  • Systems of Settlement Hierarchy
    Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Viking and Medieval Norse Studies Systems of Settlement Hierarchy A study of Husby, Central Places, and Settlement in the Mälaren Region from an Archaeological Perspective. Ritgerð til MA-prófs í Viking and Medieval Norse Studies Karl Troxell Kt.: 050994-4229 Leiðbeinandi: Orri Vésteinsson June 2019 Abstract The study of the settlement landscape of Late Iron Age, Viking Age, and Medieval Scandinavia has often focused on questions concerning the development of socio-political organization and its effect on the regional organization of settlement. In the Mälaren region in central Sweden scholars have relied on theoretical models of social and settlement hierarchy developed over nearly a century of discourse. The framework for these models was initially built on sparse literary, historical, and linguistic evidence, with archaeological material only being considered more systematically in recent decades, and then only in a secondary capacity. These considerations only being made to shed light on the existing theoretical framework. No general examination of the archaeological material has taken place to corroborate these models of settlement hierarchy based purely on an archaeological perspective. This thesis reviews the models of settlement hierarchy and social organization proposed for the Mälaren region in the Late Iron Age through Medieval Period and examines how they hold up in the face of the available archaeological evidence. It finds that while much more systematic archaeological research is necessary, the available evidence calls for a serious restructuring of these theoretical frameworks. i Ágrip Rannsóknir á landsháttum síðari hluta járnaldar, víkingaaldar og miðalda á Norðurlöndum hafa að stórum hluta miðað að því að varpa ljósi á álitamál um þróun valdakerfa og um áhrif þeirra á skipulag byggðar.
