Eskilstunas Fornborgar : En GIS-baserad analys av relationen mellan fornborgarna och dess landskapsrum / The hillforts of Eskilstuna : A GIS-based analysis of the relationship between the hillforts and its landscape

Blad, Tobias January 2023 (has links)
The excavations conducted on the Swedish prehistoric hillforts are very limited. However, a lot of people are drawn to them because of their impressive size, which include preserved walls that can reach over three metres in height. They are frequently associated with legends about giants who once lived there. The majority of the hillforts in Sweden were built during the Roman Iron Age and the Migration period. The purpose for which the hillforts were built has been the subject of intense debate, but it is now generally accepted that not every hillfort would have served the same function. The goal of this thesis is to map the hillforts in Eskilstuna municipality, Södermanland County, in order to better understand their purpose, their topographic locations, and the number of other hillforts that could have been seen from each hillfort. This will primarily be achieved through literature reviews of prior studies on the topic and the use of GIS.

Ett mesolitiskt gränsland : En GIS-baserad studie av Närkes kolonisationsprocess / Mesolithic Borderland : A GIS-based Study of Närke’s Colonization Process

Solfeldt, Erik January 2018 (has links)
The aim of this study is to understand the colonization process of the county Närke in relation to the surrounding archaeologically defined areas western Sweden and eastern central Sweden. By using a comparative analysis and a landscape analysis in combination with a theoretical framework that advocates for colonization as a process and not an event, I argue that Närke was colonized from within eastern central Sweden around 8 500 BC, based on the use of local raw material quartz. Further, I argue for the importance of the sea to the mesolithic people in the area around 7 500–4 500 BC as more than just an economic resource. Around 4 500 BC contact with groups in western Sweden increased which in time brought the idea of farming to the area. The late mesolithic sites in Närke show continuity into the early neolithic age, rejecting the idea of a Funnelbeaker migration in the area.
