This article discusses the reason for placing them in the graves together with the deceased. The rods appeared in varying number and in different positions, e.g. under, on top of or next to the deceased and sometimes in a cross formation. Most of the rods were found in graves from the early Christian period, but they also occurred in graves from the Middle Ages and the early nineteenth century. Based on the results of the description and an- alysis of the rods, sagas and tradition records, it is argued that the rods were placed in the graves to prevent the spirits of the dead from coming back to haunt. Keywords: archaeology, cemeteries, graves, rituals, hazel rods, the dead, spirits, Scandinavia In the summer of 1988, an archaeological excavation was performed in parts of the Heddal Stave Church Rectory grounds in Telemark, Norway. At this site thirty graves were excavated, but dating them posed problems. Several factors contributed to this – the grave’s directional placement, the shape of the coffins, and the position of the corpse’s arms. In addition to this sticks, or wooden rods made from the tree species hazel, were also found in some of the graves (Brendalsmo et al. 1989:31ff). Hazel rods placed in graves can be traced back to pre-Christian times, but this practice has mostly been associated with the early Christian period, i.e. eleventh century (see e.g. Krogh 1965:14; Eide 1974:230; Mårtensson 1980:57). However, it was eventually possible to determine, through archival studies and written source material, that the graves and the hazel rods in Heddal originated from the early nineteenth century (Nøstberg 1993:30ff). Al- though this may give clues about continuity, I shall not pursue or thema- tize that here. Instead, I will ask the question; why were hazel rods placed in graves, or in other words, what was the justification for placing them in the graves? Burial rods are not exclusively found in Heddal or in Norway, but also in Sweden, Denmark, England, Germany and France (see e.g. Mårtensson 1980:56ff; Krogh 1965:13ff; Daniell 1997:167; Gilchrist & Sloane 2005: 8 Herleik Baklid 171ff; Hägg 1997:120f; Doppelfeld 1964:11f). However, in this article, I have chosen to refine the study to the Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish burial-rod material. This choice has been made partly on the basis of the fact that according to the literature, these three countries offer the most comprehensive finds of burial rods, and partly on the basis of a methodological consideration, as there should be a defined geographical correspondence between the burial- rod material and the source material available to discuss the rationale. In the following, I will first offer a description and analysis of the present burial-rod material from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Then, on the basis of the results from the description and analysis of the rod material, I shall discuss the reasoning for placing these rods in the graves. Description and Analysis The burial rods are essentially revealed through archaeological excava- tions of older, abandoned cemeteries. The scope of the investigations ranges from the excavation of a few dozen graves to over 2100 graves (cf. Brendalsmo 1989:24; Brendalsmo et al. 1989:45; Mårtensson 1980:25 and 65). It should also be noted that in general, the cemeteries have not been totally excavated. In some places, like for example Heddal, only some of the graves have been archaeologically investigated (see e.g. Bren- dalsmo et al. 1989:30, Anderson & Göthberg 1986:1f; Cinthio 2002:235). Furthermore, there are some critical aspects related to the source material. First of all, the rods may have rotted after lying in the soil for hundreds of years, and secondly, the weather conditions during the excavations, such as precipitation and rain, may have contributed to the rods being difficult or impossible to detect (cf. Brendalsmo et al. 1989:18). These circum- stances though, will have hardly any particular impact on the result of this study. In Norway burial rods have been found at the following locations: St. Clement’s Church, Oslo, St. Gregory’s Church and St. Olav’s Church, Trondheim, St. Peter’s Church, Tønsberg, Heddal Stave Church, Tele- mark and at the Guddal Church in Sogn og Fjordane (Eide 1974:205 and 230; Long 1975:16, Christophersen & Nordeide 1994:108f; Anderson & Göthberg 1986:12f; Brendalsmo 1989:23 and 26; Brendalsmo et al. 1989: 16f; BMKS Christie 1970:2; cf. Müller 1984:71). In Sweden burial rods have been found at St. Stephen’s Church, Kattesund Church, the Holy Trinity Church and Lund Cathedral, Lund, and at Skara Cathedral, Skara (Mårtensson 1980:56ff; Cinthio 2002:83; Welin 1889:122; cf. Müller 1984:71f). In Denmark rods have been found at the Trans Church and Hørning Church, Jutland, and at the Franciscan Monastery in Svendborg on Funen (Krogh 1965:13ff; Kristensen 1994:94; cf. Müller 1984:72). Hazel Rods in Graves 9 1. Excavation sites for burial rods in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. This map was created by Executive Officer Trond Lerstang, Uni- versity College of Southeast Norway. Most of these sites were archaeologically excavated in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. I will not claim that this list of finds is complete and exhaustive. But the amount of available excavated burial-rod material is so extensive that it pro- vides a sufficient basis for discussing the formulated questions. The Number of Graves with Rods The number of excavated graves with rods vary considerably between exca- vation sites. The table demonstrates that most graves with rods are found in Lund in Sweden. In the three cemeteries of St. Stephen’s Church, Kattesund Church and the Holy Trinity Church, rods were found in respectively 52, 139 and 111 graves. In Norway, however, the number is significantly lower. Most graves with rods are found at the St. Gregory’s Church in Trondheim with Table 1.

Political parties and welfare associations. Doctoral Dissertation in Sociology at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Umeå University, 2007. ISBN 978-91-7264-478-6 ISSN 1104-2508 ABSTRACT Scandinavian countries are usually assumed to be less disposed than other countries to involve associations as welfare producers. They are assumed to be so disinclined due to their strong statutory welfare involvement, which “crowds-out” associational welfare production; their ethnic, cultural and religious homogeneity, which leads to a lack of minority interests in associational welfare production; and to their strong working-class organisations, which are supposed to prefer statutory welfare solutions. These assumptions are questioned here, because they cannot account for salient associational welfare production in the welfare areas of housing and child-care in two Scandinavian countries, Sweden and Norway. In order to approach an explanation for the phenomena of associational welfare production in Sweden and Norway, some refinements of current theories are suggested. First, it is argued that welfare associations usually depend on statutory support in order to produce welfare on a salient level. Second, it is supposed that any form of particularistic interest in welfare production, not only ethnic, cultural or religious minority interests, can lead to associational welfare. With respect to these assumptions, this thesis supposes that political parties are organisations that, on one hand, influence statutory decisions regarding associational welfare production, and, on the other hand, pursue particularistic interests in associational welfare production.

  • Ethics from Pulpits of the Church of Norway: a Self-Report Survey of Social-Ethical Issues
    Journal of Empirical Theology 31 (2018) 167-193 Journal of Empirical Theology brill.com/jet Ethics from Pulpits of the Church of Norway: A Self-Report Survey of Social-Ethical Issues Svein Olaf Thorbjørnsen MF Norwegian School of Theology [email protected] Magne Supphellen Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) [email protected] Abstract To what extent do Norwegian ministers deal with social-ethical issues in their ser- mons? While we examine the frequency of such topics in this article, we primarily explore the potential determinants of their priorities in discussing these issues: their individual backgrounds, their ethical and political orientations, the local parish char- acteristics and the ministers’ sources of inspiration in preparing sermons. The results shows that different ethical orientations appear to be largely unrelated to the frequen- cy of addressing social-ethical issues. Experiences in nature are the most important source of inspiration. The school at which the minister was trained has a significant impact on frequency, while political orientation has a very weak influence. Different parish characteristics—affluence and level of social challenges—and the age and mar- ital status of the clergy do have an impact on which issues are given priority. The min- ister’s gender and geographical location both have no effect.

  • We Are Not Integrating Them, They Should Experience That We Are Involved in Something Together” Reciprocal Integration
    “We are not Integrating them, they Should Experience that we are Involved in Something Together” Reciprocal Integration Hannah Chazal Lennox VID Specialized University Stavanger Master`s Thesis Master in Global Studies Word count: 29970 09.05.2019 [Type here] Abstract Integration may be seen as a reciprocal process where both the host population and the refugees and asylum seekers must go through a process of adaptation. This thesis studies the impact that the migration of refugees and asylum seekers has had on the host population in a municipality in Rogaland, Norway. It looks at how the experiences of the host population affect the process of integration and how this knowledge can help to achieve the better integration of refugees and asylum seekers to this municipality in Rogaland. The thesis is based upon sixteen qualitative interviews conducted with members of the host population. The role of religion in connecting the host population with the refugees and asylum seekers and the reciprocal possibilities of volunteer organizations and the relationships formed through these organizations are themes that are discussed in depth through the course of the thesis.
