The Nabberör dogs - social significance of dogs in South Scandinavian Late Iron Age
- 2024
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- During the Late Iron Age, a large variety of dogs and the earliest evidence of dog leashes appear in Scandinavia. This study is based on an analysis of the dogs in the Nabberör boat grave on the island of Öland in relation to dogs from other burials and settlements.Breeding and care of the dogs have been analysed through the integrated life stories of individual dogs, based on age, sex and health status, together with morphology and leash finds. The feeding of these dogs has been studied by examining stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) and their mobility through the strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotopes. The large dogs in Nabberör were kept and cared for in different ways than other common farm dogs. The dogs indicate social significance and links between elite families in South Scandinavia.

- By the Merovingian Period (6–8th century CE) a large variety of dogs and the earliest evidence of dog leashes appear in South Scandinavia. This indicates exchange, breeding and use of new types of dogs in this period. The purpose of this study is to examine the social significance and function of dogs in the Merovingian Period in South Scandinavia based on an analysis of the Nabberör boat grave on the island of Öland (Sweden) in the Baltic Sea in relation to dogs from settlements and other burials. Breeding and the care of dogs have been analysed through the integrated life stories of five individual dogs, based on age, sex and health status, together with morphology and leash finds. The dogs were mainly healthy, of young age and large in a size that neither are found earlier nor later than the Merovingian Period in South Scandinavia. The feeding of these dogs has been studied by examining stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) showing they have been eating terrestrial food and probably mainly meat. The mobility of the dogs studied by the strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotopes indicates that one dog may originate from Öland while the other from at least two different areas of mainland Sweden. The result shows that dogs in Nabberör were kept and cared for in different ways than common farm dogs, indicating the significance and use of dogs in various social and hierarchical dimensions in the Merovingian period in South Scandinavia.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The bird fibulae were used for a relatively short period in the seventh century in the southern Scandinavian Late Iron Age, the Vendel Period. A close visual and contextual analysis of the bird fibulae propose that their form and decoration indicate a falconry association. Their outline and ornamentation are suggestive of raptors and the tethering of these birds in falconry practice. Their archaeological and social contexts, and possible pre-Christian mythological connections suggest that they were primarily associated with high-status women, the goddess Freyja, and the practice of falconry (hawking). The socio-political world of the bird fibulae, and the messages they engendered, embodied and communicated, was maintained in a spectrum of alliances and conflicts in the realms in southern Scandinavia, before there was further regime change and the bird fibulae and women who wore them, lost their power. The bird fibulae in association with raptors enables a new perspective on the artworks, social mobility and political power.
