Cultural identity? The Middle Neolithic Pitted Ware complex in southern Scandinavia
- 2015

In: Neolithic Diversities : Perspectives from a conference in Lund, Sweden. - 0065-0994. - 9789189578609 ; , s. 66-74
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this short article is to question the archaeological classification of the Neolithic archaeological cultures, and to raise questions about how to understand the fragmentary material culture in terms of social agency and cultural expression. e settlement of Jonstorp in southern Sweden as a case of the south Scandinavian Pitted Ware complex presents theoretical and methodological implications for the study of economic systems in emerging complex societies. We have problems understanding the time in question. The problems might be in the archaeological material and our classifications, in our methods and our ability to understand the past. However, the narrative of the Neolithization and the introduction of animal breeding and cereal production in southern Scandinavia describe a chaotic period with the construction of monuments and enclosures, technological innovations and colonizing the landscape. Does the material culture at the Pitted Ware sites reflect encounters between regional cultural identities? Can we talk about clashing cultural identities in altered regional economic systems in Scania, southern Scandinavia and in the rest of Europe? My contribution to the debate involves anthropological theories of economic systems, sociological theories of cultural representation, conflict and identity, and above all a critical perspective on archaeological classification.

Burial in the Swedish-Norwegian Battle Axe Culture : questioning the myth of homogeneity
- 2015
-
In: Neolithic Diversities : Perspectives from a conference in Lund, Sweden. - 0065-0994. - 9789189578609 ; , s. 98-106
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 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.

The proper way of dwelling at the Early Neolithic gathering site of Almhov in Scania, Sweden
- 2015
-
In: Neolithic Diversities/Acta Archaeologica Lundensia, Series In 8°. - 0065-0994. - 9789189578609 ; 65, s. 173-187
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Early Neolithic (c. 4000–3500 BC) site of Almhov, located in southwestern Scania, Sweden, is interpreted as a gathering and feasting site, subsequently transformed into a burial site with ancestral monuments. The focus of the article is on the pit pairs and pit clusters at the site, and on the dierential distribution of artefacts and animal bones within them, thereby touching upon more general topics such as material culture patterning, structured deposition and the categorization of animals during the Early Neolithic.

News from Frälsegården. Aspects of Neolithic burial practices
- 2015

In: Neolithic Diversities. Perspectives from a conference in Lund, Sweden. Kristian Brink, Susan Hydén, Kristina Jennbert, Lars Larsson & Deborah Olausson (red.). - 0065-0994. - 9789189578609 ; , s. 200-210
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The passage grave at Frälsegården in Falbygden, western Sweden, was excavated in 1999-2001. In spite of damage and ploughing, this constitutes the most well-documented bone material from a Scandinavian megalithic tomb. In this paper, I summarize the analyses done so far on this bone material, and discuss implications for the interpretation of burial practices in megalithic tombs. The presence of a number of whole or partially articulated skeletons was one of the most signifiant results of the excavation. ese range from almost complete skeletons to partial articulations. In addition, there is a mass of disarticulated bones but also some bones that seem to have been treated differently, such as a skull group and a couple of bone packages. It is suggested that most of the bones result from primary burials and subsequent disarticulation, but there are also indications of a change in burial practice, and the occurrence of special treatment could perhaps result from alternative, parallel practices.

The scent of sandstone – exploring a TRB material
- 2015
-
In: Neolithic Diversities : Perspectives from a conference in Lund, Sweden Acta Archaeologica Lundensia, Series in 8o. - 9789189578609 ; 65, s. 224-232
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this article is to briefly explore how quartz-rich sandstone might have been perceived by TRB societies. Using the senses as a point of departure, it discusses how sandstone was selected for grinding stones and for dry walling in megaliths, emphasizing the significance of the visual as well as the mechanical properties of the material. The article also acknowledges the complexity of the way in which the material was perceived. The significance of sandstone was shaped by context, implying that a changing context altered its significance. Ultimately, this study is a call for taking materials seriously by exploring them in a more nuanced way. Analogies, for example, can be very useful – not as proof, but as a way of raising questions and scenting the diversity of the Neolithic.

Agency, creolization and the transformation of tradition in the constitution of the earliest Neolithic in southern Scandinavia
- 2015
-
In: Neolithic Diversities. - Lund : Department of Archaeology and Ancient History. - 9789189578609 ; , s. 75-80
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- During the last years a lot of work has focussed on the agricultural transition and the origins of the Neolithic in southern Scandinavia at a broad, inter-regional, rather than regional scale. Consequently, there is broad agreement today that the dispersal of farming into Europe involved both the resident hunting and gathering communities and exogenous farming groups. We also know that for the more widespread adoption of farming, the role of contact between foragers and farmers was very important. But what motivated the transition to farming at a local and regional level? And what processes enabled the transition, and the coeval development of a new cultural tradition to occur? It is my belief that causes and motivations operating at the regional level may well have been dierent from more general and diuse conditions operating at broader geographical scales.In this article I will chiefly concentrate on the development of the earliest TRB, the Oxie group, and try to comprehend at a regional scale the transition from hunting-gathering to farming in south Scandinavia. An important feature is the application of the theory of structuration and agency as a way ofe elucidating the course of this transition.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The comprehensive prehistoric settlement Uppåkra, lasting over a millennium,raises questions on how food supplies and local communities were agriculturally organized. Recent investigations of archaeobotanical remains from theregional center Uppåkra and several surrounding settlements have contributed to new aspects of their agricultural relations. New patterns in consumption show that through its development of garden cultivation, Uppåkra wasa center of innovation in the Scanian Iron Age society also in respect to plantproduce. Consumption of staple crop produce can, on the contrary, be seenas an adaptation to the local agricultural production. Whether or not its roleas a regional center contributed to agricultural changes is discussed in termsof production and consumption of cultivated plants. Similarly, whether ornot Uppåkra’s need of agrarian products influenced the scope and focus ofplant cultivation in the hinterland is also discussed, from both a local andregional perspective.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Redan på 1840-talet hittades en pärlkedja i en grav i Lilla Uppåkra, 1986 hittades ytterligare en vid RAÄ Upppåkra 23, ca 1 km sydöst om Uppåkra kyrka. Dessa två pärlkedjor är bra exempel på hur pärlmodet förändras under 300-talet evt, från mindre uppsättningar med stor variation vad gäller pärltyper till större men mer homogena uppsättningar dominerade av röda, vita och gröna pärlor. I artikeln presenteras de båda pärlkedjorna från Uppåkras omland i detalj och de diskuteras i förhållande till andra uppsättningar från samma tid. Jag tar också upp några möjliga orsaker till modeförändringarna. Sannolikt berodde de inte enbart på ändrade preferenser utan även på ändrade handelskontakter.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)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.

A tale of the tall : A short report on stature in Late Neolithic–Early Bronze Age southern Scandinavia
- 2015
-
In: Neolithic Diversities : Perspectives from a conference in Lund, Sweden. - 0065-0994. ; 65, s. 107-114
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Human stature as a measurement for evaluating physical status is used by the World Health Organiza-tion (WHO) as well as bioarchaeologists. The reason for this is that only about 80% depends on genetic factors, while 20% depend on the environment. Bad living conditions decrease stature in a population. This paper aims to make a short review of earlier reports on stature in Late Neolithic–Early Bronze Age Southern Scandinavia and to provide some new data. It is clear that stature in Late Neolithic–Early Bronze Age Scandinavia was very high, equal to modern statures.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- A discussion of motivations for doing archaeology. In the present there is a conflict between three different perspectives: Enlightment, teraphy and morale. The three perspectives go back to the Antique philosophical concepts of the truth, the beauty and the good, correlating to epistemology, estetics and ethics.

Tankar kring två ringhandtag från Uppåkra
- 2003
-
In: Flera fynd i Centrum - Materialstudier i och kring Uppåkra (Acta archaeologica lundensia series in 8. no.45). - 0065-0994. ; Uppåkrastudier 9, s. 89-96
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Two ring handles were found in Uppåkra by the archaeological excavations. The first one was found by metal detector survey near the church of Uppåkra and was assumed to have beonged to the medieval Church that in the 19:th cent. was replaced by the modern church. The other ring handle was found by in one of the foure large postholes in the cult house and was dated to 500-600 A.D. The ring handles comes from two shrines representing two religions. The christian ring handle has three knobs representing the Holy Trinity. The pre-Christian ring handle has four knobs. A guess is that they symbolize four gods - perhaps represented in the four big postholes of the cult house
