The period covered is 1991-1996 AD. The seminar paper, commonly called a ”C paper”, has become the rite of passage into a serious professional and academic pursuit of archaeology in Sweden. Written in the third (”C”) and, sometimes, fourth terms of undergraduate studies, it is a minimum requirement for a grade and subsequent employment in rescue work. As many senior archaeologists have mournfully noted, later in one's career it becomes a rare privilege to be able to spend several months full-time on a single research task. It is therefore hardly surprising to find much solid archaeological ground-work and ingenuous analysis in these papers. The purpose of this volume is to make the fruits of all this work known and available to those whom it may most benefit. This volume also constitutes an attempt to gather seminar papers of potential use and interest to archaeology from other disciplines. Previous volumes of this bibliography have been issued in the Swedish Ar chaeological Bibliography (SAB) and Stockholm Archaeological Reports (SAR) series, available from the Department of Archaeology, University of Stockholm, as follows. Period Reference 1939-1970 SAB vol. 5 (1966-1970). Stockholm 1972. 1971-1975 SAB vol. 6 (1971-1980). Stockholm 1978. 1976-1980 SAR #16. Stockholm 1984. 1981-1990 SAR #28. Stockholm 1994. The bibliography has been compiled from lists solicited from 43 grading university departments. Every effort has been made to check irregular spellings, but errors may nonetheless remain in names. In each reference of the present volume, the original title of the paper is given in italics, followed by a translation into English where applicable. Alphabetization follows the Swedish standard, where the diacritic vowels (Å, Ä and Ö) are placed last in the alphabet after Z. The surest way to obtain copies of the papers listed is to order them from the university departments at which they have been graded. These are indicated with an acronym for each reference. An index to these acronyms with addresses to the departments is found at the back of the book. The library of the Royal Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities, housed in the State Museum of National Antiquities in Stockholm, maintains a very extensive collection of seminar papers in archaeology. Copies may in some cases also be found in the libraries of the universities at which the papers have been graded and in the libraries of other universities' departments of the same discipline. In addition to the 43 contributing departments, a number of contacted ones had produced no non-published seminar papers of apparent interest to archaeology: Classical Languages in Stockholm, Uppsala and Umeå; Ethnology in Gothenburg and Uppsala; History of Architecture in Gothenburg, Lund and Stockholm; History of Ideas in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Uppsala; Law in Lund, Stockholm and Uppsala; Middle 7 Compiler's notes Eastern Languages in Lund; Odontology in Gothenburg, Lund, Stockholm and Umeå; Philosophy in Lund, Stockholm, Umeå and Uppsala; and, finally, Scandinavian Languages in Umeå. Sectional division The sectional division of this volume departs from the one previously used. The change has reduced ambiguity in classification and simplified use. An important rationale behind the layout of this bibliography is my conviction that the current definition of disciplines within the field of retrospective humanities is not only largely arbitrary, but often counterproductive. Consequently, no attempt has been made to separate e.g. historical studies from archaeological ones treating the same period. Rather, the output of Swedish students in the field has been sorted geographically and then chronologically, excepting a number of especially well-defined sub-disciplines or specialities which have received sections of their own. Some enigmatic titles may have been placed in the wrong sections as I have not had access to copies of all the indexed papers. Studies spanning a single period boundary have been placed under the heading of the earlier period concerned. Notes on Scandinavian chronological terminology Most chronological terms in use among Scandinavian scholars will be familiar to our English-speaking colleagues abroad. However, the absolute dates behind this terminology are consistently later than the ones observed in continental Europe. This may be seen from a diffusionistic perspective as the backwardness of a peripheral area. Scandinavia has very little Paleolithic material due to the inland glaciation of the Ice Ages, by reason of which the Paleolithic land surface simply no longer exists in most of the area. The Scandinavian Mesolithic ended with the introduction of agriculture about 3900 cal BC. The Neolithic gave way to the Bronze Age at 1700 cal BC, which in turn ended with the introduction of ironworking c 500 cal BC. The Early Iron Age is reckoned through Imperial Roman times until the advent of the Migration Period c 375 AD. The Late Iron Age including the Viking Period is considered to have ended in the 11th cen tury. The year of the battle of Hastings, 1066 AD, is often quoted for this period interface. Only then, with the introduction of Christianity and ecclesiastical culture, are the Middle Ages considered to have begun. The Medieval Period is taken to have ended with the election to kingship of Gustav Vasa, King Gustavus I, in 1523 AD. Thanks are due to Dr. Jan Peder Lamm, the motive force
