1	Sy ända in i graven : Jämförelse mellan tre vikingatida gravfälts textilrelaterade fynd / Sew into the grave : A comparison between three Viking era grave fields textile related finds Johnsson, Elin January 2020 (has links) This essay will treat the Gotlandic textile production during the Viking period (790 AD–1150 AD) by studying the three grave fields, Barshalder in Grötlingbo parish, Broe in Halla parish and Ire in Hellvi parish. The focus of the study are the textile related objects, spindle whorls, weaving tablets, needles and needle cases found at the grave fields. The study will mainly examine the spindle whorls since differences in the weight and diameter can tell us about what type of yarn or thread that was produced and in extent the textiles that were produced. The results will be catalogued, and a correspondence analysis will be done in hope it will show patterns in the material. The study will also look at if there are differences between the three grave fields and in extent on the island. textile production Viking age spindle whorls weaving tablets correspondence analysis textilproduktion vikingatid sländtrissor vävbrickor korrespondens analys Gotland Barshalder Broe Ire Archaeology Arkeologi

6	En gropkeramisk rundtur på Gotland : GIS-analyser av gropkeramiska lokaler på Gotland och osteologiska bedömningar av resursutnyttjande / A Pitted Ware round-trip on Gotland : GIS-analyses of Pitted Ware Culture sites on Gotland and osteological assessments of resource utilisation Eriksson, Albin January 2019 (has links) The aim of this master thesis is to expand on the understanding of the resource utilisation on the 19 Gotlandic Pitted Ware Culture sites: Ajvide, Alvena, Fridtorp, Grausne, Gullrum,Gumbalde, Hau, Hemmor, Hoburgen, Ire, Kinner/Tjauls, Rangvide, Barshalder, Stenstugu,Stora Förvar, Sudergårds II, Visby, Västerbjers and Västerbys. The study utilises theoretical frameworks such as Site Catchment Analysis, Site Territorial Analysis and Optimal ForagingTheory and is based on two main questions: Which animals did the diet on each site consist of? And are there any apparent connections between diet and topography/environment? To answer these questions, osteological records have been studied to get an idea of the animal food resources utilised on each site. ArcGIS has also been used to create height- and soil maps with contemporary shorelines which show how the sites were located in the middle Neolithic Gotlandic landscape. The study has shown that most sites appear to have included a variety of animals like pig/boar, cattle, sheep/goat, fish, seal, porpoise and birds in their diet. The sites with the lowest number of confirmed animals also tend to have undergone the least archaeological investigation, suggesting that further excavations on these sites might unearth more animal species. Additional discoveries show a small albeit noticeable emphasis on marine animal resources, especially porpoise, on southern sites. Sites located in areas mostly consisting of sandy, meager soils also show an increased marine resource utilisation. This might suggest that the area around these sites were somewhat barren and lacking in terrestrial prey animals. pitted ware culture neolithic site catchment analysis site territorial analysis optimal foraging theory diet resource food settlement stone age seal shoreline landscape gropkeramisk kultur gotland mellanneolitikum diet resursutnyttjande näringsfång boplats stenålder säl strandlinjer landskap Ajvide Alvena Barshalder Fridtorp Grausne Gullrum Gumbalde Hau Hemmor Hoburgen Ire Kattlunds Kinner Tjauls Rangvide Rojrhage Stenstugu Stora Karlsö Stora Förvar Sudergårds Visby Västerbjers Västerbys Archaeology Arkeologi
