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.

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. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT DEVIANT BURIALS IN VIKING-AGE SCANDINAVIA The thesis brings together information yielded from archaeology and other sources to provide an overall picture of the types of burial practices encountered during the Viking-Age in Scandinavia. From this, an attempt is made to establish deviancy. Comparative evidence, such as literary, runic, legal and folkloric evidence will be used critically to shed perspective on burial practices and the artefacts found within the graves. The thesis will mostly cover burials from the Viking Age (late 8th century to the mid- 11th century), but where the comparative evidence dates from other periods, its validity is discussed accordingly. Two types of deviant burial emerged: the criminal and the victim. A third type, which shows distinctive irregularity yet lacks deviancy, is the healer/witch burial. -

Archaeological University Education and Professional Archaeology in Sweden Stig Welinder
209 Archaeological University Education and Professional Archaeology in Sweden Stig Welinder During the 19'" century very few persons in Sweden recieved a doctoral degree in archaeology. Most of them found prestigious top-positions. Today there are about 100 persons with Ph. D.'s working in Swedish archaeology in positions from the top to the bottom of the professional hierarchy. Each year 150-200 students finish their basic education in archaeology. Most of them will never find a permanent full-time job as an archaeologist. The future of Swedish archaeology will very much depend on the ambitions of the general public, including tens of thousands of persons with a formal university education in archaeology but no job within the profession.

Sutton Hoo och Beowulf Lindqvist, Sune Fornvännen 94-110 http://kulturarvsdata.se/raa/fornvannen/html/1948_094 Ingår i: samla.raa.se SUTTON HOO OCH BEOWULF* Av Sune Lindqvist D'e.n 14 augusti 1939 godtog en engelsk domstol under handläggning av ett rättstall en bevisning av säregen art. Det gällde att avgöra äganderätten till ett planmässigt ur en forntida gravhög framgrävt fynd av utomordentligt vetenskapligt men också betydande materiellt värde. Vid Sutton Hoo, nära Ipswich på Suftolks kust, nordost om London, hade man uppdagat det rikaste gravinventarium, som över huvud grävts fram inom norra och mellersta Europa åtminstone allt sedan frankerkonungen Childerik 1:8 grav år 1653 öppnades vid Tournai i norra Frankrike. Ett klinkbyggt fartyg av 24 m:s längd och 4,5 m:s bredd — till for men närmast erinrande om den bekanta ekbåten från Nydam — hade sänkts ner i en ungefärligen mot dess djup svarande ränna, som man för ändamålet grävt i strandbräddens sand. I fartygets mittre del restes ett sadeltak av trä, stött mot relingarna, 5,8 m långt, i ömse ändar slutet av trekantiga gavelfält av trä, I övrigt hade hela skepps rummet fyllts ut till marknivån med den uppskottade sanden; det skedde förmodligen innan gravsättningen företogs. Allt gravgods, varav spår iakttagits, lades i varje fall samlat i kammaren, som efteråt doldes under en 20—24 m vid och 3 m hög kulle av grästorvor. Allt delta kunde noggrant iakttagas, ehuru träet upplösts och en dast efterlämnat en mörk avtärgning av kontaktytorna. Båtnitarna lågo kvar i tydliga rader. Gravrummet innehöll en rik vapenrustning — hjälm, sköld, svärd med gehäng, flera spjut och pilar in. -

På terrass IV, den senast undersökta terrassanläggningen (jäm för Fornvännen 19571), har sålunda påträffats två runda genom brutna spännen tillhörande en typ av skivspännen, som ibland kallats hjulformiga spännen eller som här nedan fyrpasspännen.* Det ena spännet, fig. 1 c, som är av brons med ädelpatina, är svagt kupigt med skråställd ram och genombrutet i fyrpassform, så att dess inre del bildar ett likarmat kors med svängda sidor och ett rombiskt mitthål. Ramen är försedd med en stämpeldekor, bestående av en rad motställda trianglar och på korsarmarna ses en motsvarande rad av enkla punktstämplar. Fibulanålen är av järn. Det andra spännet skiljer sig från ovannämnda spänne endast genom att .stämpeldekoren här består av mindre trianglar, någol oregelbundet salta. Spännen av denna typ bilda en sluten grupp, som utmärkes av det genombrutna fyrpasset, som i ett fåtal fall kan vara dubblerat, fig. 1 d.

Dyeing Sutton Hoo Nordic Blonde: an Interpretation of Swedish Influences on the East Anglian Gravesite
DYEING SUTTON HOO NORDIC BLONDE: AN INTERPRETATION OF SWEDISH INFLUENCES ON THE EAST ANGLIAN GRAVESITE Casandra Vasu A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2008 Committee: Andrew Hershberger, Advisor Charles E. Kanwischer © 2008 Casandra Vasu All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Hershberger, Advisor Nearly seventy years have passed since the series of tumuli surrounding Edith Pretty’s estate at Sutton Hoo in Eastern Suffolk, England were first excavated, and the site, particularly the magnificent ship-burial and its associated pieces located in Mound 1, remains enigmatic to archaeologists and historians. Dated to approximately the early seventh century, the Sutton Hoo entombment retains its importance by illuminating a period of English history that straddles both myth and historical documentation. The burial also exists in a multicultural context, an era when Scandinavian influences factored heavily upon society in the British Isles, predominantly in the areas of art, religion and literature. Literary works such as the Old English epic of Beowulf, a tale of a Geatish hero and his Danish and Swedish counterparts, offer insight into the cultural background of the custom of ship-burial and the various accoutrements of Norse warrior society. Beowulf may hold an even more specific affinity with Sutton Hoo, in that a character from the tale, Weohstan, is considered to be an ancestor of the man commemorated in the ship- burial in Mound 1. Weohstan, whose allegiance lay with the Geats, was nonetheless a member of the Wægmunding clan, distant relations to the Swedish Scylfing dynasty. -

Fornvän- nen 102. Stockholm. Editor's note: Iran is a constant presence in Western media these days due to its politics and foreign policy. Less attention is paid to the country's many millennia of culture and its splendid and rich archaeological record. And hardly a word is said about the sustained and large-scale work performed there by Swedish archaeologists. Thus we are pleased to be able to present a paper and bibliography on this underappreciated aspect of Swedish antiquarian research by professor Carl Nylander, an authority in the field and a living link to the Swedish 20th century archaeological fieldwork in Iran.
