1	Dubbeleggade miniatyryxor : En studie om neolitiska bärnstensminiatyrer / Double-edged miniature axes : A study about neolithic miniature axes in amber Karlsson, Amanda January 2023 (has links) Den här studien är en utforskning av dubbeleggade miniatyryxor av bärnsten som hittas i neolitiska gravar. Tre gravplatser har presenterats: ett flatmarksgravfält i Borgeby, flatmarksgravar i Ajvide på Gotland, och tre gånggrifter i Danmark. Dubbeleggade miniatyrer av bärnsten hittas i alla. Genom att använda praktikteori och begreppet habitus är syftet att uppsatsen ska ge insikt i varför miniatyrerna uppträder i Borgeby, och vad de kan ha haft för betydelse i samhället. En komparativ metod har använts för att jämföra gravplatserna, för att undersöka om det finns några likheter eller skillnader mellan dem. Resultatet visar att människorna i Borgeby hade kontakter med omvärlden. Bärnstenen var importerad från Danmark eller inspirerad av den danska trattbägarkulturen, och gravskicket i sig är inspirerat av den gropkeramiska kulturens gravar. / The study is an examination of double-edged miniature amber axes found in neolithic graves. Three different gravesites stand at the center of the essay: a flat grave field at Borgeby in Skåne, flat graves at Ajvide on Gotland, and three different megalithic passage graves in Denmark. Double-edge miniatures in amber appear in all of them. Using practice theory and the conceptof habitus the essay aims to give an insight in why they appear at Borgeby, as well as what double-edged axes might have meant to the people depositing them in graves. A comparative analysis of the above-mentioned gravesites will also be made, to examine whether any obvious similarities or differences exist between them. The results show that people in Borgeby had connections to the surrounding world. The miniature amber objects seem to be imported from Denmark or inspired by Danish shapes, whereas the graves themselves seem to be inspired by pitted ware culture.

2	The gold of the north : Amber in the Roman Empire in the first two centuries AD / Nordens guld : Bärnsten i det romerska riket under de två första århundradena e.Kr. Lundgren, Olle January 2018 (has links) Amber has been a recurring luxury around the Mediterranean Sea for thousands of years in various cultures. This study treats the first two centuries AD in the Roman Empire. The early centuries of the Empire saw a brief period of relative calm in which Baltic amber became a fashion in Rome. The purpose of this investigation is to explain how and why amber journeyed from the northern oceans of Germania into Rome, and how it expressed itself in the Empire. The Amber Road between the Baltic Sea and Rome is well trodden by modern researchers, but very little has been written about why amber arrived in various contexts. The questions are on the topics of the amber’s origin, how it was consumed and by whom. Throughout the study, the agency of amber is considered in order to approach the source material from a new angle. The first chapter investigates what effect the geographical origin and trade had on the agency of amber. The first part of the second chapter discusses amber in material culture as well as examples of amber items in ancient texts. The second part of the second chapter analyses perfume vessels made from amber. The last chapter is on the topic of amber as a luxury. The discussion and conclusion argues that rich women were major consumers of amber in Rome. amber amber road Rome Germania luxury agency early empire perfume bärnsten Rom Germanien lyx parfym bärnstensvägen Antikvetenskap
3	En arkeologi av det animistiska : Om den mesolitiska ornamentiken i Östersjöområdet / An Archaeology of Animacy : On the Mesolithic Ornamentation of the Baltic Sea Solfeldt, Erik January 2021 (has links) This thesis is focused on the material known as the Mesolithic portable art. Earlier research have interpreted the material as representative art relating to ideology, mythology, prestige, ritual practices,and tribalism. Such interpretations are based on theoretical frameworks that build on hylomorphism and Cartesian metaphysics. By a change of theoretical framework, to a new animistic perspective based on a combination of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s rhizome theory, Tim Ingold’s meshwork and Giordano Bruno’s theory of bonds in general, followed by the use of ChantalConneller’s method rhizomatic chaîne opératoire, I conclude that the motifs on the tools and pendants are communications to the animated subjects that make up and inhabit the environment. Furthermore, I conclude that the binary positions of function and ritual cannot be applied when studying the formgenerating process of this material, as the tools and pendants along with their applied motifs are a result of what is in between these binary positions.
