No full textThe later settlement
No full textIn contrast to the settlement that preceded the construction of the monuments in Jelling, the later settlement, which was contemporary with the earliest stone church, is less obvious. It is particularly within the north-east quadrant of the enclosure that it is possible to gain an insight, albeit a sporadic one, into this later development. During the initial excavations of the northern palisade line in 2006/7, a single building was observed, which was stratigraphically later than the palisade, and during the subsequent excavation campaign in 2010, further evidence of buildings and features belonging to a later, more loosely structured activity horizon was identified within the north-east quadran
The Low Country saints of the Næstved Calendar
No full textThe Næstved Calendar (Copenhagen, Det Kongelige Bibliotek, E don. var. 52 2º), an illuminated manuscript produced at the Benedictine monastery of St Peder at Næstved (also called Skovkloster) ca. 1228–1250, is known for transmitting historical information in the form of the older Næstved annals, as well as information pertaining to various persons related to the community. However, the composition of the calendar which gives the manuscript its name has received little attention. An analysis of the feasts in the calendar reveals a strong influence from the Low Countries, more specifically the areas today covered by Belgium and Northern France, but little to none of the English and German influence usually seen as typical of high medieval Danish calendars. The article proposes two possible explanations for the calendar’s composition: the influence of the Flemish and Northern French connections of the Danish elite in the Valdemar Era (1157–1241), most famously exemplified by members of the Hvide family such as Peder Sunesen (d. 1214), and Næstved’s own contacts, forged through the town’s position as a centre of trade. In both scenarios, the saints’ presence should be seen in the context of greater mobility and increased connections with the continent in the Valdemar Era
Being Strong Together:Cooperative Farmer Organizing in Scandinavia
No full textThis chapter on the role of the cooperative farmer movement for the social and economic development in Denmark focuses on the cooperatives as a form of associating, hereby unfolding how these cooperatives gained momentum due to sociopolitical conflicts in the late 19th century and became embedded within a wider rural cultural and organizational network. This gave Danish economic development a distinctively associational characteristic as cooperative organizations consolidated on a national level. However, while cooperative businesses survived dramatic transformations by the 1960s concerning international economic pressures, shifts in national political interests leading to rural depopulation, increasing farm sizes, centralization, and the dissolution of rural culture and organizations, their former associational aspect was lost as their business aspect became disembedded from wider organizational and cultural networks
KNV01220 G7 kabel Herfølge-Køge
Get PDFMuseum Sydøstdanmark udførte en arkæologisk overvågning i forbindelse med nedgravningen af et 5,8 km langt elkabel mellem Herfølge og Køge. Der blev afdækket 12.926 m² i undersøgelsen. Der fremkom spredte anlæg i form af stolpehuler, gruber og kogegruber. Især vest for Svansbjerg var anlægsintensiteten høj, hvor tracéet gik igennem et bopladsområde med flere konstruktioner, som er bredt dateret til jernalderen. Dette område, som havde et omfang på 540 m2, blev udgravet i forlængelse af overvågningen. I udkanten af Køge fremkom der yderligere et system af agerrene fra nyere tid
