Norwegian Archaeological Review, 2013 DISCUSSION Vol. 46, No. 1, 57–120 Where are the Missing Boats? The Pioneer Settlement of Norway as Long-Term History HÅKON GLØRSTAD During the last ten years there has been a growing interest in understanding the earliest settlement of northern Europe. In Norway, specialized marine adaptation and high mobility based on traffic with seafaring skin boats are key elements in a new synthesis of the colonization process. This article addresses the process of colonization from a perspective of long-term history, analysing the record in an archaeological retrospective perspective. Such an analysis is intended to challenge and discuss some of the presumptions giving an implicit framework to the current state of knowledge. The main argument is that the long-term structures of Mesolithic settlement and subsistence in Norway are key for understanding the colonization of this landscape. Key elements in such a discussion are the nature of the early Mesolithic transport and communication systems. It is reasonable to question the range of mobility and the seagoing quality of the vessels. The sites preserved show traces of boat production that resembles the rest of the Mesolithic. This touches upon a more fundamental question concerning the status of the archaeological record as source material for understanding human societies and history.

  • How Uniform Was the Old Norse Religion?
    II. Old Norse Myth and Society HOW UNIFORM WAS THE OLD NORSE RELIGION? Stefan Brink ne often gets the impression from handbooks on Old Norse culture and religion that the pagan religion that was supposed to have been in Oexistence all over pre-Christian Scandinavia and Iceland was rather homogeneous. Due to the lack of written sources, it becomes difficult to say whether the ‘religion’ — or rather mythology, eschatology, and cult practice, which medieval sources refer to as forn siðr (‘ancient custom’) — changed over time. For obvious reasons, it is very difficult to identify a ‘pure’ Old Norse religion, uncorroded by Christianity since Scandinavia did not exist in a cultural vacuum.1 What we read in the handbooks is based almost entirely on Snorri Sturluson’s representation and interpretation in his Edda of the pre-Christian religion of Iceland, together with the ambiguous mythical and eschatological world we find represented in the Poetic Edda and in the filtered form Saxo Grammaticus presents in his Gesta Danorum. This stance is more or less presented without reflection in early scholarship, but the bias of the foundation is more readily acknowledged in more recent works.2 In the textual sources we find a considerable pantheon of gods and goddesses — Þórr, Óðinn, Freyr, Baldr, Loki, Njo3rðr, Týr, Heimdallr, Ullr, Bragi, Freyja, Frigg, Gefjon, Iðunn, et cetera — and euhemerized stories of how the gods acted and were characterized as individuals and as a collective. Since the sources are Old Icelandic (Saxo’s work appears to have been built on the same sources) one might assume that this religious world was purely Old 1 See the discussion in Gro Steinsland, Norrøn religion: Myter, riter, samfunn (Oslo: Pax, 2005).

  • The Role of Historical Con Sciousness in Rock Art
    PAPERS XXIII Valcamonica Symposium 2009 LINKING THE PAST AND THE PRESENT: THE ROLE OF HISTORICAL CON- SCIOUSNESS IN ROCK ART INTERPRETATION ANNE JODON COLE* ABSTRACT Scandinavian prehistory and rock art images provide an extreme diachronic account of a now silent signifier still si- gnifying a cultural communication more than four thousand years later. A focus is cast on the rock art of two distin- ct cultures in Scandinavia: Alta, Norway and Tanum, Sweden. Gadamer’s thesis that all understanding is historically conditioned is brought in: 1) understanding can never be free of prejudice, and 2) understanding involves the union of the observer and the observed, leading to the “fusing of horizons.” Rock art images provide a graphic understanding of how a cultural image can take on various interpretations depending on the mindset of the viewer. An interpreter of rock art or intercultural communication can easily misinterpret a message due to preconceptions. Historical consciousness allows understanding the past on its own terms and within its own horizon-not in the terms of contemporary society. RESUME Les images de l’art rupestre et de la préhistoire de Scandinavie fournissent un large compte-rendu diachronique d’un signifiant actuel- lement silencieux mais qui signifie encore une communication culturelle plus de quatre mille ans plus tard. Un focus est placé sur l’art rupestre de deux différentes cultures de la Scandinavie : Alta, Norway et Tanum, en Suède. La thèse de Gadamer qui affirme que toute compréhension est conditionnée historiquement est introduite par le fait que: 1) la compréhension ne peut jamais être libre de préjugés et 2) la compréhension implique l’union de l’observateur et de l’observé, amenant à la « fusion des horizons ».

  • The Role of Skis and Skiing in the Settlement of Early Scandinavia
    The Role of Skis and Skiing in the Settlement of Early Scandinavia JOHN WEINSTOCK The Northern Review #25/26 (Summer 2005): 172-196. Introduction Skiing as a modern sport spread from Norway in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to other countries where there was snow during some portion of the year. Many people had read Fridtjof Nansen’s account of his 1888-89 trek on skis over the inland ice of Greenland in his book Paa ski over Grønland, which appeared in Norwegian and other languages in 1890.1 The book helped make skiing a household word. Not so well known is the role of the Sámi (formerly Lapps) in the evolution of skiing. This arti- cle aims to sketch the ear ly history of skiing from its birth in the Stone Age to a period only some centuries ago. I suggest that Finno-Ugrian cultural complexes moved into Fennoscandia (the Scandinavian peninsula) from the east and south in the late Stone Age, bringing skis with them as one as- pect of their material culture. Germanic groups migrated northward into Scandinavia much later on. They too may have brought skis with them, but their skis were not nearly as technologically advanced as the Sámi skis. When Germanic groups came in contact with the Sámi, they profi ted from the latter group’s mastery of skis and skiing.2 Origins of Skiing The roots of skiing go back much further than a century or two. Written sources as early as 211 BC mention skis and skiing. There are rock carv- ings in northwest Russia and northern Norway depicting skiers that are upwards of four thousand years old.

  • Research Proposal, Phd, Heidi Mjelva Breivik
    Colonization and use of new lands 1.0 Introduction The landscape and climate are under constant change. We are today witnessing extensive climatic changes causing more extreme weather conditions affecting the landscape, flora and fauna. Although these climatic alterations may seem dramatic on us, the period that followed the last ice age was even more remarkable: In addition to rapid rise in temperature and sea level, collapses of ice sheets and release of meltwater lakes led to cataclysmic changes (Burroughs 2005:19). As the ice cover receded, new lands were exposed and became available for settlement. Colonization and use of new lands forms the basis for the project which revolves around the topic: The earliest settlers and their relations to the surroundings. Key issues are: characterization of biotopes, level of mobility, social organization and technological traditions and traces of resource based adaptions within the archaeological record. These topics will be highlighted through different approaches. The project focuses upon the Late-glacial–Post-glacial transition – the time of which the landscape stabilized towards the present known shape and appearance. The period is limited to ca 11,000–8000 cal. BC and comprises the Younger Dryas (11,000–9500 cal. BC) and the Preboreal, here referred to as the Early Mesolithic chronozone (9500–8000 cal. BC) (Bjerck 2008:74). The thesis is a contribution within the frames of an existing research network on pioneer settlement studies. “The pioneer research network” was initiated by the Norwegian University museums in 2009, and consists of archaeologists and natural scientists from Scandinavia and Northern Europe. It is a part of “Universitetsmuseenes forskningssatsning”, and has received financial support by The Research Council of Norway.
