1	Fornborg och bygd i sörmländska Rekarne under mellersta järnåldern Jensen-Urstad, Kerstin January 2020 (has links) This paper discusses the approximately twenty Middle Iron Age hillforts located in Östra and Västra Rekarne härad in Södermanland. "Härad", an administrative division, is likely to be derived from the earlier hundred division, which was based on equipping and manning ships at a time when society was hierarchical and the elite, through travel, had contact with the Roman Empire, inspiring new gods (such as Thor and Odin) to worship. The Tuna and Berga settlements are part of the hundred division but may also have played a role in organization of the earlier travels. There is a connection between Tuna and Berga and hillforts suggesting hillforts could be part of an early organization for equipping and manning ships. Some of the hillforts have house-terraces and possibly had textile production for the travels, some were possibly built for cult. mellersta järnåldern fornborgar Berga Tuna Humanities and the Arts Humaniora och konst

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
