- Since its publication in 1962, Mats P. Malmer’s book Jungneolithische Studien has heavily influenced subsequent work on the Swedish-Norwegian Battle Axe Culture. Malmer characterized burial customs as strictly regulated and conservative. Recent archaeological activity in the province of Scania, southern Sweden, provides us with an augmented empirical basis for testing Malmer’s conclusions. In addition, osteological analyses give us new information on e.g. age and sex of buried individuals. The aim of the article is to re-examine Malmer’s tenants, using both his data and new data available to us, emphasizing variability rather than similarity. While the overall picture of homogeneity painted by Malmer remains, it is also apparent that the rigid strictures he emphasized did not fully apply.

- We archaeologists are sensitive to the messages people convey through material culture. In Lund, paving stones carry a powrful message about Lund's 1,000-year-old history. However, paving stones are in fact a fairly recent phenomenon dating from the late 19th century. Thus, paving stones do not represent continuity in the longue duree, but they do represent our idea of what the past was like.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Tingen med vilka vi omger oss har symboliska såväl som praktiska innebörder - även bristen på krusiduller på saker är ju i sig en markering. utmaningen för arkeologen är att kunna utläsa hur människor använder sin materiella kultur i sociala manipulationer såväl som för att utföra praktiska göromål. Ett viktigt sätt att kunna utöva makt över tingen är vid tillverkning, där det finns möjlighet att kontrollera något moment. Artikeln tar upp hur vi kan undersöka de sociala förutsättningarna för tillverkning av tingen. Exemplifiering gäller steget från talande yxor till social dolkar under sydskandinavisk neolitikum.

- It is reasonable to consider that those who arranged the material accoutrements of mortuary practices, i.e. the burial, were making a more or less conscious statement about cultural identity. At least we archaeologists usually assume this to be so. An interesting case can be found in the mortuary practices ascribed to the Battle Axe culture from the later Middle Neolithic1 (2800–2350 cal BC) in southern Scandinavia. When we look at burials which we archaeologists ascribe to the Battle Axe culture we can identify several variations: flexed inhumation of a single individual in a stone-lined pit (referred to as flat-earth burial), flexed inhuma- tion of multiple individuals in a stone-lined pit, and cremation burial. Additionally, we often interpret the presence of Battle Axe artefacts and/or radi- ocarbon dates falling within this period in mega- lithic tombs as evidence that burial in such tombs was also part of the Battle Axe mortuary repertoire.

A sense of place at a fen

- This paper will focus on a sense of place in prehistory. The chapter argues for the importance of the sensuous experiences of places, and in this case natural places, in the creation of memory and shared conceptions of place and landscape. Natural places played important roles in the process of creating the societal order in prehistory and in this respect can be considered similar to monuments in defining a sense of place. Here a fen in Malmö in Sweden is discussed, where artefacts were deposited during a period that includes most of the Neolithic period.The topography, the varying vegetation, the water table, as well as the deposited artefacts, created spatial structures that were experienced through the senses by those who moved around this place and performed the acts of deposition. These experiences resulted in a differentiation of this place from the surroundings, which in many cases acted as a ritualization strategy for the acts that took place there. This gave the place a special significance in thelandscape. The fact that this was a recurring practice at the fen, also underlines the historic significance of the place. The sensuous experiences of the acts, the place and the objects also created relations between people, and as such, a social organization. Variations in the social identities that were created at the fen during the course of the Neolithic are discussed in connection to the surrounding society. It seems the fen was mainly used by those that were not a part of the competition for the highest status in society, i.e. the elite, but rather a social stratum of society less likely to have, and dispose of, prestige objects. This part of society did not consist of a grey mass of people but rather a complex web of social relations.
