Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper compares the Bronze Age ship settings of Gotland with the vessels portrayed in rock carvings on the Scandinavian mainland. It also makes comparisons with the drawings of vessels on decorated metalwork of the same period. It considers their interpretation in relation to two approaches taken to the depictions of ships in other media. One concerns the use of boats to transport the sun, while the other emphasises the close relationship between seagoing vessels and the dead. A third possibility concerns the distinctive organisation of prehistoric communities on Gotland. It seems possible that the largest of the ship settings were equivalent to the Bronze Age cult houses found on the mainland and that they may even have represented the island itself.

The Indoor Climate in Skokloster Castle

- Skokloster castle is a heavy stone and brick building without any active climatization. It houses a large collection of artefacts shown in their historic environment without any showcases. The objective of this study is to analyse the indoor climate, make a risk assessment and to propose interventions to improve the indoor climate with respect to the long term preservation of the collection. Relative humidity and temperature have been monitored within the castle for more than one year. Air exchange in selected rooms has been measured quarterly using diffusive sampling. The indoor climate is characterized by extremely low temperatures and high relative humidity in the winter. Even though the building does reduce the effect of outdoor variations, the variations in the indoor climate are larger than one would prefer in a museum. The primary risks associated with the indoor climate are mould growth, mechanical damages and chemical degradation. The variations in RH can be reduced by enhancing the effective hygrothermal inertia of the building through a reduction of the air exchange. In order to substantially reduce the mould risk, conservation heating and/or dehumidification would be needed.

Painted wood as a climate indicator?-Experiences from a condition survey of painted wooden panels and climate monitoring in Läckö castle, a dehumidified historic building

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Läckö Castle is an historic building that has never been permanently heated but has been dehumidifiedsince the early 2000s to house museum collections. The purpose of the work was to evaluate thedehumidification performance and compare the climate with the state of preservation of wooden wallpaintings. Compiled climate recordings for different rooms in the castle from 1997 to 2009, before andduring dehumidification, were used and compared to the outside climate. The RH set point value of 70 % for dehumidification was not reached often, especially in winter with high outside RH. Wood painted witha linseed oil paint performed well, whereas paint containing resin was seriously damaged. It is concludedthat microclimatic differences in relation to dominating wind direction are important. The air exchangeof the building is very decisive for dehumidification efficiency.

Archaeological Investigations of a Stone Platform at the MalaefonoPlantation, Upolu, Samoa

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- During field work in 2005 our attention was drawn to an interesting prehistoric remain at the Malaefono organicplantation close to Salei’moa village on ’Upolu. Several stone platforms/stone heaps and remains have been reported removed due to farming activities during the last century, which indicated that the plantation area previously housed habitations. During 2006 we carried out archaeological investigations on a remaining stone platform in the area. This“star/cog” shaped platform, with eight protrusions was mapped and test excavated. The investigations showed its internal structure and its relation to other features and the surrounding landscape. The excavation also gave indications of settlement activities prior to the construction of the platform at this site. This paper presents the results of the investigationand discusses the star mound concept in general.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- 1 april 2009 besökte de båda författarna till föreliggande artikel en plats med ett forntida monument som kom att bli något av en följetong det kommande året. Platsen som enligt den gotländske stenåldersforskaren Nils Lithberg hyste en möjlig dös, är belägen vid gården Licksarve och är enligt ett foto gårdsplanen eller ladan kvar, men de gamla stenarna står trots allt kvar där de till synes alltid stått. Vid ett ingående grävande i platsens historia som efterlämnat ett och annat dokument har platsen, monumentet och dess öde nu i vår pågående forskning börjat ta form…

Approaching the Gotlandic Bronze Age from Sea

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- Although the Bronze Age is a period when travel and interaction over large areas has been intensively discussed, not least in the Baltic Sea, the role of seafaring and maritime knowledge in the society has seldom been considered. Maritime archaeology has been viewed as peripheral in the archaeological discussion. The sea has been considered as a boundary when interpreting landscapes. More recently a maritime cultural landscape, a seascape, has developed in the archaeological discourse. In this paper I aim to apply and discuss such perspectives in the Baltic Sea region during the Bronze Age, with particular focus on the Gotlandic stone ship settings and their place in the secular and ritual landscape/seascape.
