Local Variations in Swordsmanship: Metalwork Wear Analysis on eight Swords and a Spearhead from early Bronze Age Jutland
No full textThis study is centered around local variations in swordsmanship in Bronze Age Denmark. This is studied through Metalwork Wear Analysis (MWA) of eight Early Bronze Age swords and one spearhead from Jutland, three of which were studied in greater detail. The material is primarily from period II and III from Aalborg Amt. Results show high levels of swordsmanship but also demonstrate a remarkable difference in wear mark distribution and clustering. Two contemporary but distinct styles of fencing with swords are therefore suggested through MWA. MWA of the spearhead showed signs of slashing use, which shows that the notion of spears being only thrusting weapons, is too simplistic. Finally, the general results of the MWA have been put into its European context, by comparing the patterns to ones from Italy and Britain. The material studied showed different clustering patterns than seen in Italy in Britain. Furthermore, it is suggested that Northern Jutland fencing style was less focused on the binding of sword blades, as well as being based more on sword versus spear combat, than sword versus sword combat, as is the case in Britain and Italy

No full textI det sydvestlige hjørne af Sønderjylland,blot få kilometer fra Vadehavet, liggerlandsbyen Emmerlev. I dag er Emmerleven samling gårde beliggende langs vejenud mod Emmerlev Klev. Landsbyenligger på den sydlige kant af HjerpstedBakkeø, nord for Vidåens udløber i Vadehavet.Topografisk afgrænses Emmerlevaf engområder mod syd og øst og afVadehavet mod vest. Nord for Emmerlevstiger terrænet, og på områdets højestepunkt, omtrent 1,2 km nord for Emmerlev,ligger den anseelige EmmerlevKirke (fig. 2).I 2016 startede de to detektorførereLars Nielsen og Søren Stokbæk med atafsøge markerne mellem Emmerlev ogkirken (sted nr. 210202. Sb. nr. 107; stednr. 210202. Sb. nr. 110). Siden er afsøgningenfortsat og i 2020 blev et helt unikt fundgjort: en fingerring af guld med en indfattetgranat. Ringen er den første af sinslags fundet i Danmark, men parallellertil ringen kendes fra det tidligere frankiskeRige, hvor ringtypen er relateret tilsamfundets øverste lag. Ringen placerestidsmæssigt i den merovingiske periode iFrankerriget (450 –751 e. Kr.). Men hvilkeårsager og handlinger ligger bag ringenstilstedeværelse på en mark ved Emmerlev?Fingerringen er blot et af flere fund, derløfter Emmerlev op ad den socioøkonomiskerangstige, og fortæller om Emmerlevsrelationer langs Vadehavet og områdetsbetydning fra jernalderen og frem tilrenæssancen
Small Churches and Church Organisation in Norse Greenland
No full textAccording to Icelandic sagas Grænlendinga saga and Eirik’s saga the Norse colonies in south and southwest Greenland were established from Iceland in the later part of the 980s. Furthermore, it is stated in Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar, that Christianity was introduced to the Greenlanders around 1000 on the initiative of the Norwegian king Olav Tryggvason, indicating Norwegian influence over Greenland and Norse Greenlandic dependence on Norway almost from the establishment of the colonies in Greenland. Based on the results of a radiocarbon programme focusing on the group of small churches in the central part of the Eastern Settlement which was carried out between 2001 and 2010 we suggest that majority of the Icelandic colonists were Christians already when they arrived in Greenland and that they built churches from the very beginning of settlement. We suggest that, from the time of the initial settlement, the building of churches in Greenland were driven by the farmers themselves, and that, over time the Church developed into a centralised organisation headed by a few large landowners with close relations to the Norwegian Church and the Norwegian kings.In recent years, archaeologists working at Norse sites across the North Atlantic have excavated a number of very small churches with cemeteries, often associated with individual farms. Such sites seem to be a characteristic feature of early ecclesiastical establishments in Norse settlements around the North Atlantic, and they stand in marked contrast to church sites elsewhere in Europe. But what was the reason behind this phenomenon?From Greenland to Denmark, and from Ireland to the Hebrides, Iceland, and Norway, this volume presents a much-needed overview of small church studies from around the North Atlantic. The chapters gathered here discuss the different types of evidence for small churches and early ecclesiastical landscapes, review existing debates, and develop a synthesis that places the small churches in a broader context. Ultimately, despite the varied types of data at play, the contributions to this volume combine to offer a more coherent picture of the small church phenomenon, pointing to a church that was able to answer the needs of a newly converted population despite the lack of an established infrastructure, and throwing new light on how people lived and worshipped in an environment of dispersed settlement
