1	Bildstenen från Fröjel : port till en glömd värld Andreeff, Alexander January 2001 (has links) This essay deals with a picture-stone that was found in a pre Christian grave during the archaeological excavations of the Viking Age harbour and trading place at Fröjel parish, Gotland, in 1999. The stone is at least 100 years older then the male grave in which it was found. The picture-stone can be dated to late 8th century or early 9th century, and the grave is probably from the late 10th century. One of the main questions in this essay is why the people of that time re-used an older picture-stone in a younger burial. I believe that the stone was reused as a grave-gift. To re-use the older picture stone was to seek legitimacy for the status of the family through the forefathers. The picture-stones were originally monuments erected in the honour of dead men. The elite could display their social position and power through these monuments. The depicted figures on them can be interpreted as symbols of the transition between life and death. The Gotlandic picture-stones of this type have connections to beliefs of Odin, the Norse God of wisdom, war and death. My theoretical perspective is that through studies of picture-stones, knowledge can be gained about ideologies and social structures within the Gotlandic society during the Viking Age. bildsten arkeologi vikingatid järnålder Gotland runsten Archaeology, North European Arkeologi, nordeuropeisk

The breaking point between the old Nordic and Christian religion has often been treated as clear-cut. Defining a period or material culture into one or the other religion is too simple and becomes problematic when a previously established (worldview) religion has been alive and permeated throughout society. This paper aims to illustrate the complexity of this period by studying runestones in Södermanland with pagan symbols. The runestones will be examined together with their context. runestone syncretism vikingage heathenism paganism christianity runsten synkretism vikingatid hedendom kristendom Archaeology Arkeologi
3	Runstenen och skeppet : Platser med runsten och skeppssättning i Södermanland under sen vikingatid / The Runestone and the Ship : Places with Runestone and Stone Ship in Södermanland during late Viking Age. Svensson-Frey, Magdalena January 2022 (has links) The purpose of this thesis is to get more knolwledge on a detailed level about places with runestones in close connection with a stone ship in the province of Södermanland. The knowledge touches upon questions how these places were created but also questions about why they were created through the theoretical perspective of cognitive archeology. The thesis starts with dicussing a possibly new discovery of an original stone setting for the runestone from Sannerby, Årdala parish SÖ 319, that was moved from Sannerby in the 18´th century. The thesis will argue that this original stone setting is possibly, by the author, a discovered stone ship. Further twelve places have been investigated in the landscape with or/that have had a runstone in close connection to a stone ship. One main result in the investigation is that almost all these places are in connection with a grave field and two places are also by tradition named as a local ting. These last mentioned two places have also erected flat stones while the other stone ships are built with low rounded stones. The thesis further shows how and why these places were built, on a cognitive map with symbols in three different themes. The theme of symbols of religion will show that people were much affected by the change of religion from pagan religion to Christianity, and this could express a conflict in the society. The second theme is symbols that express social hierarchy and statements of power, and it expresses high social and economic status with aristocratic farmers who could afford to travel abroad. And the possible importance of language on a high level in the material of the poetic type of runestone texts. The third and final theme is symbols that expresses the marking of a place, one's territory, and the theses suggest that some of these places were created to express the runestones sponsors right to their inheritance, even if the deceased died abroad. But because there was a conflict of religion in the society the close connection to a stone ship could possibly mean that the sponsors of the runestone maybe needed the authority of an older type of monument to prove their right to inheritance. Because not everyone in their local society would accept a Christian runestone as a legal act.

Genom en jämförelse av förkristna teofora ortnamn och tidiga kyrkplatser undersöks kultplatskontinuiteten i Hälsingland mellan vikingatidens religion och kristendom. Även landskapets runstenar granskas i syfte att finna kontinuitet mellan religionerna. Den sammantagna slutsatsen är att kultplatskontinuitet med en särskilt begränsad definition inte kan styrkas, utan endast bosättningskontinuitet. Runstenarna däremot uppvisar ett flertal tecken på kultkontinuitet.</p> kultkontinuitet kultplats teofora ortnamn runsten Hälsingland sockenbildning kristnande runinskrifter vikingatidens religion Religion/Theology Religionsvetenskap/Teologi History of religion Religionshistoria HUMANITIES and RELIGION HUMANIORA och RELIGIONSVETENSKAP

6	Att mura in det förflutna i Herrens hus : Återbruk av runstenar och tidigkristna gravmonument i medeltida kyrkobyggnader i Östergötland / To build the past into the house of the Lord : The re-use of runestones and early Christian grave monuments in medieval church buildings in Östergötland Ohlsson, Rasmus January 2021 (has links) In this study the medieval re-use of early Christian grave monuments and runestones in church buildings in the Swedish region of Östergötland is analysed in relation to contemporary church imagery and practices. Analysis of the practice show differences in application, especially during the early parts of the medieval period, which suggests differences in meaning. Although no single reason can explain the practice, the re-use of the monuments during the early medieval period is, in several cases, understood as different ways for the local elite to increase their social standing and for the Church to legitimise their new role as centre for social gatherings. During the later parts of the period the practice seems to be more standardised and may have become a local variation of the Church´s broader practice to re-use spolia.

This paper explores these stones and why this is by examining the preserved rune stones in two archipelago municipals; Vaxholm and Österåker, their locations and who placed the stones there.
