  • Ritual Landscapes and Borders Within Rock Art Research Stebergløkken, Berge, Lindgaard and Vangen Stuedal (Eds)
    Stebergløkken, Berge, Lindgaard and Vangen Stuedal (eds) and Vangen Lindgaard Berge, Stebergløkken, Art Research within Rock and Borders Ritual Landscapes Ritual Landscapes and Ritual landscapes and borders are recurring themes running through Professor Kalle Sognnes' Borders within long research career. This anthology contains 13 articles written by colleagues from his broad network in appreciation of his many contributions to the field of rock art research. The contributions discuss many different kinds of borders: those between landscapes, cultures, Rock Art Research traditions, settlements, power relations, symbolism, research traditions, theory and methods. We are grateful to the Department of Historical studies, NTNU; the Faculty of Humanities; NTNU, Papers in Honour of The Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters and The Norwegian Archaeological Society (Norsk arkeologisk selskap) for funding this volume that will add new knowledge to the field and Professor Kalle Sognnes will be of importance to researchers and students of rock art in Scandinavia and abroad. edited by Heidrun Stebergløkken, Ragnhild Berge, Eva Lindgaard and Helle Vangen Stuedal Archaeopress Archaeology www.archaeopress.com Steberglokken cover.indd 1 03/09/2015 17:30:19 Ritual Landscapes and Borders within Rock Art Research Papers in Honour of Professor Kalle Sognnes edited by Heidrun Stebergløkken, Ragnhild Berge, Eva Lindgaard and Helle Vangen Stuedal Archaeopress Archaeology Archaeopress Publishing Ltd Gordon House 276 Banbury Road Oxford OX2 7ED www.archaeopress.com ISBN 9781784911584 ISBN 978 1 78491 159 1 (e-Pdf) © Archaeopress and the individual authors 2015 Cover image: Crossing borders.

  • Gerhard Bersu
    Gerhard Bersu Jauer (Silésia), 26 de setembro de 1889; Magdebourgo, 19 de novembro de 1964 Gerhard Bersu (1889-1964) foi um dos arqueólogos que mais marcou a Arqueologia europeia durante e após as duas guerras mundiais. Natural de Jauer, Silésia (Alemanha), Gerhard Bersu desenvolveu intensa actividade arqueológica, inicialmente nas escavações dirigidas por Carl Schuchardt em Romerschanz (Potsdam, 1907) posteriormente em Cucuteni (Roménia) sob direcção de Hubert Schmidt. Participa na Primeira Guerra Mundial na frente Oeste como oficial responsável por Monumentos e Colecções tendo sido posteriormente nomeado para integrar a delegação alemã do armistício. Em 1924 inicia a sua ligação com o Instituto Arqueológico Alemão na Römisch Germanische Kommission (RGK), em Frankfurt-am-Main. Em 1928 é nomeado segundo director e em 1931 chega a primeiro director do RGK, tornando este instituto num centro prestigiado da Arqueologia europeia com o desenvolvimento de técnicas de escavação avançadas. Em 1935 o governo Nazi, sob influência de Reinhardt, invocando a origem judaica, afasta Bersu da direcção do RGK, e em 1937 é reformado compulsivamente, interrompendo um importante trabalho de investigação, formação avançada e de publicações. Sob ameaça do regime Nazi, em 1937 Bersu vai radicar-se no Reino Unido onde retoma a actividade arqueológica em Little Woodbury. Os trabalhos desenvolvidos com a Prehistoric Society forneceram importantes elementos para interpretação das fases pré-romanas. Com o início da Segunda Guerra Mundial, Bersu, tal como outros compatriotas alemães, é internado na Ilha de Man com a sua mulher, Maria. Inicialmente são separados em campos de detenção masculinos e femininos e depois juntam-se no campo para internos casados em Port St Mary.

  • In the Landscape and Between Worlds
    In the Landscape and Between Worlds ronze age settlements and burials in the Swedish provinces around Lakes Mälaren and Hjälmaren yield few Bbronze objects and fewer of the era’s fine stone battle axes. Instead, these things were found by people working on wetland reclamation and stream dredging for about a century up to the Second World War. Then the finds stopped because of changed agricultural practices. The objects themselves have received much study. Not so with the sites where they were deposited. This book reports on a wide- ranging landscape-archaeological survey of Bronze Age deposition sites, with the aim to seek general rules in the placement of sites. How did a person choose the appropriate site to deposit a socketed axe in 800 bc? The author has investigated known sites on foot and from his desk, using a wide range of archive materials, maps and shoreline displacement data that have only recently come on-line. Over 140 sites are identified closely enough to allow characterisation of their Bronze Age landscape contexts. Numerous recurring traits emerge, forming a basic predictive or heuristic model. Bronze Age deposi- tion sites, the author argues, are a site category that could profitably be placed on contract archaeology’s agenda during infrastructure projects. Archaeology should seek these sites, not wait for others to report on finding them. martin rundkvist is an archaeologist who received his doctorate from Stockholm University in 2003. He has published research into all the major periods of Sweden’s post-glacial past. Rundkvist teaches prehistory at Umeå University, edits the journal Fornvännen and keeps the internationally popular Aardvarchaeology blog.

  • Rock Art Through Time: Scanian Rock Carvings in the Bronze Age and Earliest Iron Age by Peter Skoglund
    The Prehistoric Society Book Reviews ROCK ART THROUGH TIME: SCANIAN ROCK CARVINGS IN THE BRONZE AGE AND EARLIEST IRON AGE BY PETER SKOGLUND Swedish Rock Art Series Volume 5. Oxbow Books, Oxford. 2016. 160 pages. 70 figures (col and b/w) and 1 table. ISBN 9781785701641, hb, £20.00 This is the fifth volume in the Swedish Rock Art Series published by Oxbow Books and examines the petroglyphs of south-east Scania, Sweden in the vicinity around the city of Simrishamn. It presents a detailed reassessment of documented rock art scenes that range in date from the Bronze Age to the Early Iron Age approximately 1700–200 BC. The book also seeks to contextualise the cultural landscape of these panels in relation to archaeological sites and presents data on recent excavations carried out in the region. Chapter 1 is the Introduction and in addition to being a historical overview it also outlines the aims and objectives of analysis as well as the interpretative strategies. The earliest known researcher was Nils Gustaf Bruzelius who started studying the rock art of the region in the 1850s. He carried out archaeological excavations on burial mounds to establish the dating of rock imagery at Järrestad and his results were published in the early 1880s. Meanwhile, Oscar Montelius’s seminal research on the serialisation of Scandinavian metalwork into chronological periods became the basis of dating rock art carvings which feature identifiable artefacts, such as axe-head motifs. Montelius’s six period scheme is inescapable as it provides a chronological framework to Scandinavian rock art studies but it is argued by the author that it should not be an end in itself as other forms of data need to be considered.

  • Historiographical Approaches to Past Archaeological Research
    Historiographical Approaches to Past Archaeological Research Gisela Eberhardt Fabian Link (eds.) BERLIN STUDIES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD has become increasingly diverse in recent years due to developments in the historiography of the sciences and the human- ities. A move away from hagiography and presentations of scientifi c processes as an inevitable progression has been requested in this context. Historians of archae- olo gy have begun to utilize approved and new histo- rio graphical concepts to trace how archaeological knowledge has been acquired as well as to refl ect on the historical conditions and contexts in which knowledge has been generated. This volume seeks to contribute to this trend. By linking theories and models with case studies from the nineteenth and twentieth century, the authors illuminate implications of communication on archaeological knowledge and scrutinize routines of early archaeological practices. The usefulness of di erent approaches such as narratological concepts or the concepts of habitus is thus considered. berlin studies of 32 the ancient world berlin studies of the ancient world · 32 edited by topoi excellence cluster Historiographical Approaches to Past Archaeological Research edited by Gisela Eberhardt Fabian Link Bibliographic information published by the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek The Deutsche Nationalbibliothek lists this publication in the Deutsche Nationalbibliographie; detailed bibliographic data are available in the Internet at http://dnb.d-nb.de. © 2015 Edition Topoi / Exzellenzcluster Topoi der Freien Universität Berlin und der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Typographic concept and cover design: Stephan Fiedler Printed and distributed by PRO BUSINESS digital printing Deutschland GmbH, Berlin ISBN 978-3-9816384-1-7 URN urn:nbn:de:kobv:11-100233492 First published 2015 The text of this publication is licensed under Creative Commons BY-NC 3.0 DE.

The Scottish Iron Age provides rich data of international quality to link into broader, European-wide research questions, such as that from wetlands and the well-preserved and deeply-stratified settlement sites of the Atlantic zone, from crannog sites and from burnt-down buildings. The nature of domestic architecture, the movement of people and resources, the spread of ideas and the impact of Rome are examples of topics that can be explored using Scottish evidence. The period is therefore important for understanding later prehistoric society, both in Scotland and across Europe. There is a long tradition of research on which to build, stretching back to antiquarian work, which represents a considerable archival resource.

Oscar Montelius’s Om lifvet i Sverige under hednatiden and Johan Reinhold Aspelin’s Suomen asukkaat Pakanuuden aikana – concepts of Us and the Other and explanations of change. Fornvännen 112. Stockholm This study compares two late-19th century popular books on prehistory from the perspective of how they look at us and the other. The works are Oscar Montelius’s Om lifvet i Sverige under hednatiden (“On life in Sweden in heathen times”, 1873, 2nd ed., 1878) and Johan Reinhold Aspelin’s Suomen asukkaat Pakanuuden aikana (“The inhabitants of Finland in heathen times”, 1885). Montelius constructs sameness and otherness in terms of time, space, and stages of cultural development in a framework of progress. His most crucial region- al concept is nordbo, “Nordic inhabitant”, which he ascribes an ethnic meaning from the Early Iron Age onwards. In Montelius’s view, the peoples of Europe are con- nected by a network of trade and innovation, and diffusion spreads ideas from more developed to less developed peoples.

  • Scientific Capital After 1945 in German Archaeology – Wilhelm Unverzagt and the Archaeology of Hillforts
    Archaeologia Polona, vol. 50 : 2012(2019), 85–109 PL ISSN 0066 - 5924 Scientific Capital after 1945 in German Archaeology – Wilhelm Unverzagt and the Archaeology of Hillforts Susanne Grunwalda Strong continuity is visible in German archaeology between the 1930s and 1940s and the years after 1945. How can this be explained in the face of the total exchange of political structures ideologies and protagonists? In my opinion, there are two reasons for this phenomenon. Firstly: the stability of the network of the German archaeology especially and of related German disci- plines in general. These networks were strong enough to outlive the dictatorship and the war and most of the protagonists were flexible enough to gain from them. The second reason is that some fields of research were more attractive than others and absorbed money, attention and support. Scientists in these fields became influential in the archaeological network and were supported by their colleagues. They became able to transfer their topics into the frameworks afforded by the new political and scientific systems as a kind of scientific capital. Hillfort research was one of these successful fields and Wilhelm Unverzagt (1892–1971) was one of the most influential pro- tagonists of it. This paper will illustrate a strong continuity in East German archaeology before and after 1945 on the basis of his work at the German Academy of Sciences in East Berlin. KEY-WORDS: history of archaeology, East Germany, hillforts, Wilhelm Unverzagt The year 1945 and the period after the end of the Second World War have been considered until today not only as a political turning point of the German and European history but also as a caesura in the history of the study of German pre- and protohistory (Kossack 1999: 92; Schnurbein 2002: 16–17; Schachtmann et al., 2012).

  • Étude Sur Quelques Éléments Figuratifs Des Statues-Menhirs Et Stèles Européennes Du Néolithique À L'age Du Bronze
    Étude sur quelques éléments figuratifs des statues-menhirs et stèles européennes du Néolithique à l'Age du Bronze Lhonneux Tatiana Master en histoire de l'art et archéologie Orientation générale – Option générale – Finalité approfondie Directeur : Pierre Noiret Lecteurs : Marcel Otte – Nicolas Cauwe Volume II Université de Liège – Faculté de Philosophie et Lettres Année académique 2018-2019 Introduction Ce catalogue rassemble 217 statues-menhirs et stèles européennes, reprises dans un recueil d'illustrations. J'ai tenté de diversifier les types de documents par des photographies en noir et blanc, en couleur et par des dessins. Il faut préciser toutefois que certains clichés présentent une qualité médiocre, faute d'avoir mieux à proposer. Certaines périodes, plus anciennes, posent plus de problématiques que d’autres, c’est la raison pour laquelle j’ai décidé de me concentrer sur elles : il s’agit du Néolithique, du Chalcolithique ainsi que de l’Age du Bronze. La datation des monuments peut varier au cours de mon analyse. Je me suis basée, en effet, sur les chronologies les plus fréquentes afin de placer les monuments dans une période donnée. Pour s'entendre sur les termes utilisés, vous trouverez, ci-dessous, une définition de chaque type de sculptures : – statue-menhir : L'expression « statue-menhir » a été créée par l'abbé Hermet1: c'est d'abord une statue, sous la forme d'une pierre épaisse ovale, ogivale ou rectangulaire2, s'efforçant à représenter un corps humain par son bas-relief et une silhouette humaine par sa mise en forme. Sa réalisation peut être grossière ou stylisée. C'est, ensuite, une sculpture qui se dresse comme un menhir3 (terme apparu pour la première fois sous la plume de l'abbé Hermet en 1891) fichée en terre.
