The Distribution of Bronze Artefacts of Viking Age Eastern Baltic Types Discovered on Gotland Iron Age Networks and Identities The distribution of Bronze artefacts of Viking Age Eastern Baltic types discovered on Gotland Iron Age Networks and Identities Triangular dress pin discovered in Västerhejde; from the original catalogue of the Swedish History Museum, 1895 Gotland University 2013/Spring Master (one year) thesis/Magisteruppsats Author: Daniel Gunnarsson School of Culture, Energy and Environment 1 Supervisors: Helene Martinsson-Wallin & Alexander Andreeff Abstract This thesis has compared the distribution of certain types of Viking Age Eastern Baltic bronze artifacts discovered on Gotland. This was done in order to observe different parts of Gotland´s interaction with different groups in the Baltic Sea region and how this might have influenced the identities and ideas of the individuals involved in the interaction. The objects and their finding contexts were subjected to a geographical analysis and applied to a map of Viking Age Gotland. Different distribution can be observed for different types of artifacts, as well as a shift in patterns of interaction in the Baltic Sea region over time. Denna uppsats har jämfört spridningsmönstren för olika vikingatida objekt från Baltikum som påträffats på Gotland. Detta för att kunna studera hur olika delar av Gotland har interagerat med andra grupper i Östersjöregionen och hur detta kan ha influerat individens identiteter och idéer. Föremålen samt deras kontexter har analyserats geografiskt, samt applicerats på en karta över det vikingatida Gotland. Olika spridningsmönster kunde observeras för olika typer av artefakter. Även förändringar i interaktionsmönstret över tid i östersjöregionen kunde noteras.

dirhems which attract the attention. When connections with the Eastern Baltic area are discussed it is usually the Gotlandic material discovered overseas that is highlighted. However, a small and usually overlooked group of the rich archaeological material of Gotland are the artifacts originating from the Eastern Baltic area; indicating a network of interactions across the Baltic Sea. How these artifacts ended up on Gotland has been the subject of some debate. Partially, this is because of the different interpretations of the character of the interactions between different groups and individuals around the Baltic Sea in Late Iron Age. Obviously, there may be a different story behind each of these artifacts, as there are many ways in which humans interact with each other as well as with artifacts. Trade and plundering are the most obvious example of interaction, but also exogamy, tribute and gift giving are interaction that exchanges material artifacts, as well as the movement of the individuals owning or making the artifacts. All these forms of interaction are possible reasons for the Eastern Baltic artifacts to have ended up on Gotland. The different possible forms of exchange will be discussed, but the primary aim of this thesis is to explore the directions of the contacts rather than the means. Bronze

Högskolan på Gotland 2011/VT Kandidatuppsats i Arkeologi Författare: Louise Pettersson Pettersson, Louise.Avdelningen för Arkeologi/Institutionen för Kultur, Energi & Miljö Handledare: Gunilla Runesson I Vatten eller Jord? Nytolkning av depåfyndet från Eskelhem. In Water or Soil? Reinterpretation of the Eskelhem hoard. Abstract In 1886 Hans Hildebrand received a Bronze Age hoard found in a field that belonged to Eskelhem´s rectory. A record was made where Hildebrand presented and documented the artifacts. The following year Oscar Montelius reviewed the artifacts, which he described as horse gears. He compared the horse gears with similar artifacts found in Europe that roughly had the same dating in order to trace the origin of the hoard. Montelius conclusion was that the hoard was created on Gotland around 500 BC. The entire hoard was made of bronze except for one of the bridles that was made of iron. According to Montelius this would mean that iron and the knowledge of iron making already had been adapted on Gotland in the late Bronze Age. Also the bridles were used so Montelius discussed the presence of horses on Gotland in the late Bronze Age, and if they had been of the race Gotland pony. Over 100 years have passed since Montelius made his conclusion. The purpose of this paper is to see if Montelius conclusion on the Eskelhem hoard still holds, due to the progress of science, such as the discovery of new dating methodsand all new artifacts that have been found.

THE SUTTON HOO SHIP-BURIAL Recenttheoriesand somecommentsongeneralinterpretation By R. L. S. BRUCE-MITFORD, SEC. S.A. INTRODUCTION The Sutton Hoo ship-burial was discovered more than ten years ago. During these years especially since the end of the war in Europe has made it possible to continue the treatment and study of the finds and proceed with comparative research, its deep significance for general and art history, Old English literature and European archmology has become more and more evident. Yet much uncertainty prevails on general issues. Many questions cannot receive their final answer until the remaining mounds of the grave-field have been excavated. Others can be answered, or at any rate clarified, now. The purpose of this article is to clarify the broad position of the burial in English history and archmology. For example, it has been said that ' practically the whole of the Sutton Hoo ship-treasure is an importation from the Uppland province of Sweden. The great bulk of the work was produced in Sweden itself.' 1 Another writer claims that the Sutton Hoo ship- burial is the grave of a Swedish chief or king.' Clearly we must establish whether it is part of English archxology, or of Swedish, before we can start to draw from it the implications that we are impatient to draw.

    Gotlandic Villas Implications of the distribution of high status finds in Gotlandic Iron Age houses known as “kämpgravar” By: Jonathan Nilsson Two years master’s thesis in Archaeology Department of Archaeology and Ancient History Uppsala University: Campus Gotland Supervisor: Paul Wallin Co-supervisors: Gustaf Svedjemo & Alexander Andreeff Abstract Author: Jonathan Nilsson Swedish title: Gotländska Villor: Implikationer baserat på distributeringen av högstatusfynd i gotländska järnåldershus kallade ”kämpgravar”. English title: Gotlandic Villas: Implications of the Distribution of High Status Finds in Gotlandic Iron Age Houses Known as “kämpgravar”. Supervisors: Paul Wallin, Gustaf Svedjemo & Alexander Andreeff Swedish abstract: Det huvudsakliga målet med denna uppsats är dels att ge bra överblick över fynden som påträffats i de gotländska stengrundshusen (kämpgravar) som byggdes flitigt under järnåldern och att dels se om det är möjligt att separera vissa hus från andra och spåra social stratifikation och hierarkier baserat på fyndmaterialet. De föremål som var av speciellt intresse för detta mål är de som kan kopplas till rikedom såsom exempelvis exotiska dryckesföremål, romerska föremål och föremål av ädelmetall. Undersökningen har visat att det på Gotland faktiskt fanns en del, ofta enorma, hus som hade en speciell benägenhet att hamstra exotiska dyrgripar. De riktiga utstickarna på det här temat är huset känt som Stavgard och även den nyligen undersökta byggnaden i Hellvi. Båda hade rika mängder av dryckesobjekt såsom glaskärl och

Kartan från 1699 innehåller fler detaljer, men är svår att visa i låg förstoring. 2 Karta över Halla socken med omgivning omkr. 1890 [Generalstabskartan 1890]. Förord och förklaringar: Denna sammanställning av uppgifter om personer som har bott i Halla socken under huvudsakligen 1600-, 1700- och 1800-talen är upplagd ungefär som en församlingsbok eller husförhörslängd. Det innebär att personerna på varje gård eller varje kategori av folk (t.ex. båtsmän, torpare, inhysesfolk) redovisas familjevis var för sig, i tidsordning. I vissa fall förekommer förstås samma person eller familj på flera ställen, t.ex. om de har flyttat inom socknen eller bytt sysselsättning. I början av varje gård eller kategori finns en tabell med ett urval av kortfattade uppgifter från bl.a. mantalslängder. Syftet med tabellen är att ge en översikt över främst de äldre källuppgifterna (1500-1700-talen), i tidsordning. Med undantag för uppgifterna från 1500-1600-talen i tabellerna har gårdsnamnen normali- serats enligt skriften "Topografiskt register över gotländska socknar och gårdar", Lands- arkivet i Visby, 2001. Källor till gårdarnas bomärken är främst mantalslängder, kyrko- räkenskaper och bouppteckningar. Kartorna är i de flesta fall utdrag från skattläggnings- 3 kartorna från 1699, som finns tillgängliga på Lantmäteriets hemsida.

  • Swedbalt 20-40 TL
    1 Thomas Lundén draft 2018-09-02 The dream of a Balto-Scandian Federation: Sweden and the independent Baltic States 1918-1940 in geography and politics This paper will focus on the attempts by Swedish and Baltic geographers in the inter-war period to discuss a geopolitical regionalism defined by Sweden, Finland and the three Baltic States, and the political use of the so called Balto-Scandian concept1. Introduction For a long time in the 20th century, the Baltic region, or Baltikum2, here defined as the area south of the Gulf of Finland and east of the Baltic Sea, was more or less a white spot on the mental map of Swedish politicians and social scientists alike. The “inventor” of geopolitics, political scientist and conservative politician Rudolf Kjellén, urged for Swedish cultural and economic activism towards the Baltic part of Tsarist Russia (Marklund, 2014, 195-199, see also Kuldkepp, 2014, 126), but the program was never implemented, and the break-up of the Russian Empire and the new geopolitical situation, as well as Kjellén’s death in 1922, with a few exceptions put a new end to Swedish academic interests in the contemporary geopolitical situation of the area. From Eastern Baltic point of view, any super-state regionalism with Norden3 was primarily connected with Estonia, in combination with Sweden (Kuldkepp 2010, 49, 2015). Sweden and Estonia thus played a special role in the Baltic discussion about regionalism. The independence of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in 1919-1920 gave Sweden a geopolitical buffer to the neighboring great powers Russia/Soviet Union and Germany, which were initially weakened and politically unstable.
