery traditions. The thin section analysis indicates a local technological continuity in the pottery traditions visible in the preferred clay. A chronological difference in the choice and handling of the temper suggests different preferences within traditions. The ICP analysis indicates that some of the artefacts, for example, a clay figurine seems to be of non-Åland origin.

  • The Wild Side of the Neolithic
    The Wild Side of the Neolithic A study of Pitted Ware diet and ideology through analysis of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes in skeletal material from Korsnäs, Grödinge parish, Södermanland Elin Fornander CD-uppsats i laborativ arkeologi 2005/2006 Handledare: Gunilla Eriksson & Kerstin Lidén Arkeologiska forskningslaboratoriet Stockholms universitet Abstract The Pitted Ware Culture site Korsnäs in Södermanland, Sweden presents a, for the region, unique amount of preserved organic material suitable for chemical analyses. Human and faunal skeletal material has been subjected to stable isotope analysis with the aim of examining whether the diet of the Korsnäs people correlates with the seal-based subsistence of Pitted Ware Culture groups on the Baltic islands. Further, the relationship between the faunal assemblage and the human diet has been studied, and the debated question of whether the Pitted Ware people kept domestic pigs has been adressed. Ten new radiocarbon dates are presented, which place the excavated area of the site in Middle Neolithic A, with a continuity of several hundred years. The results show that the diet of the Korsnäs people was predominantly based on seal, and seal hunting was probably an essential part of the Pitted Ware Culture identity. Based on the dietary pattern of the species, it is argued that the pigs were not domestic. The faunal assemblage, dominated by seal and pig bones, does not correlate with the dietary pattern, and it is suggested that wild boar might have been hunted and sacrificed and/or ritually eaten on certain occasions.

  • Analysis of Late Mid-Neolithic Pottery Illuminates the Presence of a Corded Ware Culture on the Baltic Island of Gotland
    Documenta Praehistorica XLII (2015) Analysis of late mid-Neolithic pottery illuminates the presence of a Corded Ware Culture on the Baltic Island of Gotland Erik Palmgren 1, Helene Martinsson-Wallin 2 1 Visby, SE [email protected] 2 Department of Archaeology and Ancient History, Uppsala University, SE [email protected] ABSTRACT – In this paper, we discuss variations seen in the ornamentation and modes of manu- facturing pottery from the end of the mid-Neolithic 4600–4300 BP on the Island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea. The Pitted Ware cultural groups have been discussed as a western influence from the Swe- dish mainland, but the aDNA on skeletal remains point to eastern influences. We analyse and dis- cuss pottery from the well-investigated Ajvide Pitted Ware site and what these variations mean in term of intra- and inter-island relationships, ethnicity and change, and we suggest the development of what could be described as a hybrid culture.
