Ture J:son Arne och vikingatiden i Östeuropa : delar av ett forskarliv i 1900-talets Europa
No full textT. J. Arne (1879–1965) still stands out as the most important Scandinavian, perhaps Western European scholar working with the archaeology of early Russia. He was a person with a sharp and clear intellect, an impressive capacity to workwith rich archaeological collections and he was an outstanding linguist. He undertook three very ambitious research tours in Russia both before and after the revolutions. In connection with two of these tours he also excavated at important sites in Ukraine and in Russia. After the assumption of power of J. Stalin Arne became the leading scholar opposing the increasingly nationalistic and crude Marxist interpretations of what happened in the 9th and 10th centuries in Eastern Europe and more precisely in Russia. His scholarly achievements still today remain unchallenged and carry much weight

Uppdragsarkeologi (2 kap, 10-13§§) : bedömning av undersökare och undersökningsplan : vägledning för tillämpningen av kulturmiljölagen
No full textUpphört, se uppdaterad vägledning Vid beslut enligt KML om en arkeologisk utredning, arkeologisk förundersökning eller arkeologisk undersökning har länsstyrelsen ansvar för att avgöra om arbetet kan förväntas bli av vetenskapligt god kvalitet.1 Att utifrån undersökningsplanen bedöma den förväntade kvaliteten på ett arbete är en komplex uppgift. Många kriterier som behöver uppfyllas kan ställas upp som krav i länsstyrelsens förfrågningsunderlag. Vissa kriterier kan bedömas med hjälp av kvantifierbara mått medan andra kriterier är föremål för en mer kvalitativ erfarenhetsbaserad bedömning. Vilka kriterier som är aktuella vid en bedömning av vad som är god kvalitet skiljer sig åt för en utredning, en förundersökning och en arkeologisk undersökning
Miniatures with nine studs : interdisciplinary explorations of a new type of Viking Age artefact
No full textThis paper investigates the materiality and symbolic significance of a recently emerging group of Viking Age miniature pendants decorated with nine studs. Artefacts that make up this group, typically made of silver or copper alloy and known exclusively from Denmark and Norway, have all been discovered stray as a result of amateur metal detecting. Although their designs are varied and no two specimens are ever exactly the same, it appears that the number nine was of fundamental importance to their designers and users. Drawing on the ‘conceptof citation’ and theoretical approaches to miniaturisation, this study exploresthe conceptual correspondences between miniatures with nine studs and other Viking Age objects that creatively utilised the number nine motif. In creating a ‘web of citational relationships’ with a host of other artefacts, these finds can be interpreted in the context of textual sources that emphasise the importance of the number nine in the Norse worldview
Gränslandets dynamik : samspelet mellan slätt och ås i nordöstra Skåne i ett långtidsperspektiv
No full textThis study focuses on the long-term land-use and settlement dynamics in two adjacent but very different landscape types in Scania, southern Sweden – a forested upland area (the Linderödsåsen ridge) and a flat low-lying agricultural area (the Kristianstadslätten plain). The ridge and the plain differ in natural conditions as well as in prehistoric remains and in archaeological research history. The main empirical basis for the study is radiocarbon dates from numerous archaeological sites together with two pollen diagrams. Periods of expansion and abandonment are identified, and their character and timing are discussed. The results reveal several phases of chronological correlation between the ridge and the plain, from the Neolithic to the Middle Ages, indicating societal connections between the two landscape types. The results are discussed in a wider context of colonisation and societal crisis, particularly during the Iron Age
Update on brooches with Balt traits in Norway : the map redrawn by metal detecting
No full textThe purpose of this brief presentation is twofold. Firstly, we want to draw attention to a field of research where the legal detector hobby in Nor- way has provided radically new knowledge in recent times. Secondly, we want to flag up the emergence of an intriguing type of brooch with Balt traits, found by hobby detectorists in the Norwegian inland
