21	Borgarna vid vattnets kant : En landskapsanalys av Ölands ringborgar och relationen till vatten / The Forts by the Water’s Edge : A landscape analysis of Ölandic Ringforts and their relation to Water Bogen, Vera January 2024 (has links) Studien undersöker placeringen av Ölands ringborgar i förhållande till källor, kustlinjer och våtmarker under främst romersk järnålder och svensk folkvandringstid. Med hjälp av QGIS sammanställs data från kartor och litteratur för att analysera ringborgarnas placering i landskapet och identifiera mönster genom en Grounded theory-metodik. Resultaten visar att de historiska våtmarkerna sannolikt haft en betydelse för borgarnas placering som färskvattenskällor, kultplatser och försvar. Källor i nära anslutning till borgarna var mindre frekventa, men verkar i vissa fall också ha haft en rituell betydelse. Kusten är alltid närvarande på den smala ön, men att bosätta sig nära den kan ha haft vissa defensiva fördelar, såväl som nackdelar. Med undantag från en borg var Ölänningarna ovilliga att bygga borgar intill stränderna. Studien belyser det mångfacetterade förhållandet mellan borgarna och vatten, som berör försvar, sötvattenförsörjning och ritualitet, och lyfter även intressanta platser för vidare forskning. / This study examines the placement of Öland's ringforts in relation to springs, coastlines, and wetlands during the Roman Iron Age and the Swedish Migration Period. Using QGIS, data from maps and literature is compiled to analyze fort locations and identify patterns using a Grounded Theory methodology. The research shows that wetlands influenced fort placement as a source of freshwater, cult sites and natural defenses. Springs, though less frequently located near forts, were more prominent in areas lacking other freshwater sources. The coast is ever prominent on the slim island, but settling near it likely had defensive advantages, as well as disadvantages. With the exception for one fort, people on Öland were unwilling to build forts on or near the shores. The study highlights the multifaceted relationship between the forts and water, lifting aspects such as defense, freshwater supply, and rituality. Furthermore, the essay suggests interesting locations for further research.

The purpose of the paper has been to see whether the geophysical methods applied (GPR & EM-38) could produce useful results that could motivate its use in similar surveys in the future. Geochemistry has been used for the purpose of identifying possible activity areas on the site. The results have shown that it is possible with a GPR survey to identify postholes originating from the Migration Period longhouse at the site. The combining of several methods have been important for the identification and interpretation of several areas of interest.</p> archaeology iron age roman iron age migration period geophysics geochemistry prospecting ground penetrating radar Fresta Uppland arkeologi järnålder romersk järnålder folkvandringstid geofysik geokemi prospektering georadar Fresta Uppland Archaeology Arkeologi

24	Bad Death at Sandby borg : A Bioarchaeological Analysis of Intergroup Violence and Postmortem Agency of Unburied Corpses Alfsdotter, Clara January 2018 (has links) The subject of corpses from mass violence is surprisingly unexplored, even though the materiality of the corpse carries strong symbolic capital in conflicts. The aim of my PhD research is to create new knowledge about the implications of unburied corpses that stem from intergroup conflicts, and subsequently to add knowledge concerning how intergroup violence is organised to achieve desired social agendas. In the licentiate thesis presented here, I research the conditions for postmortem agency and how treatment of corpses can be studied in prehistory, specifically through the material remains of unburied corpses from the Sandby borg massacre. The Sandby borg case study is explored through a bioarchaeological perspective. Inside the Iron Age ringfort, the remains of at least 26 individuals have been recovered hitherto. Several of the dead display traces of lethal intergroup violence. By integrating osteology, archaeology, taphonomy and social theories, I show how bioarchaeological research can contribute to the understanding of past postmortem agency in relation to intergroup violence as a social process. The thesis is comprised of four articles.

25	Landscape Dynamics : Spatial analyses of villages and farms on Gotland AD 200-1700 Svedjemo, Gustaf January 2014 (has links) This dissertation deals with the long-term dynamics and fluctuations of settlements on Gotland for the period from AD 200 up until early modern times. The settlement structure on Gotland is most often described as very stable and consisting of solitary farms, established in the Iron Age. A contrasting view is presented by analyses of a vast source material from different periods. The source material consists of both physical remains, noted in the Swedish national Archaeological Sites Information System, FMIS and large scale historical maps, as well as other written sources. For the first studied period, the locations of some 2 000 houses are known, since they were constructed with sturdy stone walls and are thus preserved. The source material for the following periods is scarcer, but some hundred Viking Age sites are identified, mainly by the find places of silver hoards. By retrogressive analyses of historical maps, from the decades around the year 1700, and other written sources, later periods are analysed. All available data are gathered in geodatabases, which enables both generalised and detailed spatial and statistical analyses. The results of the analyses show a more varied picture, with great fluctuations in the number of farms; the existence of villages is also clearly indicated in a large part of the settlements. The villages are centred on kinship and the lack of strong royal power or landed gentry meant they were not fixed in cadastres, as fiscal units, as villages were on the Swedish mainland. Two peaks, followed by major dips, were identified in the number of settlements and thus in the population. The first peak occurred during the late Roman Iron Age/Migration period, which was followed by a reduction in the Vendel period of possibly up to 30-50%. After this, a recovery started in the Viking Age, which culminated during the heydays of Gotland in the High Middle Ages, with population numbers most probably not surpassed until late in history. This upward trend was broken by the diminishing trade of Gotland, the Medieval agrarian crisis, The Danish invasion and later events. All this resulted in a decline, probably as great as after the Migration period.

26	To Make Iron of Iron : A Comprehensive Analytical Study of Spade Shaped Iron Bars Pappas Adlerburg, Nickolas T. January 2017 (has links) This thesis aims to provide adequate analytical information on the spade shaped iron bars of Norrland and central Sweden. While their significance has been thoroughly debated for decades, analytical research on them has been confined to cases of single artefacts or theoretical interpretations of their value, meaning and origin. In this study a comprehensive approach is taken into consideration. Based on X-Ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and metallographical analysis this thesis seeks to facilitate new interpretations on quality, production centres and usage based on analytical results. Aiming to settle some of the long lasting questions regarding the artefacts while producing results which can further the discussion by raising new questions, previously unasked.
