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. -
Stone-Cist Grave at Kaseküla, Western Estonia, in the Light of Ams Dates of the Human Bones
Estonian Journal of Archaeology, 2012, 16, 2, 91–117 doi: 10.3176/arch.2012.2.01 Margot Laneman STONE-CIST GRAVE AT KASEKÜLA, WESTERN ESTONIA, IN THE LIGHT OF AMS DATES OF THE HUMAN BONES The article discusses new AMS dates of the human bones at stone-cist grave I at Kaseküla, western Estonia, in the context of previously existent radiocarbon dates, artefact finds and osteological studies. There are altogether 12 radiocarbon dates for 10 inhumations (i.e. roughly a third of all burials) of the grave, provided by two laboratories. The dates suggest three temporally separated periods in the use life of the grave(s): the Late Bronze Age, the Pre-Roman Iron Age and the Late Iron Age. In the latter period, the grave was probably reserved for infant burials only. Along with chronological issues, the article discusses the apparently unusual structure of the grave and compares two competing osteological studies of the grave’s bone assemblage from an archaeologist’s point of view. Margot Laneman, Institute of History and Archaeology, University of Tartu, 18 Ülikooli St., 50090 Tartu, Estonia; [email protected] Introduction The main aim of this article is to present and discuss new radiocarbon (AMS) dates of the human bones collected from stone-cist grave I at Kaseküla, western Estonia. The stone-cist grave was excavated by Mati Mandel in 1973 with the purpose of specifying the settlement history of the region (Mandel 1975). So far it has remained the only excavated stone-cist grave in mainland western Estonia (Mandel 2003, fig. 20). Excavation also uncovered a Late Neolithic settlement site beneath the grave, which was further investigated by Aivar Kriiska in 1997 (Kriiska et al. -
Gottberg 2020 Challenging Old Truths
Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historia Challenging Old Truths Viewing Cultural Hybridity from the Perspective of the Tarand-Graves Victoria Gottberg Masteruppsats 45 hp i Arkeologi VT 2020 Handledare: Karin Ojala och Anders Kaliff Campus Engelska Parken Abstract Gottberg, V. 2020. Challenging Old Truths : Viewing Cultural Hybridity from the perspective of the Tarand-Graves. Gottberg, V. 2020. Att utmana gamla sanningar : Kulturell hybriditet betraktat utifrån tarandgravarna. A phenomenon during the late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age which in its simplest form could be called ‘a culture of the Baltic Sea’ is an idea which many archaeologists have favoured. However, the term ‘a culture of the Baltic Sea’ is not the most ideal to use when discussing the Baltic Sea during this time in prehistory, as the term is rather simplifying from what would be the more diverse truth. The term entails that there should have been a cultural homogeneity across the Baltic Sea as it most certainly was not. This thesis complicates this otherwise simplified term and calls the cultural phenomenon ‘a cultural hybrid of the northern Baltic Sea area’ (i.e. the northern part of the Baltic Sea including its neighbouring gulfs). A cultural hybrid, in this sense, allows there to be cultural differences within an area. These differences are accepted by the people within the cultural hybrid which in turn allow people to live among each other, rather than to become a social obstacle making the people separate into smaller and more homogenous cultural groups. This assumed existence of a cultural hybrid is put to the test as a hypothesis. -

Antropologia Pierwotnej Kultury Gotów Zwyczaje Pogrzebowe
Rocznik Antropologii Historii, 2017, rok VII, (10), ss. 177–201 ANTROPOLOGIA PIERWOTNEJ KULTURY GOTÓW ZWYCZAJE POGRZEBOWE ANDRZEJ PIOTR KOWALSKI WSTĘP Kultura Gotów znana jest z licznych i ważnych opracowań dotyczących ich dziejów (Strzelczyk 2015; Heather 1996; Ščukin, Kazanski, Sharov 2006), społecznych wyobrażeń (Scardigli 1964; Wolfram 2003; Ganina 2001) oraz archeologii (Kmieciński 1962; Wołągiewicz 1981, 1986; Grabarczyk 1997; Ščukin 2005; Machajewski 2006; Kokowski 2007). Antropologia kultury kon centruje się na interpretacji wspólnotowo podzielanych sensów i wartości kry jących się w typowych dla danej grupy praktykach, zwyczajach, sposobach postępowania. Ważnym materiałem do poznania tych zjawisk są nie tylko przekazy historyczne czy źródła archeologiczne, ale także język badanego ludu. Antropolog poznaje język miejscowej ludności nie tylko w celach komunika cyjnych, traktuje go jak klucz do rozeznania tubylczego obrazu świata i lokalnej mentalności. Utrwalone w języku znaki realiów kulturowych i zbiorowego myślenia są intrygujące dla antropologów historii. W przypadku Gotów język znany jest wyrywkowo, rekonstruowany niemal wyłącznie z fragmentów Biblii w tłumaczeniu Ulfili. Wiadomo, że realia przedstawione w Biblii nie oddają specyfiki życia ludności germańskiej żyjącej na obszarze Europy Środkowej w pierwszych wiekach naszej ery. Pomimo wielu trudności metodologicznych, zwłaszcza natury filologicznej, warto jednak wykorzystywać znany zasób słownictwa gockiego do badań nad wybranymi sferami życia tego ludu. W niniej szym -

The Gothic History of Jordanes in English Version;
THE GOTHIC HISTORY OF JORDANES IN ENGLISH VERSION WITH AN INTRODUCTION AND A COMMENTARY BY CHARLES CHRISTOPHER MIEROW, Ph.D. Instructor in Classics in Princeton University V 3 1^ 1^ (i PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS PRINCETON LONDON: HUMPHREY MILFORD OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS 1915 Copyright, 1915, by Charles Christopher Mierow Published, February, 1915 PREFACE This edition of the Getica of Jordanes is based ERRATA p PREFACE This edition of the Getica of Jordanes is based upon the authoritative text and critical apparatus of Mommsen as found in the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, Auc- fores Antiqiiissimi 5 (Berhn 1882), with other material added. I have adhered closely to his spelling of proper names, especially Gothic names, except in a few words which are of common use in another form. I have care- fully reviewed all the existing evidence on controverted points, dissenting in several instances from the conclu- sions of Mommsen, particularly in regard to the sup- posedly Gothic writer Ahlabius, the ecclesiastical status of Jordanes, and the place of composition of the Getica. For the Latinity of Jordanes the studies of E. Wolfflin (Arch. f. lat. Lex. 11, 361), J. Bergmiiller (Augsburg 1903), and Fritz Werner (Halle 1908) have been con- sulted, and for ready convenience of illustration in his- torical matters frequent reference is made in the com- mentary to Hodgkin's "Italy and Her Invaders" (2nd. edition. Clarendon Press, 1892), Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" (edited by J. B. Bury, London 1896), Bury's "History of the Later Roman Empire" (MacMillan & Co., 1889), and "The Cambridge JVIedieval History" (The MacMillan Co., New York 1911). -
Grave Monuments and Landscape in South- Eastern Sweden

Abstract Lund Archaeological Reuieu 7 (2001), pp. 2949. During the last decade several scholars have analysed the meaning and importance of agriculture for the development of Late Bronze Age sociery. The present article has a staning poinr in pollen analyses performed at two sites in the province of Smiland. The interpretation has a focus on one of the sites - the Bronze Age grave cemeteries of Snlckedal, Misterhult parish - which stands out as an extremely monumental site, yet totally without traces of agriculture, pasture or orher kinds of human impact in prehistoric time. These results are compared to recent research on similar features in the Baltic region. The article concludes with an interpretation of differences in the perception of monumentaliry berween modern and prehistoric societies. Special attention is given to the symbolism ofthe grave constructions, above all the meaning ofships and houses in the Bronze Age grave ritual ofnorthern Europe. The fieldwork and pollen analysis have been made possible by grants from Birgit and Gad Rausingt Foundation for Humanistic Research.
