Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Traditional approaches for understanding environmental governance - such as environmental policy analysis or natural resources management - do not adequately address the gamut of human-natural system interactions within the context of the complex biogeophysical cycles and processes of the planet. This is perhaps more so in the African regional context where the complex relationships between modern and traditional governance systems and global change dynamics are arguably more pronounced. The Earth System Governance (ESG) Analytical Framework encompasses diverse systems and actors involved in the regulation of societal activities and behaviors vis-a-vis earth system dynamics. The concept encompasses a myriad of public and private actors and actor networks at all levels of policy and decision-making. The existence of, and interaction among, these diverse actors and systems, however, is under-researched in the African context. Various research approaches taken to address crucial global environmental change (GEC) challenges in Africa have proven to be inadequate because they tend to overlook the complex interactions among the various local actors, players, and indigenous conditions and practices vis-a-vis GEC system drivers and teleconnections. Similarly, the regional peculiarities in terms of governance typologies and sociocultural diversity highlight the need for nuanced understanding of the complex interactions and nexuses among multiple actors and interests and Earth system processes. However, this diversity and complexity has often been lost in generalized enquiries. We argue that examination of the governance-GEC nexus through the aid of the ESG Framework would provide a much broader and more helpful insight.

- In the twelfth century the Norbertine order was introduced in parts of Scandinavia. One initiator in the north was Eskil, the powerful archbishop of Lund. However, in the beginning of the thirteenth century the mendicant orders were introduced by successors to the archbishopric. This led to a general decline of other orders. In spite of that the Norbertines managed to prosper in Bäckaskog, an abbey in the East Danish province of Scania. With Bäckaskog as a starting point I have studied the changing relationship between the Norbertines and the secular power, during the age of the Backsteingotik, and the consequences for the Norbertines in the eastern part of the Danish – Norwegian circary. In the study different methods and sources were used to obtain a cleared and more detailed picture of the past than is possible with more traditional archaeology. As well as traditional “on site” archaeology, the understanding of the landscape and its influence on the changing relationship between the Norbertines and the secular power has been taken in consideration. In the following article some of the results and methods are presented.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The last decades of the 10th century saw an upheaval in interregional contacts that shattered old arrangements. Some of the nodes in the network were abandoned. Sigtuna seems to be established in the wake of Birka’s demise, but it took two or three decades before foreign guests found their way on a regular basis. With the structural pre-millennium re-arrangement, negotiations with both Continental northwestern Europe and the West Slavs seem to be put aside. Instead, the contacts with Rus’ were strengthened as the fur trade gained more attention. As many syntheses have been based solely on written sources or numismatic evidence, the interpretations have been biased. In a theoretical and methodological perspective, focus on individual sources can lead to contradictive interpretations. Taking several different artefacts into the analysis, it is possible to discuss anew when the Continental visitors themselves came into the Baltic Sea basin. Scandinavians sailing to Schleswig and Alt-Lübeck maintained regular trade contacts. An investigation on secular jewellery and sacred objects however indicate that individual actors from northwestern Continental Europe visited Sigtuna from the 1st quarter of the 11th century. Signs of German speaking visitors on a larger scale cannot be seen until the transition into the 12th century.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The existence of slavery in Viking-Age and high medieval Scandinavia is accepted as a fact. Law codes, literary sources and some few burials vouch for that. It is, however, more complicated to ascertain regional differences in the use of slaves, their ethnic identities and geographical distribution, as well as changes in the intensity of their exploitation over time. A new source, household pottery produced from the tenth to the thirteenth century, can shed some light on these questions. This paper suggests that the production of household pottery in Scandinavia was a task for individuals in bondage and interprets it as a female chore, taught from generation to generation through tacit knowledge. Thus, pottery styles can reveal ethnic and cultural affiliations of the producers. The chronological and geographical distribution of foreign ceramic traditions indicates the origin of the slaves, or ambátts, as the female thralls were called. During the period of agrarian expansion from the late tenth to mid-twelfth century thralls became vital for manors in Scania. Political upheavals in the Polabian area (settled by western Slavs, to the north of the river Elbe) from 983 to mid-eleventh century resulted in the transfer of people from the island of Rügen and its hinterland to eastern Denmark (i.e. Scania). Agrarian expansion and the availability of labourers not only created an opportunity to increase arable land, but also introduced a new group of female pottery producers into the Scanian households. Their transfer to and settlement in Scania took place rapidly and on a large scale, judging from the very short introduction phase for late Slavic pottery and the absence of hybrid forms between this tradition and the local Scandinavian ware. Late Slavic ware became a Scanian cultural trait after only one generation; this tradition is today called ‘Baltic ware’, as it was produced outside the Slavic area by an increasing number of local potters. After the mid-eleventh century, direct transmission ceased due to stylistic drift between vessel forms in Scania and Polabia. Baltic ware continued, however, to be used in Scania until c. 1200 ad.

- The aim of the article is to discuss the interpretation of the Romanesque round church towers in Scandinavia. The article focuses on the 15-19 churches with round towers in medieval Denmark, Sweden and Norway, with the main part in Southern Schleswig and Scania; none are known from Finland. The chronology and social context, function and meaning of the church towers are discussed. Finally a list of the round church towers in Scandinavia is presented.Corrections i text-file 2015.
