Hallens död : Hanterandet av övergivna hallbyggnader i Uppland under yngre järnålder (år 550 – 1050 evt) / Death of the Hall : The handling of abandoned hall buildings in Uppland during the late Iron Age (550 – 1050 CE)

Borelius, Nikolai January 2022 (has links)
This thesis seeks to present an interpretation of late Iron Age Scandinavian hall buildings as charismatic. Hall buildings need to be both “killed” and “buried” through being burned down and covered by clay coats, instead of just cleaned up and abandoned. This is due to the idea that charismatic objects need to be “killed” and “buried” either through being interred in a burial or through being deposited in for example wetlands. As a result of the Christianization, hall buildings ceased to be regarded as charismatic since only objects and buildings related to God is regarded as Charismatic in the Christian fate. Thus ceases the “killing” and “burying” of hall buildings as well. As case studies four hall building, two “king’s halls” and two “garrison halls”, have been selected from the province of Uppland in the Mälaren region of Sweden: Gamla Uppsala, Fornsigtuna and the Garrison on Birka.
