Taktil skisstation i utställningen Följa John, Jönköpings läns museum : systembeskrivning och rapport
No full textUnder en kreativ workshop i januari 2018 kom deltagarna, representanter från Utställningsverkstaden och enheten för digital förmedling från Riksantikvarieämbetet, Jönköpings läns museum och utställningens formgivare Form & Funktion, fram till att projektet skulle utveckla ett taktilt sökverktyg där besökare skulle kunna interagera med den digitala samlingen med hjälp av fysiska objekt. Kombinationer av olika taktila objekt skulle resultera i ett urval av projicerade skisser som relaterade till de valda objekten. Interaktionen skulle ske i en miljö som efterliknade John Bauers ateljé, med ett stort slagbord i furu och ett staffli
Sumtangen, a medieval communal reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) drive locality on the mountain plateau Hardangervidda in Norway, once more
No full textThere is a legend about Lake Finsberg. In the older days. The legend says, at the time when there was much reindeer on the north of Hardangervidda, then there was an extensive hunting of reindeer at the lake. In the middle of the south shore is a level and low spit of land that draws together the lake to a narrow sound. It is said that it was here in the sound that the hunting was carried out. Animals on move on the north side were driven in to the water, stabbed and beaten to death while they were swimming and then dragged ashore on the spit of land and slaughtered. Sumtangen is the name of the place. The hunters used long rows of cairn sandwooden sticks with ropes between says one of the legend variants.The rows stretched several kilometers out in the terrain in the form of a funnel that was wide farthest out, but got narrow towards the sound. When the animals entered the funnel they were lead straight into the water. In it were stretched outlines that prevented the animals from swimming to the sides. At the spit of land on the southside [of the sound] the hunter slay ready in boats waiting
Obesutten och osynliggjord : en betraktelse över historisk arkeologi på marginalen
No full textIn the 19th and early 20th centuries there were numerous non-proprietors paupers in the Swedish countryside such as crofters, boarders and inhabitants of rural slums. With a change in the heritage legislation, increased possibilities to archaeologically investigate the non-proprietors of the recent past have emerged, but the archaeological material is still both scarce and of a repetitive character. Thus, multisource methods such as triangulation of written documents, historical maps and archaeological evidence is used to study living conditions in a number of cases. We argue for the importance of archaeology in this context, as there often are arguments against the usefulness of archaeology in a period rich in written sources. We emphasize that archaeology helps provide a more complex picture of the vulnerability and marginalization of poor and paupers. Marginalization could offer new possibilities to the poor and pauper, but also weaker security nets and increased vulnerability. The potential of archaeological studies of landless subalterns can show the multivocality of the lives of the subalterns, in the same way as it shows how the subalterns organized their daily life. We can conclude that much needs to be done on the topic of subalterns, in order to make them more visible and a main-stream topic of historical research. Archeology has a great deal to contribute in this process
The northern margin of cereal cultivation in Sweden during the Middle Ages
No full textOne Medieval farm and one coeval summer farm in the Swedish province of Jämtlandare discussed in the framework of a demographic and economic expansionfrom the regional introduction of agriculture in the early 3rd century until theagrarian crisis in the 14th and 15th centuries. The farm was deserted, while neighbouringfarms specialising in iron production were not. The summer farm, on theother hand, was first used around the time of the crisis.Households in Jämtland had a diversified economy including outland-productionof goods for the European market, for example, squirrel and beaver furs, elkhides and iron bars. This provided flexibility for the households, allowing them tosubsist on barley cropping in a marginal agricultural area, and thus surviving theLate Medieval agrarian crisis. They even increased their outland production ofexport commodities
Kompetenser med konsekvenser för kulturmiljö- och museisektorn : en förstudie
No full textSyftet med denna förstudie är att skapa ett underlag inför en kommande handlingsplan genom att dels övergripande karaktärisera innevarande kompetensbehov inom kulturmiljö- och museisektorn, dels identifiera centrala områden som bör beaktas och aktörer att föra dialog med om innevarande och kommande behov. De identifierade kompetensbehoven är många och av mycket skiftande karaktär och tidigare insatser har i regel varit begränsade och inriktade på enskilda professioner och behov. Följaktligen saknas ett helhetsgrepp där hela kulturmiljö- och museisektorn blivit beaktad och som därtill varit uthållig över tid. Till uppgiftens komplexitet hör att fältet rymmer en lång rad olika professioner och yrkeskategorier med delvis olika förutsättningar som måste beaktas i en handlingsplan. Undersökningen visar därtill att uttryckta behov inte alltid är nya och vid andra tillfällen att det inte handlar om kompetens- utan om resursbrist. I ytterligare fall är det inte ny kompetens som behövs utan strategier för kompetensöverföring och andra kunskapsfrämjande aktiviteter
The spur goad from Skegrie in Scania, Sweden : evidence of elite interaction between Viking Age Scandinavians and Western Slavs
No full textThe present paper focuses on a small metal artefact discovered in 2008 during archaeological excavations that preceded the construction of the E6 road leading from Trelleborg to Vellinge in Scania, Sweden. The object under consideration is a copper-alloy goad which originally formed part of a very particular type of Viking Age spurs known from the West Slavic area, predominantly from modern-day Poland
