The team developed content for selected objects at the Higgins Armory Museum. QR codes installed next to these artifacts allow visitors to access a variety of minigames and fact pages using their mobile devices. Facts for the object are selected randomly from a pool, making the experience different each time the code is scanned, and the pool adapts based on artifacts visited, personalizing the experience. 2 Contents Contents........................................................................................................................... 3 Figures..............................................................................................................................6 Introduction ……………………………………………......................................................... 9 Double Edged Swords In Europe………………………………………………………...21 The European Bronze Age Sword……………………………………………….21 Ancient edged weapons prior to the Bronze Age………………………..21 Uses of European Bronze Age swords, general trends, and common innovations

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.

Photo Dan Carlsson Harbours and trading in the Baltic Sea during the Viking Age - an introduction In our interpretation of prehistory we are highly influenced by the material we see in the landscape or by coincidences found during archaeological surveys, and we forget or neglect to take into account the hidden cultural landscape. This is particularly true when it comes to prehistory in Sweden. As we completely lack written sources before the 12th century (with the exception of runic inscriptions) we have to rely on archaeological field material. An example of this problem is the question of Viking Age trade and its associated port activities. Extensive Viking material from Gotland suggests that the island had a lively exchange with the surrounding regions at that time in its history. This is reflected in the existence of numerous silver hoards; no area in northern Europe has such a con- centration of silver from the Viking Age as Gotland. There are clear signs of an extensive and lively Staraya Sigtuna trade and exchange (or piracy, as Ladoga Birka some would argue), which in turn Kaupang required docking points, ports
  • Weights and Balances Were Major Contributors to the Human Experience Through out Recorded History

    Weights and Balances Were Major Contributors to the Human Experience Through out Recorded History

    Ashley Atwood Viking Age Balances and Weights 2013 Weights and balances were major contributors to the human experience through out recorded history. They were not only an instrument of science and trade but also charged symbols of credence, rectitude, codependency, order, law, and justice. The Viking Age progressed largely undocumented by the Norse themselves. The role that weights and balances played in the economic practices of the Vikings must therefore be guided predominately by archaeological data and analysis. Through out this paper I will discuss/examine metrological studies, metallurgic ceramics, spatial and temporal analyses, and symbological possibilities of Viking Age weights and balances. The transition from agriculture, to raiding, then to urbanism and trade reflect an economic determinist’s attitude that was apparent in Norse culture. During the 8th century Scandinavian raids were conducted against urban centres for the interest of easily accessible wealth of vulnerable monastaries. Inevitably, during raiding excursions the Vikings would come into contact with such empires as the Carolingians and the Caliphates that would sooner than later have a significant influence upon personal and international economic sustainability (Barrett 2008: 677). The earliest evidence of eastern expansion is a hoard of oriental coins dating from the mid to the late 8th century near Staraja Ladoga (Barrett 2008: 678). The Vikings quickly acknowledged the advantage of transactions based on the weight of silver as this could include any material item that contained such an alloy be it ingot, jewelry, coin, or hacksilver. This demarcation in economic shift was also due to the social and political construction exercised at the time.

    On the Metrology of Birka and Early Sigtuna – Tools of Trade in the Viking Age Lake Mälaren Valley (Sweden)

    JOAKIM M. SCHULTZÉN ON THE METROLOGY OF BIRKA AND EARLY SIGTUNA – TOOLS OF TRADE IN THE VIKING AGE LAKE MÄLAREN VALLEY (SWEDEN) THE STUDY OF ARCHAEOMETROLOGY Ancient weights represent a twofold source value for archaeological interpretation. On one hand we can draw conclusions based upon morphology; on the other we can retrieve information about the weight system employed at the site of recovery (given that we are able to recreate their original mass), which in turn provides important clues for interpreting trade relations. Because of the distinctively practical purpose of weights as tools in crafts and trade, it is possible to get a glimpse of a more pragmatic side of ancient society than what is commonly possible with other archaeological artefacts. It is hard to conceive of any reason why a choice of weight system should have been based on other than practical and mathematical grounds; the main governing factors being credibility and compatibility. Credibility – since using well-known and widely applied units of measurement provides a familiar nomenclature within which an exchange may be negotiated, reducing the risk of friction through misunderstandings. Compatibility – giving the parties the option to verify that the weights in use are of the correct mass, i. e. reducing the possibility for fraud. Further support for the importance of credibility and compatibility in measuring systems can be found in the need of precise measures in metallurgical crafts. Skewed proportions in an alloy, for instance bronze, might easily lead to a useless product. Weighing is also part of the cupellation process in determining the purity of noble metals.
