The purpose of this essay is to analyze the study of Nordic Bronze Age oakcoffin-burialmounds from dif-ferent Bronze Age periods. By presenting and analyzing casestudies such as: Håga, Borum Eshøj, Lusehøj and Skelhøj. With all cases representing different subperiods within Montelius periodization of the nordic bronze age: Skelhøj period II, Borum Eshøj III, Håga IV and Lusehøj V, thus presenting a good overview of the period as a whole. Analysis will be based on questions relating to discussions and interpretations that researchers have published regarding oakcoffin burialmounds. The is to aim contribute a deeper overall understanding of how researchers have dealt with the oakcoffin burialtradition during the Nordic Bronze Age. The results of my analysis indicate some common themes among researchers. Themes such as emphasis on: contact-networks, status, burial practice and conservation is often included in the study on oakoffin burialmounds. The main difference between cases is the opportunities that indi-vidual burials give researchers.
