Kanske: Det humanistiska tvivlet och det arkeologiska narrativet
No full textArkeologiämnet är en märklig disciplin eftersom det uppträder i gränslandet mellan humaniora och naturvetenskap. Samtidigt sneglar ämnet mot samhällsvetenskaperna. Arkeologiämnet kan därför uppträda lite varstans och därmed också ingenstans. Dess aktualitet sammanhör med dess förmåga att göra sig synligt i ytterkanterna av dessa olika akademiska fält
Balt-Norwegian migration of brooch design : New examples found - in Denmark
No full textWhen the intriguing phenomenon of Balt influence on the design of Migration Period brooches in certain parts of Norway was paid attention to in 2001, in the first and so far only comprehensive study of this subject, just four specimens of such cruciform or square-headed brooches with star- or spade-like foot had been recorded in Denmark. Since then, the number of Danish finds of this type has quadrupled, to judge from scattered examples occurring in print or posted on the web. In the present article, eleven such examples compiled from various sources, and two previously unpublished finds made in 2019 by one of the authors while metal detecting in collaboration with Danish museums, are reported and commented on. Whether these finds in Denmark represent Norwegian "exports" or a direct Balt influence on Danish design is at present an open question. Both alternatives might be valid in view of other archaeological finds, as exemplified in the article
Bidrag till tolkningen av den latinska inskriften på den danska medaljen slagen till minne av Vänersborgs erövring år 1676
No full textThe Danish medal struck to commemorate the capture of Vänersborg in 1676 duringthe Scanian War (1675–1679) features a Latin inscription: Hic transiit invia virtus. In this article different interpretations of the inscription are subjected to renewed scrutiny, which will lead to the rehabilitation of a previously rejected interpretation as part of a double meaning of the inscription itself. Being a token of Latin war propaganda of 17th-century Scandinavia, the medal and its inscription are studied with due attention given to both the historical context and the philological aspects of Early Modern Latin

Kungaval och hednatempel : en alternativ tolkning av Adam av Bremens Ubsola-skildring
No full textThe heathen temple of the Viking Age Swedes, as described by Adam of Bremen c.1075, Ubsola, was questioned by many scholars towards the end of the 20th century. This attitude has changed in the last decade or so since the excavation of some build- ings which have been interpreted as having had a cultic purpose, especially the one at Uppåkra in Scania. In recent times there has generally been no doubt that the place Adam describes was Old Uppsala, located a few kilometres north of today’s Uppsala. The author emphasizes the many differences between this site and Adam’s account and gives an alternative location, namely Mora thing, east of Uppsala, where the important ceremonies connected to the taking of Swedish kings took place in the Middle Ages. At this place both the geographical and the archaeologi- cal features are well in accordance with Adam’s description
Children aboard the 17th c. warship Kronan? : four non-adult hip bones found among the skeletal remains
No full textIn Britain, warships did not officially exclude women until the early 19th c. (Hacker 1981, p.657). The non-adult skeletons reported here indicate similar traditions in Sweden, as family members appear to have accompanied Swedish navy sailors and/or soldiers even aboard the large military ships of the 17th century
