Kulturmiljöer vid vattendrag : uppföljning av länsstyrelsernas arbete med kunskapsunderlag
No full textEtt huvudlöst förslag : angående den tredje individen i grav 7 från Ire
No full textIn the current exhibition on Swedish prehistory at the Swedish History Museum, visitors can observe an extraordinarily emotive Stone Age grave containing the skeletons of a man and a small child. However, the grave was interpreted by the excavators as containing three skeletons. The third skeleton has for some reason been omitted from the exhibition altogether. At the time of the excavation the omitted skeleton was found without the cranium and was placed slightly below the bent legs of the other two skeletons. I argue that the three skeletons, although perhaps representing two burial episodes, should be regarded as relating to one another in a grave assemblage. Instead of presenting the cropped grave assemblage in order to discuss family norms in the past, as is the case in the current exhibition at the museum, we might instead exhibit the assemblage in its entirety as a means to discuss temporal and cultural variations in the attitudes towards "proper" graves, the body and the sacred
A Central Scandinavian hall at a magnate farm near Uppåkra
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to discuss a hall building of Central Scandinavian type at a magnate farm at Hjärup, close to the central place of Uppåkra. The few other buildings of this type in Scania are presented as well. The background for the presence of these houses in Scania and the house at Hjärup in particular is discussed. It is suggested that the Central Scandinavian houses in Scania are too few to presume a major immigration of people from central Scandinavian areas. Instead, they indicate a small influx of individuals, friends and allies to the Uppåkra leaders and probably men from that area who had been members of the Uppåkra leaders’ retinue. This article indicates that houses, like other material cultural artefacts such as jewellery, can be used as signs of contacts between different areas
Hollow comb rivets made from strip-drawn copper wire and two possible antler draw plates from 11th–12th c. Sigtuna, Sweden
No full textModern metal wire is produced by drawing solid metal rods through a drawplate. Scandinavian smiths used this technique already during the Viking Age, but little is known about earlier Scandinavian methods for making metal wire. It has previously been suggested that the metal rivets in composite bone and antler combs may have been hollow and produced by strip-drawing, but no metallurgical studies have so far been carried out to investigate this possibility
Skötsel av historiska trädgårdar : Granhäckar
No full textI den här skriften uppmärksammas odling och skötsel av granhäckar. Målsättningen är att förmedla erfarenheter som kan främja en fortsatt användning av granhäckar i parker och trädgårdar. Utifrån en genomgång av historisk trädgårdslitteratur tar skriften upp exempel på hur gran har klippts genom tiderna och pekar på hur granhäckar har använts. Fokus läggs på hantverket. Frågor och problem lyfts med utgångspunkt från erfarenheter av skötsel arbete i några av landets kulturhistoriska parker, trädgårdar och kyrkogårdar idag. Det är inte bara granhäckar i sig som är ett kulturarv värt att bevara. Det handlar lika mycket om att bevara och utveckla kunskap om och färdigheter i hur man åstadkommer välmående och funktionella häckar. Samutgivning med Hantverkslaboratoriet.</p
Förstudie Del A Underlag till en FoU-strategi : inspel till myndighetens strategiska plan 2021-2023
No full textSyftet med förstudien är att ta fram ett underlag till en FoU-strategi för myndigheten. Den ska användas som inspel till myndighetens kommande strategiska plan 2021– 2023. Myndigheten saknar en FoU-strategi som omfattar hela verksamheten. Idag utförs en liten del egen forskningsverksamhet främst runforskning och en större del annan FoU-verksamhet. I stort sett all FoU utförs i samarbete och/eller samverkan med externa parter exempelvis museer, universitet och högskolor. I rapporten har sex kategorier av FoU-verksamhet identifierats. De flesta avdelningar utför FoU-verksamhet främst Kulturvårdsavdelningen, men även Arkiv och bibliotek samt Informationsavdelningen. Kulturmiljöavdelningen arbetar främst operativt med FoU-anslaget och det tillhörande externa FoU-programmet. Staben arbetar strategiskt med FoU-frågor i Sverige och inom EU samt ansvarar strategiskt för det externa FoU-programmet
A new documentation of "Runohällen" (Gerum, Tanum)
No full textThis paper presents the results of a recent documentation of the rock art panel called “Runohällen” in Gerum, Bohuslän (RAÄ Tanum 311:1). The documentation was conducted using photogrammetry and analysed using a new documentation method. It was possible to identify several new motifs, updating the record from previous documentations. During this work a petroglyph previously identified as an axe stood out through an elongated and as of yet unexplained feature. It is argued that this motif is indeed an axe, but converse to the older interpretation, it is suggested that the motif is turned “upside-down” when compared to the major-ity of petroglyphs on the panel. Several interpretations are considered, but it is thought most likely that the carving had an antagonistic purpose
