Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The principal aim of this thesis is to discuss the cultural significance of the material remains in the middle of northern Sweden from the last two millennia BC. Different artefacts and monuments from the provinces of Ångermanland, Jämtland and Medelpad are analysed in order to illuminate the often debated relationship between the coast and the interior. The interpretative discussion focuses both on the spatial distribution and on the contextual significance of the material culture. One of the purposes is to examine how different material remains are distributed in the landscape and how the spatial distribution of similarities and differences can be understood in terms of social relations and culture. The material evidence consists of asbestos-tempered pottery, rhombic shafthole axes, fire-cracked stone mounds, cairns, bronze artefacts, moulds and rock art. The thesis comprises on five separate articles plus an introduction and a conclusion.The analysis of the different source materials reveals that the spatial distribution of the archaeological remains is a complex pattern of variation and overlapping between the coastal and inland areas. It is here suggested that the cultural significance of the source material from the studied area should not be described in terms of a dualism of cultures. The cultural setting can instead be described as a multitudinous structure of kinship relations, marriage exchange, ritual strategies and interactional contexts, in which various groups of mobile hunter-gatherers were involved. The distribution of long-term monuments such as fire-cracked stone mounds, cairns and rock art sites played an important role in binding groups from different parts of the landscape together in a fluctuating system of interaction and kinship relations.The analysis further reveals that there is a dramatic increase in foreign bronze artefacts as well as domestic bronze-casting activities in the studied area during the Late Bronze Age. At the same time one can also notice a change in the decorative pattern on the asbestos-tempered pottery, namely a shift from textile impressed decoration to comb-stamped impressions. The spatial distribution of cairn-monuments, fire-cracked stone mounds and rock art sites are studied in an attempt to illuminate the significance of their location in the landscape. The analysis reveals that different types of watery locations seem to have played a vital role for the rituals and communal activities taking place at these sites. Many of the monuments can also be defined as long-term monuments involved in a repeated rebuilding practice during a very long period of time.

Lärarhandledning för SFI-undervisning i kulturmiljöer
- 2018
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Denna lärarhandledning har tagits fram som del av forskningsprojektet Kulturmiljörelaterad SFI, ett samarbete mellan Södertörns högskola, Blekinge museum och Stockholms stad.Handledningen vänder sig till SFI-lärare som vill lägga en del av sin undervisning utomhus i relation till den närliggande kultur- och naturmiljön. Här presenteras exempel på utomhusundervisning som på ett enkelt sätt kombinerar språkinlärning med omvärldskunskaper.

Stäket vid Valstad : Arkeologisk provundersökning etapp 2, Kallåker 4:4, Gamleby socken, Västerviks kommun, Kalmar län, Småland

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In spring 2018, Södertörn University and MARIS, in collaboration with Västerviks Museum, conducted a second archaeological research survey at Stäket, Kallåker 4:4 in Gamleby socken, Västervik municipality, Kalmar County, Småland. At the survey a trenchs were dug on land in connection with a previously known “pole blockage” in the water of Dynestadviken at a place called Stäket. The trench was placed in line with a previously excavated stone construction situated close to the level of the Viking age shore line.The stone “cairn-like” construction lays in line with a timber construction in the water. The 2018 trench was placed in the upper part of the stone construction, 10 m up the beach slope, close to the test trench dug in 2016. The aim was to collect more data regarding the stone structure, it´s construction and use. Among the findings are flint fragments, horseshoe nails, coins and a clay pipe, all with a span from the 11th century to the 19th century.During late Viking period, the place for the site was the most topographical strategic part of the waterway between the bay of Gamlebyviken and the protected inner water around Dynestadsjön. The choice of place gives an indication that the construction during this time is linked to strategy and protection of the rich Iron Age homeland north of the construction.Several of the upright standing poles, both in the water and on land have previously been dated to late Iron age, but there are also some poles and planks from late Medieval/Early Modern period. New findings from 2018 confirm some sort of activities in the area in the 18th and 19th centuries, probably fishing.The exact function of the constructions at Stäket cannot be said at the present time and there are several possible functions. The most obvious interpretation is to see it as a blockage defending the inlet, but there is also a possibility that the remains we know about today actually are a part of a larger harbour arrangement. Other possibilities which can’t be excluded is that the construction could have been used for fishing or that some of the poles are remains of a bridge over the narrow inlet. Combinations of these different functions are of course also possible. Considering the different dating and the mix of wooden material is also very likely that the use and function of the place have changed during history.
