- Flyktingkällan [the Refugee Well] at Katthammarsvik – on killing time and evicting people.In the summer of 1945, some Latvians who had escaped to Gotland and were accommodated in a refugee camp at Katthammarsvik, created a stone monument called the Refugee Well in a rock wall in the camp area. This article discusses the monument in terms of trench art. In doing that, several links to other internment camps on Gotland and elsewhere are highlighted.

- Hearths and House foundations: Archaeology in the Sámi cultural landscape of southern andmiddle Sweden: This paper deals with the physical traces of Sámi past in southern andcentral Sweden. From the Norse sagas, and from archaeological sources, there is a mani-fold of evidence of Sámi–Norse interaction and of Sámi presence, and habitation in cen-tral and southern Scandinavia from the Late Iron Age to the Middle Ages. From the earlymodern period there are diverse written sources addressing Sámi habitation in southernScandinavia, and from the 18th century we know of the so-called sockenlappsystemet,an ethnically based, indenture service employing Sámi people. To what degree these earlymodern Sámi kept, and developed traditional practices, has until recently been largelyunknown. Through a combination of sources and methods, from archival studies to fieldsurveys, and excavations, this paper proposes that a strong and continuous developmentof Sámi traditions and practices, though the use of landscape and material culture is vi-sible well into the end of the 19th century

- Leeches and their medicinal applications are well-studied in history. In Scandinavia the use of medicinal leeches for therapy is mentioned already by Olaus Magnus in his Historia de gentibus septentrionalibus (1555). Carl Linnaeus named the species Hirudo medicinalis. In the 1760s leeches became widely accepted as a medicament and the demand increased, not only in Sweden but all over Europe. By the 1830s around 50 million leeches were employed in hospitals every year causing a shortage of leeches all over Europe. However, the species is rare in Scandinavia. In Sweden medicinal leeches have been harvested in the southern part of the country. The local occurrence did not cover the large demand and imported leeches had to be used. In the nineteenth century, over-exploitation reduced many local populations and breeding medicinal leeches in ponds became a concern for authorities in many countries. Several farms for breeding leeches in ponds were also founded in rural and urban settings. We know very little about them, but toponyms serve to remind us of such ponds. This article aims to shed some light on the forgotten practice of breeding medicinal leeches in urban ponds in Sweden.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Svärdet (1663-1676) - a ship built in the Dutch manner. During the first half of the Seventeenth century the Swedish navy relied on Dutch master shipwrights who built ships in what was dubbed as ‘the Dutch manner’ Det holländska manéret. By the midcentury, the relations between the countries deteriorated to war. In this situation the Swedish Admirality sought for shipbuilding competence in England, which resulted in the introduction of the English manner – Det engelska manéret. In 2011 the remains of the ship Svärdet was discovered outside Öland. The ship was built 1660 to 1663 and sank during a battle in 1676. This paper presents the results from the initial survey of the wreck. Together with written sources and some preserved images of the ship it has been possible to get an impression of what the ship looked like. Focus of the paper is to present Svärdet as an example of one of the last ships built by the Dutch master shipwrights.

Ett ovanligt skidfynd från Låktatjåhkkå- / Loktačohkkaglaciären, Sápmi : Skidbruk, vallning, 14C-datering och lipidanalyser

- An unusual ski from the Låktatjåhkå / Loktacohkka glacier in Sápmi – Use, wax, 14C and lipid residue analysis: Archaeological skis dated from the Stone Age to today, are not unusual finds in bogs and wetlands. They are found all over Sápmi, from Norway to the Kola peninsula in the Russian federation. Skis are also represented in rock art at different sites in Sápmi and mentioned in written sources; however, skis found at higher altitudes, at glaciers and perennial snow patches, are not as common. In 2018, nine kilometers west of Björkliden, a fragment of a ski was found by the Loktačohkka glacier. The ski fragment was first 14C-dated to the 15th century; however, presence of vax on the fragment presented an interesting problem. A new 14C analysis of the ski fragment, with the wax components removed, now dated the cellulose from the ski to 1645–1916 CE, i.e. the ski could have been used some time from circa 1645 into the first half of the 20th century. This study highlights the importance of regular surveys of melting glaciers and snow patches to retrieve organic material melting out, as well as the importance of investigating what components wood could have been impregnated with.

- Concealed burials of foetuses in churches during the 18th and 19th centuries: two case studies from Sweden. Miscarriage was a stigmatised subject during the 18th and 19th centuries, and although it must have been a common feature in many women’s lives, it is a relatively unexplored subject in archaeology. Two finds from Gällared (Halland) and Bringetofta (Småland) churches (SW Sweden) each provide a snapshot of how even very young foe- tuses received a dignified and carefully arranged burial in consecrated ground, despite the fact that this was an act defiant of the Church of Sweden Law. This article presents the in- terdisciplinary study of these two finds. This study has enabled a detailed reconstruction of practices related to the handling and burial of stillborn foetuses in the period around 1800. The results reveal not only the feelings of grief and loss that a miscarriage evoked, but also raise questions of a more existential nature about personhood and when a foetus was considered an individual – if at all. The judicial aspects of studying foetal burials are briefly addressed, and the importance of establishing mutual working relationships bet- ween churches and archaeologists is emphasised. Such burials are largely unknown among archaeologists and antiquarians as well as in the Church of Sweden, and one aim of this article is to draw attention to these.

- This paper discusses archaeology with and without borders in Sápmi, and the importance of the state borders in historical archaeology in Sápmi. How have the changing borders affected the field of archaeology and the understanding of the past in the Sámi areas?In the paper, I focus on the border between “East” and “West” in Sápmi, and discuss aspects of the interconnections of archaeology and politics in historical archaeology in Sápmi. There is a need to consider the historical and archaeological developments in the Russian part of Sápmi, which have often been neglected in Scandinavian historical-archaeological discussions on Sámi history and heritage. There is also a need to promote more co-operation between archaeologists in the Nordic countries and Russia across the present-day state boundaries.The study of borders in Sápmi can contribute to a deeper understanding of historical processes as well as contemporary heritage processes in Sápmi. There is great potential in future cross-boundary archaeology in Sápmi, as well as in historical-archaeological explorations of colonial processes and border construction in the North.

- Time, Archaeology and Art – the Pillar of Culture in Lund. The article is an investigation into how archaeologists and artists may relate to time departing from the so-called “Pillar of Culture” at The Cultural Museum in Lund. The pillar is a six m high stratigraphical section from an excavation in Lund 1913. It was exhibited in 1932 in a context of artifacts from the actual excavation. The pillar was relocated to the Medieval Hall in 1959, where the section was supplemented with a series of pottery and a wooden sculpture by the artist Torsten Treutiger. The pillar was moved again later in time and became a part of the Metropolis exhibition that opened in 1999. Stratigraphic thinking and methodological practice are followed from the 17th century to the present. An excavated section of a “kitchen midden” exhibited at the National Museum of Copenhagen is identified as a possible model. The pillar is analyzed as a visualization of the history of Lund based on different types of sources, which are combined – soil, artifacts, written documents and monuments. From the beginning the pillar was supposed to represent 10.000 years, later a period of only 658 years, the “long Danish Middle Ages”.

- Although finds of nails and fittings are common from urban, early modern archaeological sites, they are rarely used in the interpretations of the excavated buildings. These finds are often poorly documented and they seldom get preserved once the excavation report is completed. This means that the finds in many cases cannot be used in future research projects. In this article, we discuss the potential of these types of artefacts in research on early modern buildings and house construction. We furthermore discuss what would be required in the handling of the material in order for it to be used as a general resource.
