1	Kremering och begravning : Brandgravar från järnåldern i Järvafältet Andersson, Jaucqline January 2021 (has links) This bachelor thesis examines osteological analyses on cremated bones and burial contexts in Sweden. It strives to investigate in more detail how the body has been used ritually and applied in such context and how cremated bones are buried in the ground. There has often been some form of transformation associated with cremation, both metaphorically and physically. The body goes from one state to another, which may have affected the various rites performed in correlation with cremation. In many cases, it was about preparing the dead for the next step and transition from death to the afterlife or whatever was thought to follow. To limit the scope, the focus will be on a specific period, namely the Iron Age. This is a theoretical thesis based on a literature study and thus no practical analyses of cremated bones were performed, but the work examines archaeological reports made about the subject area.

2	Gravskick i Gotländska Skeppssättningar : En osteologisk analys av kremerade ben / The burial practice in Gotlandic ship settings : an osteological analysis of cremated bones Blinova Högberg, Sofya January 2019 (has links) This thesis will focus on stone ship settings and the burial practice surrounding them. Over 400 stone ships have been found in Gotland but only 70 of them have been studied and even less osteological analyses have been made. The burials in focus will be four ships which are all made of pieces of limestone formed like ships and are located under the surface opposed to the other types of stone ships settings that are made of big raised rocks. The ships in question are graves therefore the study will focus on the monuments as burial places and will seek so see similarities and differences in the outer and inner burial practice. By analyzing cremated bones, I will determine the age, sex and the number of individuals buried and with the help of the artefacts find possible patterns that can help determine the inner burial practice.
