Yngre järnålderns rituella mötesplatser : En jämförande studie av Lilla Ullevi och Anundshög / The ritual meeting places of the Late Iron Age : A comperative studie of Lilla Ullevi and Anundshög

Dellner, Helena January 2023 (has links)
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att utmana tolkningar av arkeologiskt material som kan spegla rituella handlingar under yngre järnålder. Begreppet kult har blivit ett populärt samlingsbegrepp inom arkeologin men saknar ofta en tydlig definition. Religiösa tolkningar av rituellt material verkar ha företräde framför profana tolkningar – amulettringar tolkas gärna som religiös rekvisita istället för som objekt använda vid juridiciella aktiviteter. Uppsatsen kommer att belysa hedern och alliansernas betydelse i det forntida samhället som en motvikt till den fornnordiska religionen samt propagera för att en plats kan ha använts för både sakrala och profana ändamål. Fokus i studien ligger på kultplatsen Lilla Ullevi samt tingsplatsen Anundshög i Mälardalen. Det arkeologiska materialet jämförs och analyseras med hjälp av litteratur från arkeologi, ortnamnsforskning och religionshistoria. Resultatet visar att platsernas rituella funktioner inte kan åtskiljas genom det arkeologiska materialet. Kultplatsen och tingsplatsen passar båda in på den i norrön litteratur benämnda Vi-platsen, en fredad plats avsedd för rituella handlingar. / The purpose of this essay is to challenge interpretations of archaeological material that may reflect ritual actions during the Late Iron Age. The term cult has become a popular collective term in archeology but often lacks a clear definition. Religious interpretations of ritual material seem to take precedence over profane interpretations – amulet rings are often interpreted as religious props instead of objects used in juridical activities. The essay will highlight the importance of honor and alliances in ancient society as a counterweight to the Old Norse religion, as well as propagandize that a place may have been used for both sacred and profane purposes. The focus of the study is on the cult site Lilla Ullevi and the court site Anundshög in Mälardalen. The archaeological material is compared and analyzed with the help of literature from archaeology, place name research and religious history. The results show that the ritual functions of the sites cannot be separated through the archaeological material. The cult site and court site both fit into what is called the Vi-place in Norse literature, a protected place intended for ritual acts.

Tingsplatsens ordning : Tingsväsendets organiserande roll i svensk vikingatid

Löfving, Axel January 2015 (has links)
This essay provides a study of five Swedish locales in the Mälar Valley and Öland, namely Arkels tingstad, Aspa löt, Tingstad flisor, Anundshög and Signhilds kulle/Fornsigtuna, and their possible use as sites of Viking Age thing assemblies. Historical texts, place names and archaeological excavations are queried through the aid of a theoretical assemblage drawing on De Landa, Deleuze & Guattari, as well as Icelandic, British and Scandinavian research. Following this, I propose that the locales chosen as thing sites were communicational nexuses localised on commons in borderzones between land domains. Thus, space commonly understood as in the elite's periphery insteadbecomes of central importance.
