Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)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.

On the Road. Paving stones past and present

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- 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.

The "Mental" in Monumental : Battle Axe Culture in megalithic tombs in southern Sweden
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Landscapes, histories and societies in the Northern European Neolithic. - 9783774938823 ; , s. 261-274
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Landscapes, Histories and Societies in the Northern European Neolithic. - 9783774938823 ; 4, s. 227-234
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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.

Early Neolithic flint mining at Södra Sallerup, Scania, Sweden
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Archaeologia Polona. - Warsaw : Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Science. - 0066-5924. ; 54, s. 167-180
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The area around the villages of Kvarnby and S.dra Sallerup in south-west Scania is the only known flint-mining site in Sweden. Radiocarbon dates show that the flint was mined mainly during the earliest phase of the Early Neolithic, between c. 4000 and 3600 BC, thus coinciding with the earliest evidence of the Funnel Beaker Culture in the region. The type of flint, the size of the flint nodules, production debris in the mining area and the concentration of point-butted axes to south-west Scania all suggest that the mining was related to the extraction of flint for the production of point-butted axes. However, considering the abundance of easily available flint elsewhere in the region, it seems clear that the mining was not motivated purely by economic reasons. We suggest that the very extraction of flint from pits and shafts in the chalk was socially and symbolically significant in itself.

Form, Function & Context
- 2000
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This book contains a series of articles based on papers presented at a Nordic symposium held in autumn 1997. The articles have archaeological material culture as their main focus. They deal with the fundamental, but often ignored, questions of how form, function and context relate to each other and how form and in particular function may change with context. The central concept of context - defined as the totality of relationships material culture enters - is of determining importance. Whereas material culture may be summarized as the carrier of cultural identity, the context is the framework in which form and function operate. The articles in this book seek to explore the potential hidden in the interface between form, function and context and they address this relationship from various perspectives.

Sourcing flint from Sweden and Denmark: A pilot study employing non-destructive energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Journal of Nordic Archaeological Science. - 1650-1519. ; 17, s. 15-25

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article presents the results of a pilot study exploring the feasibility of using non-destructive energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometry for chemical sourcing of flint from southern Sweden and eastern Denmark. EDXRF results showed that flint samples from Stevns Klint are all chemically alike on the basis of Si/Ca/Fe and Ca/Fe ratio data, yet they possess markedly different visual qualities and are of different geological ages. Samples from Södra Sallerup, Sweden and Stevns Klint, Denmark are chemically similar. The chalk slabs at Södra Sallerup are re-deposited by glacial ice; therefore the results of the chemical analysis may indicate that the slabs originate from the same formation as that which emerges at Stevns Klint. The samples from Klagshamn, Östra Torp and Smygehuk are visually alike and bear the same chemical signature; all three originate from the same geological formation of Danian age but are from different localities. Common Kristianstad Flint (Hanaskog) is distinctive in appearance and the results of the EDXRF instrumental analysis yielded a corresponding unique Ca/Fe chemical signature. In summary, the pilot study successfully revealed distinctions among flint from three geographical areas: eastern Denmark and southwestern Sweden (Stevns Klint, Møns Klint, Södra Sallerup), south and southwestern Sweden (Klagshamn, Östra Torp, Smygehuk) and southeastern Sweden (Hanaskog).

- Flint was one of the most widely employed raw materials for artefact manufacture in Denmarkand Sweden during the Stone Age, and it continued to be used during subsequent periods.Prehistoric flint mining and lithic manufacturing studies in these countries have attractedconsiderable attention, but there have been no recent attempts to chemically characterize thegeological source materials. This paper builds on a pilot study (Hughes et al. 2010) and usesenergy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis to determine quantitative compositionestimates for nine major, minor and certain trace elements in seven archaeologicallysignificant flint sources in Denmark and Sweden, along with new data on a number of othersources of prehistoric significance. These data provide a geochemical foundation for ongoingresearch devoted to determining contrasts and continuities in the time and space utilization offlint sources in Scandinavian prehistory.

Fragments of life and death : the biography of grinding and polishing stones found in long barrows at the Almhov burial site
- 2014

Ingår i: Landscapes, histories and societies in the Northern European Neolithic. - 9783774938823 ; Frühe Monumentalität und soziale Differenzierung 4, s. 247-260

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The burial and gathering site Almhov was discovered as a result of large-scale archaeological excavations in southern Sweden revealing the remains of five long barrows, two dolmens and a large number of pits, rich in finds. Given the multitude of activities performed at the site including, for example, monument-building, pit-digging, burying, feasting and axe-manufacturing, the site can serve as an example ofthe complexity of large Early Neolithic gathering places. The activities, as well as the physical monuments and pits, can be interpreted as an expression of how Early Neolithic man made sense of the changing world brought about by the Neolithization. Different perspectives as well as archaeological remains of various kinds offer different narratives of this on-going process. Artefacts interpreted as polishing and grinding stones were by far the most common type of ground stone artefacts found at Almhov, and the interesting contexts in which they were discovered,as well as their sheer number, poses a variety of questions about their presence at Almhov. How can we, for example, make these artefacts tell us something about the people in the area and the Neolithic way of life? This article focuses on the grinding and polishing stones found in two of the long barrows on Almhov, and uses them as the basis of a case study of how a biographical approach can be utilized as a method of categorizing and interpreting ground stone artefacts. Why, for example, were pieces of grinding stones placed in connection with the façade of one of the long barrows? Why were grinding stones, broken in half, put into graves? This paper suggests that the tools represented the novelty of making monuments and that putting them together with the dead could have been a way of mediating new practices with reference to the past.

The scent of sandstone – exploring a TRB material

-
Ingår i: Neolithic Diversities : Perspectives from a conference in Lund, Sweden Acta Archaeologica Lundensia, Series in 8o. - 9789189578609 ; 65, s. 224-232
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)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.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have used visual and instrumental (EDXRF, energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence) methods to analyse naturally occurring flint from Gotland and Öland. We compare the results with previously published analyses conducted on other types of flint. We identify two visually distinct types of flint from Gotland: grey and white/brown flint. The chemistry of the more common grey flint is unique compared with other Scandinavian flint types. The chemistry of the white/brown flint is similar to other types of Scandinavian flint, although its visual appearance is unique. Both flint types from Gotland are distinct from Ordovician flint from Öland, both in regard to visual properties and to chemical composition. At present we are unable to identify the geological origin of flint from Gotland.

- In this brief article we present initial results of chemical analyses of flint samples from six Polish sites and one Ukrainian site near the Polish border. The purpose is to examine the extent to which Polish flint resembles or differs chemically from Scandinavian flint. Flint from five of the seven analysed localities proved distinguishable from Scandinavian flint on the basis of chemical analysis. We found that flint types which look the same can have different chemical compositions and that flint types which look the same and have the same chemical characteristics can come from places as far distant from each other as southern Scandinavia and western Ukraine.

- Hogberg, A.; Olausson, D. & Hughes, R., 2012. Many Different Types of Scandinavian Flint - Visual Classification and Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence. Fornvannen 107. Stockholm. Proceeding from previously published studies of the provenance of southern Scandinavian flint based on visual classification and chemical sourcing, this paper presents a comprehensive study of flint provenancing. Existing knowledge of the appearance and geological origin of flint types is discussed and reappraised, and new chemical analyses of flint from 25 localities are presented. The results show that although there are certain problems in identifying the provenance of south Scandinavian flint using geochemical and visual criteria, in most cases these problems can be overcome. The study ends with a discussion of how the results of the study can be applied more broadly in future archaeological research.

The Spread of Flint Axes and Daggers in Neolithic Scandinavia
- 2001
-
Ingår i: Památky Archeologické. - 0031-0506. ; 92:2, s. 193-221
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Flint has a limited distribution in the Scandinavian area, natural sources being largely confined to the southern regions. Here, the use of flint for making daggers and polished axes during the Neolithic is widespread and extensive. There is also evidence for mining of flint at Södra Sallerup in southern Sweden and on several sites in Denmark, but flint is available in till deposits as well. The goal of the article is to study the distribution of flint as a raw material in Neolithic contexts, concentrating on local and long-distance movement. We begin with a discussion of flint sources and their exploitation during the Neolithic. Thereafter we present three case studies illustrating how the use of flint varied over both time and space.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Bird brooches at Uppåkra have a changing biography, as grave gifts, pendants, and scrap metal. The association between bird brooches and birds of prey, and a male face to female jewellery opens questions of identy of the wearer and the male person in question. Following the bird brooches and the connotations of falconry decode both a social identiy and a lifestyle, expressed in the aestetics of the time. Obviously, the bird brooches signal a message within the social elite, between men and women, and in a continantal networking, and contemporary travelling, in eastern and westens direction.

The seashore – beyond monumentality : The case of Pitted Ware coastal sites in southern Sweden
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Landscapes, histories and societies in the Northern European Neolithic. - 9783774938823 ; 4, s. 235-243
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- What is the significance of a place at the seashore? What kind of a sense of place does a place by the seashore constitute in the absence of any kind of monumental structures? Today, it is obvious within the archaeological domain that archaeological material culture is not only functional, but also acts as a metaphor for people’s self-perception. In this article, my assumption is that the different archaeo- logical cultural groups in southern Sweden during the Neolithic represent different social identities and lifestyles. As a result of this, both rival and syncretic cultural encounters existed in the past. Different cultural identities are dependent on scale, very local or regional in Scandinavia, as in other parts of Europe. Undoubtedly, processes of creoli- zation occurred between groups of people and can perhaps be understood in terms of processes of domination and competition. The character of the archaeological material culture indicates a highly power-structured mentality in the Neolithic. In the case study outlined here, the location of the Pitted Ware sites at Jonstorp in the north-western part of Scania in southern Sweden far away from the monumental landscape further south in Scania is the starting point for a discussion of Neolithic coastal sites and seashores.

Keramik i Sydsverige: en handbok för arkeologer
- 2002
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Keramik hör till de vanligaste fynden vid arkeologiska undersökningaroch intar av tradition en central plats i ämnet. I samband med de senaste 25 årens utgrävningar i Sydsverige, har ett mycket stort och varierat keramiskt fyndmaterial tillvaratagits från framför allt Skåne, men även från Halland, Blekinge och Småland. Många fynd har tidigare presenterats i rapportet och andra publikationer. En samlad översikt över hur de nya framgrävda materialen bidrar till vår kunskap om keramikhantverkets utveckling har dock länge saknats. denna bok är ett försök att tillgodose detta behov. Boken presenterar ett urval av den sydsvenska keramiken och i viss mån dess kontext från det 5:e årtusendet före Kristus till tidig modern tid. Urvalet visar främst på de typiska dragen, men inkluderar även ovanliga fynd. den ger vidare en introduktion till keramikens teknologiska förutsättningar och hantverklstraditioner. Dessa är oumbärliga för tolkningen av keramikens funktionella, ekonomiska och sociala sammanhang. Således innehåller boken en genomgång av en rad ceramologiska analysmetoder, som kan ge upplysningar om val av leror, magringsmaterial, formnings- och bränningsmetoder. Även en serie grundläggande råd vid registrering av kärl och andra keramiska objekt finns inkluderade.

- Papers from a conference in Lund, Sweden. The title of the conference was "What's new in the Neolithic". The book brings together the latest research on the Neolithic of northern Europe. In the study of the distant human past, certain events and periods have come to represent decisive passages from one human state to another. From a global perspective, the characteristic feature of the last ten thousand years is that people in different parts of the world, and at different points in time, started to grow plants and domesticate animals. The rise and dissemination of agriculture were crucial factors for the continued existence of humankind on earth. The incipient agriculture is often regarded as the very beginning of human culture, as it has traditionally been perceived in western historiography, that is, as control over nature and the “cultivation” of intellectual abilities. As a result of the increasing national and international interest in the northern European Neolithic (4000–2000 BC), combined with large-scale archaeological excavations which helped to nuance and modify the picture of the period, senior researchers and research students formed a Neolithic group in 2010. The Department of Archaeology and Ancient History at Lund University served as the base, but the group also included collaborators from Linnaeus University and Södertörn University, and from the Southern Contract Archaeology Division of the National Heritage Board in Lund and Sydsvensk Arkeologi in Malmö and Kristianstad. Meetings and excursions in the following two years resulted in the holding of an international conference in Lund in May 2013 entitled “What’s New in the Neolithic”. Invitations to this conference were sent to two dozen prominent Neolithic scholars from northern and central Europe. This publication gives aspects of innovative research on the European Neolithic.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Because of the inexact nature of visual classification schemes and the resulting uncertainties of specifying raw material origins, geochemical methods applicable for sourcing Scandinavian flint have been sought. The authors have shown that EDXRF analysis yields geochemical data sufficiently precise and accurate to discriminate among many different varieties of archaeologically significant flint. However, these results are based on geologic specimens, most of which were culled fresh from in situ deposits. The goal of the present article was to determine if EDXRF analysis could yield meaningful results when applied to archaeological specimens. The Middle Neolithic flint objects discovered in the province of Västerbotten in northern Sweden, some 1500 kilometers distant from any flint sources, were deemed to be a suitable archaeological case study. Results from the Bjurselet analyses suggest that light patination does not appear to seriously compromise the geochemical results, at least for the elements tested here. Although EDXRF data alone were not sufficient for pinpointing the exact place of origin for the flint at Bjurselet, the results confirmed conclusions based on other kinds of evidence. The results provide an incentive to build up a more comprehensive geochemical library for further provenance work.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Many scholars have claimed that the stone battle axes of the Battle Axe Culture were status objects with a social rather than a pratical function. One way of investigating this is to study the context in which the battle axes were manufactured, and by whom. If any object is to serve as a mark of status, it must be possible for someone who wishes to assert his/her superiority over other community members to limit the object’s availability. This limitation may involve a rare raw material, unusual knowledge about its production, time consuming or labour consuming production, etc. My work aims at analysing a number of possible prehistoric status objects, among them the battle axe, in order to ascertain the organisation of the production. This may in turn be related to the organisation of society
