Med passare och snöre : att planlägga ett hus under järnåldern / Compass and strings : the layout of a houseplan during Iron AgeSjöholm, Magnus January 2010 (has links)
This essay concerns the interpretation of house plans in three-aisled longhouses and hall-buildings, in Scandinavia during Iron Age. Full scale house reconstructions need a better basis of interpretations to understand the patterns of roof supporting post holes in excavated house plans. This has led to the thesis, presented here, that the layout of house plans during Iron Age is based on geometrical proportions. In order to prove this, geometric house plans were applied and compared with excavated house plans in 11different case studies, including the fortification of Fyrkat Denmark. It was found that all house plans in the case studies indicate, that the geometrical proportions 1:2, 1:3 and 2:3 of a given circle must have been used for the basic layout of the roof supporting post holes, using a compass and a straightedge. Strings and stones were used in a field study.

Deyughnyonkwarakda - "At the Wood's Edge": The Development of the Iroquoian Village in Southern Ontario, A.D. 900-1500Creese, John Laurence 30 August 2011 (has links)
This dissertation explores the origins and development of Northern Iroquoian village life in present-day southern Ontario, from the first appearance of durable domestic architecture in the 10th century A.D., to the formation of large villages and towns in the 15th century A.D. Twenty-five extensively excavated village sites are analyzed in terms of the configuration of exterior and interior space, with a view to placing the social construction of community at the centre of the problem of early village development.
Metric and space-syntax measures of the configuration of outdoor space reveal coordinated developments in the scale of houses and villages, their built-densities, and the structure of exterior accessibility networks, that involved the emergence of a “local-to-global” pattern of order with village growth. Such a pattern, I argue, was experientially consonant with a sequential hierarchy of daily social encounters and interactions that was related to the development of factional groups. Within the longhouse, a similarly “nested” pattern of spatial order and associated social identities emerged early in the history of village development, but was elaborated and ritualized during the later 13th century as the longhouse became the primary body through which political alliances involving village coalescence were negotiated.
I suggest that the progressive extensification of collective social groups associated with longhouse expansions and village coalescences involved the development of “conjoint” personhood and power in a context of predominantly mutualistic village economies and enduring egalitarian ideals. The ritualization of domestic space during this process reveals that the continual production and extension of social group identities – such as the matrilineage – was contingent upon “social work” accomplished through an ongoing generative engagement with the built environment.

Jernalderens bosetning på Gulli og Auli : Det arkeologiske bosetningsmaterialet fra et fenomenologisk perspektiv / THE IRON AGE SETTLEMENT AT GULLI AND AULI : THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SETTLEMENT MATERIAL FROM A PHENOMENOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVEKjær, Thomas January 2021 (has links)
Historically, Norwegian settlement archaeology and research has depended on secondary materials, such as graves, non-contextual artefacts, and historical maps, often used in a retrogressive manner. Primary settlement materials were scarce, which to some extent justified the use of such methodologies. However, an increasing amount of rescue and commercial archaeology projects, combined with mechanical topsoil removal, has led to a vast increase in available primary material. This paper examines two sites excavated as part of E18-prosjektet Gulli-Langåker, namely Gulli and Auli, using both primary and secondary materials to illuminate its settlement structure during the late iron age. The archaeological material suggests that the two settlements performed continuous dwelling activities within a smaller confined area, though not at a fixed point in the landscape, throughout most of the iron age. These settlements did not reside in the landscape, they were the landscape. As external pressure changed, so did the composition of the landscape at any particular point. The nature, and force, of the pressures experienced during the Migration- and early Merovingian period led to significant changes in the interactions with the surrounding landscape. The result was neo-localization and a contraction of the local social sphere, seen by the changed field of inquiry at the new dwelling sites. A need to mark the geographical extent of the social sphere, as well as an act of dedication to the group, communal gravesites were placed on top of the earlier settlements. The road into the social sphere went through the graves, largely consisting of mounds, creating a theatric and symbolic access and exit point. So, to locate more early iron age dwelling sites one must look beyond the sites from the previous period, using knowledge of contemporary challenges and the phenomenology of the landscape as a compass.

Långhus i Gene : teori och praktik i rekonstruktion / The longhouse at Gene : theory and practice in reconstructionEdblom, Lena January 2004 (has links)
<p>Under åren 1977–89 bedrev arkeologiska institutionen vid Umeå universitet en forskningsundersökning av en boplats från äldre järnålder på Genesmon i Själevad socken, norra Ångermanland.

Struktura a chronologie sídlišť kultury s vypíchanou keramikou ve východních Čechách / The Structure and the Chronology of Stroked Pottery Culture Settlements in Eastern BohemiaBurgert, Pavel January 2017 (has links)
The Structure and the Chronology of Stroked Pottery Culture Settlements in Eastern Bohemia; This work covers the period of the Stroked Pottery Culture (5100/5000 - 4500/4400 cal BC) in a spatial context that in accordance with the current territorial administrative division corresponds to the Pardubice and the Hradec Králové Regions (Central Europe, Czech Republic). It describes and compares the forms and the composition of the two adjacent areas of Neolithic settlements. Attention is focused primarily on the Hradec Králové area, where two main sites are being studied, i.e. Jaroměř and Plotiště nad Labem. Through analysis of the archaeological material and contextualisation of the results within the wider framework of the Eastern part and subsequently also the entire area of Bohemia it is seeking to identify the hierarchical structure of the settlement. On the basis of the documents of remote distribution it also seeks to identify within this structure any evidence of the presence of groups or individuals with exceptional social status.

Att stalla djuren hemma : Arkeologins motsägelsefulla bevis för järnålderns flerfunktionella långhusNors, Cajsa January 2020 (has links)
In this paper, I discuss the presence of farm animals in longhouses during the Iron Age in Sweden with some examples from Europe. Longhouses are often described as multifunctional housing. Though housing animals indoors has been questioned in the past, it remains a generally accepted interpretation. This paper aims to investigate if and how animals were housed inside and how archeologists in the future should work with the issue.

Le schème d’établissement des Iroquoiens du Saint-Laurent : le cas du site Irving dans la région de Saint-Anicet, au Sylvicole supérieur récentThibodeau, Marie-Ève 03 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire a pour but de documenter et de comprendre le schème d’établissement des Iroquoiens du Saint-Laurent qui ont séjourné sur le site Irving à la fin du Sylvicole supérieur. La recherche a donc été organisée en trois volets. La première interrogation portait sur la compréhension du schème d’établissement à l’échelle du site. Pour atteindre l’objectif, une analyse de l’assemblage culturel du site a été effectuée et l’emplacement du site a été étudié. Le deuxième volet portait sur des relations possibles entre deux villages iroquoiens contemporains de la région, Droulers et Mailhot-Curran, et le site Irving. Des comparaisons morpho-stylistiques de la céramique ont donc été faites entre les trois sites. Finalement, le troisième volet de recherche était d’évaluer le type d’établissement du site Irving. Des comparatifs entre sites iroquoiens du Sylvicole supérieur récent ont donc été effectués. Nous avons répertorié divers types de sites documentés tels que des villages, des hameaux, des hameaux saisonniers et des camps spécialisés. Nous sommes venus à la conclusion que le site Irving est un hameau saisonnier horticole qui était probablement rattaché à un village environnant, possiblement celui de Mailhot-Curran. / The purpose of this thesis is to document and understand the settlements pattern of the St. Lawrence Iroquoians with a particular focus on those living at the Irving site during the Terminal late Woodland period. The research is comprised of three parts. The first research objective was to document the settlement pattern characteristics at the Irving site. In order to achieve this objective, an analysis of the site's cultural materials was carried out in reference to the site’s size and location. The second research topic focused on the possible relationships between two contemporary archaeological villages in the region, Droulers and Mailhot-Curran, and the Irving site, in which a morpho-stylistic comparison of the ceramics was conducted between these three sites. Finally, the third research topic focused on identifying the type of settlement site of the Irving site. Comparisons between Iroquoians sites of the Terminal late Woodland period and Irving were therefore carried out. In exploring various types of sites documented elsewhere, such as villages, hamlets, seasonal hamlets and specialized camps. We came to the conclusion that the Irving site appears to be have been a seasonal horticultural hamlet that was probably associated with a nearby village, possibly Mailhot-Curran.
