Meningsbärande skräp. : Spår av rituella handlingar vid yngre järnåldersgravar i Mälardalen. / Meaningful rubbish. : Traces of ritual practice in Late Iron Age graves in the Mälar region of central Sweden.

The main purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the range of small finds and other materials often found deposited in the fills and stone settings above later Iron Age graves in the Mälar region of central Sweden. This study investigates how this material, especially potsherds, burnt clay, burnt and unburnt bones and teeth, flint, ice crampons, nails, rivets and knives, were distributed in eight different grave fields in the Mälar valley. The results shows that most of this material was indeed deliberately placed on or in the graves, with different object types added to particular areas of burial monuments.
