Postmortem Agency Following the Sandby Borg Massacre
Social Implications of Unburied Corpses from Intergroup Conflicts: Postmortem Agency Following the Sandby borg Massacre Clara Alfsdotter A massacre took place inside the Sandby borg ringfort, southeast Sweden, at the end of the fifth century. The victims were not buried, but left where they died. In order to understand why the corpses were left unburied, and how they were perceived following the violent event, a theoretical framework is developed and integrated with the results of osteological analysis. I discuss the contemporary normative treatment of the dead, social response to death and postmortem agency with emphasis on intergroup conflict and ‘bad death’. The treatment of the dead in Sandby borg deviates from known contemporary practices. I am proposing that leaving the bodies unburied might be viewed as an aggressive social action. The corpses exerted postmortem agency to the benefit of the perpetrators, at the expense of the victims and their sympathizers. The gain for the perpetrators was likely political power through redrawing the victim’s biographies, spatial memory and the social and territorial landscape. The denial of a proper death likely led to shame, hindering of regeneration and an eternal state of limbo. Introduction materiality of the dead in Sandby borg was investi- gated. This led to the conclusion that the corpses Although research on mass violence and on corpor- were not manipulated following the massacre, but eality is extensive within the social sciences and seemingly left where they died (Alfsdotter et al. humanities (see Knüsel & Smith 2014; Martin et al. 2018; Alfsdotter & Kjellström 2018; in preparation). 2012, for bioarchaeological developments in violence In this article, I investigate the social response to research), the complexity of dead bodies in the con- the deaths in order to understand the contemporary text of mass violence is largely unexplored, despite implications of the Sandby borg corpses. -
Surgery at Sea: an Analysis of Shipboard Medical Practitioners and Their Instrumentation
Surgery at Sea: An Analysis of Shipboard Medical Practitioners and Their Instrumentation By Robin P. Croskery Howard April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Dr. Lynn Harris Major Department: Maritime Studies, History Abstract: Shipboard life has long been of interest to maritime history and archaeology researchers. Historical research into maritime medical practices, however, rarely uses archaeological data to support its claims. The primary objective of this thesis is to incorporate data sets from the medical assemblages of two shipwreck sites and one museum along with historical data into a comparative analysis. Using the methods of material culture theory and pattern recognition, this thesis will explore changes in western maritime medical practices as compared to land-based practices over time.

Gotland University Press 5 Late Neolithic burial practice on the Island of Öland, southeast Sweden Ludvig Papmehl-Dufay, Kalmar County Museum/Linnaeus Universitet Abstract - This paper deals with Late Neolithic burials found on the Swedish Island of Öland in the Baltic Sea. A brief review of the hitherto known burials from this period on the Island is fol- lowed by the presentation of a recent find at Björnhovda, southwest Öland. Here at least one, and possibly as many as five, Late Neolithic traces of burials were found and excavated during autumn 2008. The site is presented in some detail, and these burials are compared to evidences presented in the brief review of Late Neolithic burial practices on Öland. In conclusion it is shown that burial customs during the Late Neolithic were greatly varied in this area, although a number of features can be identified which appear in the majority of the burials and thus possibly indicate some form of common customs. Introduction The Island of Öland is the second largest of the Swedish islands in the Baltic (Figure1). The bedrock consists mainly of Ordovician limestone, the topography is level and the highest point is around 58 m above present sea level. The Island is extremely rich in terms of prehistoric archaeological remains, consisting of visible monuments and sites as well as stray finds of prehistoric artefacts from all periods. The research to date has mainly concerned settlements and burials from the Iron Age, and until recently the Is- land’s Stone Age was sparsely known. A large-scale field survey, conducted in the mid 1990s, resulted in a vast increase of recorded Stone Age sites, and today a wealth of sites are known along the coasts of the Island. -
Issue 82 – August 2018 Chairman’S Column
THE TIGER Remembering Pierre Vandenbraambussche, Founder of the Last Post Association, Menin Gate, Ypres, 5th July 2018 THE NEWSLETTER OF THE LEICESTERSHIRE & RUTLAND BRANCH OF THE WESTERN FRONT ASSOCIATION ISSUE 82 – AUGUST 2018 CHAIRMAN’S COLUMN Welcome again, Ladies and Gentlemen, to the latest edition of The Tiger. Any readers who enjoyed the tennis displayed in the recent Wimbledon Championships may be interested in the following piece from the archives of The Times, relating to a match played during the Roehampton Tournament of April 1919: Captain Hope Crisp, lost a leg in battle. He is determined to keep up golf and lawn tennis and is playing in the Gentlemen’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles. It was interesting to see how he managed. He is a strong volleyer, and naturally half volleys many balls which a two- legged player would drive. The artificial limb is the right, accordingly service is fairly easy. When there is no hurry, he walks, with very fair speed, approaching a run. At other times he hops. His cheerful temperament makes the game a real pleasure to himself and others. Six years earlier, Crisp had been a Wimbledon Champion, claiming the first ever Mixed Doubles Title with his partner, Agnes Tuckey. This victory was marred by an eye injury to one of their opponents, Ethel Captain Hope Crisp Thomson Larcombe whose subsequent retirement conceded the match to Crisp and Tuckey. In 1914 the defending Champions would reach the semi-final stage before being eliminated. Pre-war, Crisp had been Captain of the Cambridge University tennis team between 1911 and 1913 and at the outbreak of War, joined the Honorable Artillery Company before being commissioned into the 3rd Battalion of the Duke of Wellington’s (West Riding) Regiment. -

Kesällä 1573 pidätti Herman Flemingin johtama ruotsalainen laivasto-osasto piiritetystä Narvasta ulos päässeestä, Lyypekin sota-alusten suojaamasta saattueesta toistakymmentä kauppa-alusta, joukossa englantilaisiakin, ja vei ne sotasaaliina Helsingin ankkuripaikalle. Seuraavana kesänä lähetettiin Elisabet-kuningattaren käskystä. Suomenlahdelle aseistettuja aluksia, jotka vapauttivat ja veivät kotimaahan pidätetyt kauppalaivat. Taistelua ei tässä yhteydessä syntynyt. Brittien asema Itämerellä oli vielä näihin aikoihin sotien vallitessa vaikea, mutta kaupankäynti pohjoisten valtioiden kanssa oli välttämätöntä, koska se oli tärkeää laivaston rakentamiselle. Englanti olikin koko purjelaivakauden 1800-luvulle asti riippuvainen laivanrakennuksessaan Itämeren tuonnista. 1600-luvun lopullajohtavaksi merivallaksi noussut Englanti lähetti Suuren pohjan sodan aikana jokaisena kulkukautena 1715-1721 laivastonsa Itämerelle turvaamaan merenkulun häiriöttömän jatkumisen.
