  • Systems of Settlement Hierarchy
    Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Viking and Medieval Norse Studies Systems of Settlement Hierarchy A study of Husby, Central Places, and Settlement in the Mälaren Region from an Archaeological Perspective. Ritgerð til MA-prófs í Viking and Medieval Norse Studies Karl Troxell Kt.: 050994-4229 Leiðbeinandi: Orri Vésteinsson June 2019 Abstract The study of the settlement landscape of Late Iron Age, Viking Age, and Medieval Scandinavia has often focused on questions concerning the development of socio-political organization and its effect on the regional organization of settlement. In the Mälaren region in central Sweden scholars have relied on theoretical models of social and settlement hierarchy developed over nearly a century of discourse. The framework for these models was initially built on sparse literary, historical, and linguistic evidence, with archaeological material only being considered more systematically in recent decades, and then only in a secondary capacity. These considerations only being made to shed light on the existing theoretical framework. No general examination of the archaeological material has taken place to corroborate these models of settlement hierarchy based purely on an archaeological perspective. This thesis reviews the models of settlement hierarchy and social organization proposed for the Mälaren region in the Late Iron Age through Medieval Period and examines how they hold up in the face of the available archaeological evidence. It finds that while much more systematic archaeological research is necessary, the available evidence calls for a serious restructuring of these theoretical frameworks. i Ágrip Rannsóknir á landsháttum síðari hluta járnaldar, víkingaaldar og miðalda á Norðurlöndum hafa að stórum hluta miðað að því að varpa ljósi á álitamál um þróun valdakerfa og um áhrif þeirra á skipulag byggðar.

  • Viking-Age Runic Plates of the Runic Plates Have Been Conducted with a Stereomicroscope for This Purpose
    The aim of this dissertation is to represent as clearly as possible the genre of Viking- Age runic plates by developing readings and interpretations of the inscriptions on the 46 metal plates with runes from the Viking Age known today. Several investigations SOFIA PERESWETOFF-MORATH • • PERESWETOFF-MORATH SOFIA Viking-Age Runic Plates of the runic plates have been conducted with a stereomicroscope for this purpose. On the basis of the new readings thus established, new interpretations have been pro- posed for the most problematic sections of previously interpreted inscriptions. New interpretations are also offered for inscriptions on runic plates which have previously been considered non-lexical. As well as providing new readings and interpretations, this study has resulted in clarification of the relationship between the form and content of the inscriptions on the runic plates on the one hand and on their find circumstances and appearance on the other. An argued documentation of the readings can be found in an accompanying catalogue in Swedish which is published digitally and can be downloaded as a pdf file at: <http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-383584> Viking-Age Runic Plates Viking-Age Distribution: Sofia Pereswetoff-Morath eddy.se ab e-post: [email protected] ISSN 0065-0897 and Box 1310, 621 24 Visby.

[email protected] Department of Archaeology and Ancient History Uppsala University, Sweden ABSTRACT John Ljungkvist & Per Frölund 2015. Gamla Uppsala – the emergence of a cen- tre and a magnate complex. The emergence of Gamla Uppsala as a centre has been discussed for centuries. During the past years, old excavations have been incorporated into the frame-work of the archaeological research project Gamla Uppsala - the emergence of a mythical centre (GUAM), with GIS and excavations in combination with survey results and reinterpretations, as old excavations are placed in relation to new investigations. This article is based on the results from excavations in 2011 and 2015 and studies of previous investigations in the light of new results. We have chosen to present a stand der forschung of what we currently know about the 6th to 8th century estate in the centre of Gamla Uppsala, how it emerges as part of an un- paralleled monumentalization of the area, what we know of a Migration Period prelude and its transformation during the 8th/9th century.

Towards a standardized discussion of priors in Bayes- ian analyses of 14C dated archaeological periods: A study based on the dates from Gjøsund. This article focuses on Swedish and Scandinavian contract archaeology and14 C dating. It is a follow-up of a case study by Diinhoff and Slinning (2013), who discuss the 14C dating of a house from the Early Iron Age at Gjøsund, Ålesund, Norway. Their discussion is methodical and well-focussed, but intuitive when it comes to analysing 14C dates as probability distributions. Taking the case study forward, the same house is dated again using the same 14C dates. In the present contribution, the discussion is meant to suggest a more standardized approach to the chronological analysis of 14C dates of periods, such as the lifetime of a house. Having presented a methodical procedure, Diinhoff and Slinning’s case is up- dated following the suggested procedure. Finally, their 14C dates are introduced to Bayesian statistics using the BCal calibration tool, Beck et al.

  • Viking Warrior Women?
    Viking warrior women? Reassessing Birka chamber grave Bj.581 Neil Price1,*, Charlotte Hedenstierna-Jonson1, Torun Zachrisson2, 3 3 3 4 Anna Kjellström , Jan Storå , Maja Krzewinská , Torsten Günther , Research Verónica Sobrado3, Mattias Jakobsson5 & Anders Götherström3 The warrior woman has long been part of the Viking image, with a pedigree that extends from the Valkyries of Old Norse prose and poetry to modern media entertainment. Until recently, however, actual Viking Age evidence for such individuals has been sparse. This article addresses research showing that the individual buried at Birka in an ‘arche- typal’ high-status warrior grave—always assumed to be male since its excavation in 1878—is, in fact, biologically female. Publi- cation, in 2017, of the genomic data led to unprecedented public debate about this indi- vidual. Here, the authors address in detail the interpretation of the burial, discussing source-critical issues and parallels. Keywords: Sweden, Birka, Viking Age, female warriors, aDNA Introduction The Viking Age (c. AD 750–1050) witnessed a complex Scandinavian diaspora that brought fundamental and lasting transformations to the northern world (Brink & Price 2008).

  • Non Government Organisations' Archives in the Information Age
    Non Government Organisations' Archives in the Information Age Aim of the project The aim of the project is to capture born digital records and to digitize corresponding paper documents from Non Government Organisations (NGO:s). The materials will be curated and preserved in an electronic archival system which will increase its accessability. The project will focus on the capture of records central to the decision-making process and the economy of the organisations (minutes and its appendices, book-keeping). The relevant time-frame is from the 1990s and onwards. The spatial frame will be the local and regional organisations within Uppsala county. As NGO:s adapts their record-keeping to digital information technology, this also prevents them from delivering their archives to the archival institutions for curation, long-term preservation and re-use. This is likely to compromise the evidential value of the records and will create discontinuity of the archival evidence. The project address this discontinuity – and hence eliminate the creation of a ”black hole” in the digital information. The archives usefulness for research communities Folkrörelsearkivet för Uppsala län (The Uppsala County Popular Movement Archives) is an archival repository with a collection of archives, from Uppsala cpunty: a region north of Stockholm with approximately 360 000 inhabitants on 8209 square kilometers. The archives contains a wide range of associations in Uppsala county: labour unions, political parties, women's organisations, temperance orders, cooperatives and economic associations, religious congregations, peace and defence organisation etc. All in all, the repository houses more than 3 500 different archives from the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries.1 Folkrörelsearkivet is also in itself an association of organisations, close to 600 members use the repository as a deposit for their records, with a consent that the depository also will be accessible for research.
