1	Ensamgravar och gravfält : olika begravningsmönster under romersk järnålder på Gotland / Solitary Graves and Grave Fields : different burial patterns during Roman Iron Age on Gotland Stenström, Karin January 2011 (has links) The aim of this thesis is to make a comparison between solitary graves and graves in grave fields from the Roman Iron Age on Gotland, Sweden. Differences in burial customs, morphology, dating, gender, age, grave-goods and social status are compared between 19 solitary graves and graves in three different grave fields in different parts of Gotland. An attempt is made to explain these differences and to discuss which functions the solitary graves had. Discussions about whether it is possible to distinguish social status and gender with the help of grave-goods are also made in connection to the determination of status and sex. graves solitary graves grave fields Roman Iron Age Gotland gravar ensamgravar gravfält romersk järnålder Gotland
