1	Att stanna eller flytta? : Kontinuitet och diskontinuitet i det uppländska kulturlandskapet mellan mellersta och yngre järnåldern / To Stay or to Leave? : Continuity and Discontinuity in the Cultural Landscape of Uppland during the Transition between the Middle and Late Swedish Iron Age Jansson, Fredrik January 2020 (has links) This paper studies continuity and discontinuity in the eastern Mälaren valley during the transition between the middle and late periods of the Swedish Iron Age. Historically this period has been seen as a period of population decline and turbulence but newer research has questioned this premise. In the areas studied in this paper one showed signs of discontinuity whereas the other seemed to have expanded. The discontinuity could possibly be explained with tectonic uplift causing the waterways over time to become non-traversable. Furthermore I could show a potential link between high status settlements and control over important paths for communication over water. kulturlandskap kontinuitet diskontinuitet Uppland Sverige Mälardalen järnålder mellersta järnåldern yngre järnåldern stensträng stensträngar gård gårdar huvudgård huvudgårdar kammargrav kammargravar landhöjning Archaeology Arkeologi
2	Deformerade vikingasvärdi Uppland under yngre järnåldern : En undersökningomfenomenets djupare betydelser Berglund Svensson, Robin January 2023 (has links) The purpose of this essay is to investigate the deformed Viking swords as seen in the historical Swedish province of Uplands during the Late Iron Age.Three sites have been selected for their concentration of deformed and fragmented swords,as well as other phenomena that are part of the phenomenon. Birka,Kiplingeberg and Söderby are the three choose parts of Upland chosen for the similarities and difference of the swords appearing in cremation graves. To get a deeper understanding of the phenomenon beyond “killing of an object”, the theoretical perspective of charismatic objects, personhood and ritual theories have been used to approachthe swords.This will allow the essay to address the question of why different forms of swords appear and discuss who the form was for.
