1	Malstastenen, odal och ägandets materialitet / The Malsta runestone, odal and the materiality of ownership Malmström, Johan January 2024 (has links) Runristningen på Malstastenen, där både förfäder och marker redovisas, har tolkats som ett uttryck för odal. Runstenar och hur de relaterar till odal är uppsatsens genomgående tema. Uppsatsens primära källmaterial är Malstastenen. Studien avgränsas till Rogsta socken, norra Hälsingland och järnåldern. För att belysa odalsystemets relationella bindningar, kommer ett för detta forskningsfält nytt teoretiskt och metodologiskt perspektiv att introduceras, entanglement. Analysen visar att odalsystemet genomgår en kris när Skandinavien kristnas. Kyrkan tar nu över själavården och motsätter sig det hedniska gravskicket hög. Här uppstår ett brott i odalssystemet. För att återkoppla den döde till odalsystemet restes istället runstenar som ett substitut till gravhögar. Uppsatsens tolkning av de senvikingatida runstenarna kan eventuellt förklara den stora ökning av kristna runstenar som då sker i Skandinavien. / The runic inscription on the Malsta runestone contains accounts of ancestors and lands and is interpreted as an expression of odal. Runestones and their connection to odal is the overall theme of this thesis. The primary source material is the Malsta runestone. The study is delimited to Rogsta Parish, northern Hälsingland and the iron age. To fully understand the relational connections within the odal system, a new theoretical and methodical approach will be introduced to the odal research field, entanglement. In the analysis a crisis in the odal system is detected, instigated by the Christianization of Scandinavia. As the church takes over the care of the dead and opposes the heathen burial mounds, a rift in the odal system appears. To reconnect the dead to the odal system, runestones are erected as a substitute for burial mounds. The thesis interpretation of the late Viking age runestones might also explain the sudden raise of Christian runestones during this period. odal óðal allodial runestones Malsta runestone entanglement odal óðal runstenar Malstastenen Hs 14 Sunnåstenen Hs 15 entanglement Archaeology Arkeologi
2	The Tripartite Ideology : Interactions between threefold symbology, treuddar and the elite in Iron Age Scandinavia Main, Austin January 2020 (has links) Amongst the Iron Age Scandinavian elite, there are several supra-regional and multifaceted tripartite (or threefold) symbolic expressions. These include expressions found in art, artefacts and monuments, such as the triangular stone-settings, or Sw. treuddar, which may be the strongest manifestation in the landscape. In addition, tripartite symbolism is found in the elite’s óðal-claims and also Norse mythological structures. Due to the widespread pervasiveness of tripartite symbology within the culture of the Iron Age elite, these phenomena are conceptualised in the theoretical framework of a ‘tripartite ideology’. This study addresses the questions of why was the tripartite ideology so enduring within the Nordic Iron Age, in what ways did it manifest and what positions did it hold in the Iron Age elite’s socio-cultural and religious thought-world? This research examines the monumental, artefactual, social and mythological manifestations of the tripartite ideology in Iron Age Scandinavia. The objective is to formulate a theory which synthesises the various expressions of tripartite symbology using a source-pluralistic methodology, which combines archaeological evidence with both emic (insider) and etic (outsider) historical sources, alongside religious studies and semiotics in order to provide a more representative picture of the function of treuddar and tripartite symbolism in the Iron Age elite milieu. The result of this methodology is that the tripartite ideology is connected with the Iron Age elite’s ancestral óðal-claims based on a legendary or divine descent, along with acting as a‘liminal locus’ whereby the Other World could be accessed. treudd tripartite odal ancestral worship liminality Iron Age Old Norse religion Archaeology Arkeologi
3	Slagghögar i Bergslagen under yngre järnålder – en postprocessuell diskussion Ekenhjälm, Marcus January 2023 (has links) The author has categorized and analysed slag deposits in different contexts. The categories are as such: slag on arable land, slag and mounds, slag at graves, slag as grave, slag at settlements and slag at the outskirts. Ironmaking sites and slag heaps appear in contexts that suggest they may have been perceived as symbolically significant for the farm's inhabitants and was included in common ritual practices. There is reason to believe that ironmaking sites and slag heaps have interacted with people and given rise to ideological thoughts, this includes the Odal mentality. Also, the construction of burial fields near ironmaking sites and vice versa, could demonstrate a connection with the past. Iconographic motifs and Norse texts reflect symbolic aspects of iron handling, especially craft and blacksmithing are portrayed as activities associated with ideologically important stories. Ironmaking sites are also found to be connected to symbolically important places such as Torsåker, Vi, etc. Slagg slagghög slaggvarp slaggförekomster järnslagg järnframställning järnframställningsplats odal hög gravhög gravfyllning Bergslagen järn blästplats blästbruk blästugn Archaeology Arkeologi
4	Eskilstunakistornas bruk och återbruk : Tidigkristna gravmonument i Östergötland under medeltiden Körlinge, Max January 2012 (has links) This paper studies the fragmentation and reuse of early christian monuments ("eskilstunakistor") in churches in Östergötland during the medieval period. This is found to have been done in two stages. The first stage shows a collectivization of society. Within religion the change from ancestoral cult towards the saints' cult is important as the fragments are reused like relics. During the second stage the collectivization has been fulfilled, and the reuse is instead part of the christian churches' strategy for incorporating old powerful symbols from the landscape into their own church building. eskilstunakista eskilstunakistor tidigkristna gravmonument medeltid stenmonument kista östergötland återbruk kyrkor stenkyrkor runstenar 1100-tal 1000-tal 1200-tal sverkersgården alvastra östra skrukeby västra tollstad hov odal helgonkult fragmentering visibilitet kollektivisering kult marxism kristendomen religion runornamentik ulfhild stenkilska ätten sverkersätten thegn
