Luckman, Ted January 2022 (has links) The discovery of solidus coins on the islands of Öland and Gotland, propose a contactbetween Scandinavia and the Roman Empire during the Migration Period (AD 400-550), buthow did the Scandinavians get access to these coins? In this essay, I will study thestampidentity and coin embossing from 572 coins found on Öland and Gotland. The aim is tounderstand where the coins were minted and during which periods there was a big influx ofsolidus coins to Scandinavia. But also, to understand what European regions the people ofÖland and Gotland were in contact with. This essay will also map certain events that are vitalfor understanding why the solidus coins are found in Scandinavia.

12	Stenbyar & fornborgar : En korrelationsstudie av ortnamnet Stenby och fornborgar i östra Mellansverige Jensen-Urstad, Kerstin January 2023 (has links) This thesis is based on the observation that in the Lake Mälaren region, places with the name Stenby ("stone village") tend to be located next to hillforts. I have researched the occurrence of the place name Stenby with medieval evidence for the name in eastern central Sweden and found sixteen that are located in the Mälaren Valley region. Of these, twelve had a hillfort within one kilometer and eleven were assessed as being from the Migration Period. There is one hilltop settlement in the material: Broborg in Uppland. Of the eleven Migration Period hillforts, ten were located close to Lake Mälaren or had a waterway to Lake Mälaren. Eight of the twelve Stenby places with a hillfort were located in areas that could constitute aristocratic central areas with many sacral placenames referring to Norse Gods and names containing -tuna and -lunda. They are in open landscapes with wide views. Two Stenby hillfort complexes were adjacent to a (nautical) fairway. These findings suggest a central organization within the region. The only exception from the Migration Period hillfort pattern is in Riala Parish, which has an older bank enclosure. Riala is not situated in an Iron Age central district and lacks a water connection with Lake Mälaren. Of the four Stenby without a nearby hillfort, two lacked close Iron-Age burial grounds and are not certain to be Migration Period settlements. One may be associated with a smaller mountain called Onsberget ("Oden's mountain"). Stenby placenames Mälar Valley region hillfort hilltop settlement Migration Period landscape Archaeology Arkeologi

15	The Victims at Sandby Borg : Tracing mobility and diet usingstrontium analyses Calleberg, Kerstin January 2019 (has links) Sandby borg, an Iron Age ringfort on Öland, Sweden has been and is still at the center of attention in media and archaeological research. The massacre uncovered at the site during recent years opens many doors for analyses on the Migration Period (c. 400-550 AD) Iron Age skeletal remains. Eighteen teeth (molars) from 12 individuals and three rodent teeth were chosen for strontium (87Sr/86Sr) analyses. This was done to establish whether these individuals were locals or non-locals to Öland. The analyses displayed a, for the most part, local 87Sr/86Sr ratio. Two non-locals were identified, as well as a pattern of higher 87Sr/86Sr peaks on numerous of the individuals during a certain age span, which could indicate a local weaning process with a special food. / Sandby borg 87Sr/86Sr strontium migration Sandby borg Öland massacre teeth Migration Period Iron Age Laser Ablation Archaeology Arkeologi
16	En öländsk historia : Fornborgar och övriga delar av södra och mellersta Ölands järnålderssamhälle Andersson, Björn January 2015 (has links) This essay is focused on Öland during the Iron Age, with focus specifically on the Roman Iron Age and the Migration period. The study takes its starting point in the large number of fortifications that was active across Öland at the time. The essays main area of investigation will be the central and southern parts of Öland as the fortifications, together with other parts of the Iron Age society around them such as graves and settlement, will be presented. The landscape in which the fortifications and their surroundings are placed will also be described. With the Migration Period being a keyword for almost all the fortifications on Öland, the subject will also be to describe if any sort of change can be seen in the settlement patterns during this unstable and troubled time. This will all be presented trough sources describing work of the archaeological investigations that has been done in those places.

17	Stridens symboler & maktens märken : en studie av gotlands bildstenar / The Symbols of Fighting & the Signs of Power Ragnarsson, Annika January 2011 (has links) This thesis is concerned with the earliest picture stones on Gotland. The study will focus on the interpretation of the motives and symbols that are shown on the stones. This will partly be done by compounding the various motives into one synchronic statement and also partly by studying the manifests of the contemporary roman armed forces on the continent. Instead of earlier interpretations, suggesting that the expressions of the picture stones basically are about religion, myths, sagas and conceptions about the death, my idea is that the expressions shows coherence with roman warfare. My aim in this thesis is to propose that the motives on the picture stones of the Migration Period on Gotland deals with the organisation of power and warfare in this time, both on and outside the island.

18	Anglosaxarna och Brittanien : Kulturell Identitet hos ett Migrerande Folk / The Anglo-Saxons and Britain : Cultural Identity of a Migrating People Lundström, Matthias January 2010 (has links) <p>Many questions are still left unanswered regarding the period c. 450-700 AD, when hordes of Anglo-Saxon migrants landed on the British Isles and by doing so made the starting point in the foundation of England. Who were these Germanic tribes? The theories of how the migration proceeded are today many. The two major theories today concerns whether it was a question of a mass migration or a gradual migration proceeded by smaller groups of military elite. Another interesting point, well worth discussing, is the concept of cultural identity, and especially of these Anglo-Saxon migrants. How do you strengthen your identity as a newcomer in foreign country? Is this reflected in the material culture, in the way you build your houses or how you choose to bury your dead? The purpose of this essay is to shed more light on the migrants that were to become the English.</p> Anglo-Saxons early Anglo-Saxon England migration period cultural identity migration theory Anglo-Saxon graves anglosaxare tidig-anglosaxiska England migrationsperiod kulturell identitet migrationsteori anglosaxiska gravar Archaeology subjects Arkeologiämnen

A number of 208 pottery sherds from the settlements of Roman and Migration Period as well as 16 preserved whole or only slightly damaged vessels from the graves of Migration Period, are analyzed. Together, there must had been at least 173 up to 194 ceramic vessels of Roman-provincial origin imported into region of Bohemia. The main stress is putted on an elaborate catalogue of finds. In the analytical part, the 11, respectively 12 main categories of Roman-provincial pottery featured in Bohemia are set aside, the essential finds are briefly discussed and the possible directions of supply of (not only) ceramic import from the Roman Provinces into Bohemia are outlined.
20	Changing Agriculture : Stable isotope analysis of charred cereals from Iron Age Öland Eklund, Markus January 2019 (has links) The Middle Iron Age on Öland (around 200-550 AD) is often regarded as a prosperous period witha wealth based on animal husbandry. In this study charred cereals from several Iron Age sites atÖland are studied to answer questions about prehistoric diet and agricultural practices. Themethod used is stable isotope analysis of carbon and nitrogen in the cereals, and one further aim ofthe study is to evaluate this method. The results suggest that there is little need for pre-treatment ofcereals before isotope analysis. Most of the grains analyzed were hulled barley and in all sites thereare indications of intensive manuring, as would be expected in permanent field agriculture. Thering forts of the period may here have been places where an agricultural surplus was gathered.Concerning human diet, the isotope values indicate cereals may have been an important part.Crops may also have been used to feed the livestock, possibly with secondary products like straws,and likely to a different extent in different animal species. Finally, the sites from the Middle IronAge all appears to have been abandoned. Heavy dependence on animal manure may havedecreased the resilience of agriculture, making it more vulnerable to unexpected changes, forexample the climate downturn after 536 AD. / Sandby Borg barley wheat oat rye carbon nitrogen isotope FTIR manuring ecology systems networks climate resilience entanglement migration period Sandby Gråborg Skedstad Prästhag Archaeology Arkeologi
