Hos trälar och stormän : Arkeologisk undersökning i Gamla Skogsby september och oktober 2020
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report presents the results from an archaeological excavation in 2020 of an Iron Age house foundation at Gamla Skogsby, Öland, Sweden. The investigated area is rich in prehistoric remains, not least from the mid-Iron Age and the Migration Period which is the period of concern here (c. AD 400–550). The excavation follows that which was initiated at the site in 2019 (Papmehl-Dufay 2020). The house investigated is part of a large farm, just next to an exceptionally large building usually regarded as a cheiftains hall. The finds from the excavation are numerous, including a large animal bone assemblage as well as unusually large amounts of household pottery. As was the case during the excavation in 2019, the bulk of the finds are of ”household” character with an emphasis on preparation of food. The results of the osteological analysis reveal an unusually large proportion of pig bones, which was an important source of meat in connection to Iron Age feasting. Several deposits of animal bones were found suggesting elaborate ritual activities at the site, including the offering of several sheep in connection to the building of the house as well as the offering of a horse in connection to its abandonment. The pottery assemblage includes a large number of vessels of which unusually large portions are preserved, allowing for a detailed analysis of vessel shapes in the Migration Period.The results reinforces the idea of Gamla Skogsby as a major farm in the area in the Migration period, potentially relevant in discussion on the social and cultural context of the Sandby borg massacre that ocurred on eastern land in the same period.

Albrunnaskeppet – arkeologisk undersökning september 2016
- 2018

Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report presents the results from the excavation by Linnaeus University in September 2016 of a ship-shaped stone setting at Albrunna, SW Öland, Sweden. The work was initiated by the ac- cidental falling of the 4.5 m tall phallic Albrunna stone in 2014, and the subsequent plans of erecting a copy on the spot of the original stone. Earlier records describe the stone as part of a ship- shaped monument, an indication that the excavation managed to confirm. Through soil-stripping with an excavator, the dark colourations left by the removed stones revealed a c. 30 m long and 6 m wide ship-shaped monument, oriented in an approx- imately north-to-south direction. The dating of the monument is difficult, and the excavation results provide no clear answer. Judging on its layout and relation to surrounding sites, late Iron Age is a plausible suggestion, altough a Bronze Age date can- not be excluded. Finds were scarce but included a handful of fragments of burnt bone, as well as unburned bone in relatively small amounts. Of more recent date but still interesting in con- nection to the biographical history of the monument, a glass jar containing a hand-written letter was found hidden between the large phallic Albrunna stone and the boulder against which it was leaning. The letter was dated May 2012 and contained questions to the future from a young couple in times of trouble. After the excavation was finished, a casting was made of the original stone and the concrete copy was erected at the original site in May 2017.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The European Migration Period (c. AD 400–550) was characterised by political, social and economic instability. Recent excavations at Sandby borg ringfort on the island of Öland in Sweden have revealed indisputable evidence of a massacre which occurred at that time. Osteological, contextual and artefactual evidence strongly suggest that the fort was abandoned immediately following the attack and was left undisturbed throughout antiquity. Sandby borg offers a unique snapshot of domestic life and abrupt death in the Scandinavian Migration Period, and provides evidence highly relevant to studies of ancient conflict, and on social and military aspects of Iron Age and Migration Period societies.

Cultural interaction and change : a multi-isotopic approach to the Neolithization in coastal areas

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Drawing on data from the megalithic tomb in Resmo on oland in the Baltic Sea, we use a multi-isotopic approach, involving the systematic treatment and modelling of extensive human and faunal isotopic data (C-14, C-13, N-15, S-34 and Sr-87/Sr-86), along with archaeological contextual evidence, to study change and interaction. The fact that people utilize aquatic resources necessitates modelling of the sulphur and strontium isotope data, to prevent the aquatic contribution from obscuring the local terrestrial signal. It was possible to demonstrate how the people buried in Resmo went through dynamic changes in diet, mobility patterns and cultural identity during more than two millennia of burial practice: from the incipient farmers of the Funnel Beaker Culture, through the cultural encounters and transitions during the Middle Neolithic, to the newcomers furthering intensified agriculture, trade and metal craftsmanship during the Bronze Age.

Creating ambassadors through digital media : Reflections from the Sandby borg project

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 2010, five caches of top quality Migration-period jewellery were found at the Iron Age ring fort of Sandby borg, on the island of Öland, Sweden. When subsequent archaeological investigations revealed evidence of a violent massacre in the late 5th century, which left the victims lying on the spot where they had fallen, media and public interest increased rapidly. Since the local community raised concerns about the fast-growing interest in the project and the sensitive status of the ring fort, digital media was used as an important tool to communicate and work with different stakeholders. In this article, we present some experiences and insights from two separate projects with the aim of involving the public; a public outreach programme, Culture for Children, conducted in 2014-2015 and supported by the Swedish Arts Council, and a crowdfunding project launched at Kickstarter in December 2014, which enabled one season of fieldwork in 2015. The article concludes with a brief reflection on the topic of digital engagement in public archaeology.

Ett kokgropsfält från äldre järnålder : Öland - Kalmar län, Solberga 1:103, Björkviken, Köping socken

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report presents the results from an archaeological excavation at Solberga 1:103 just east of Borgholm, Öland, carried out by Kalmar county museum during three weeks in August and September 2007. The area is rich in prehistoric remains, many of which dating from the Bronze Age and early Iron Age. A trial excavation in 2006 revealed the presence within the appointed area of hearths and cooking pits, and it was suggested that these constituted a continuation towards the northwest of the Bronze Age/early Iron Age settlement located some 150 m to the southeast and partly excavated in 1990.The excavation in 2007 resulted in a large number of sunken features, mainly clusters of hearths and cooking pits. The number of finds is very low, and post-built structures such as houses could not be detected. The interpretation suggested here is that the remains represent a specific kind of probably public activity, not necessarily connected to a dwelling site but characterised by the intensive use of fire in hearths and pits. Similar sites have been found in large parts of northern Europe, often very extensive and most often dated to the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age. The close proximity in this case to the large Bronze Age cairn Blå rör might be of importance in the understanding of the site. Five radiocarbon dates from the site suggest that it was in use mainly during the early Iron Age, although a certain chronological depth of the site could also be detected. Three of the dates fall at around 200-1 cal BC, one date at c cal AD 1-200 and finally one date at c cal AD 550-650.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report presents the results of an archaeological site evaluation and a subsequent archaeological excavation performed by Kalmar county museum in August and November 2008, at Björnhovda 1:27, parish of Torslunda, Öland, southeast Sweden. The aim was initially to establish the spatial distribution within the appointed area of two previously recorded Stone Age settlement sites, but it was soon realised that activities in historical times to a large extent have erased the traces of Stone Age settlement. However, in a low-lying area between the two sites two rock axes were found deposited close together, in what turned out to be a late Neolithic flat earth burial in which no skeletal remains were preserved. The find resulted in a following excavation aiming at finishing the excavation of the newly found burial and by means of further soil stripping establishing its archaeological context. The excavation resulted in the detection of another 4 features of possible burial character, none of which contained grave goods or skeletal remains. All features interpreted as possible burials were sampled for phosphate analysis, and the results were expexted to facilitate the interpretation of the function of the features. Most of the samples turned out to contain low phosphate amounts, however. Variation was low and the resulting pattern was not in any straightforward way possible to connect to the spatial outline of the features. Thus the phosphate analysis did not present the full answer, but based on a number of related circumstances it is argued that the excavated features most probably represent a cemetery containing (at least) 5 burials from the late Neolithic. As a background to this information a compliation of earlier excavated late Neolithic burials on Öland is presented.

Ingår i: Cadernos do Lepaarq. - Brazil : Institute of Human Sciences at the Federal University of Pelotas/RS. - 1806-9118 .- 2316-8412. ; XVII:34, s. 58-73

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper discusses how archaeological heritage can function as a focus of community identity in a rural setting, and what happens when an original monument is replaced by a copy. The case study presented deals with a visually striking ancient monument on the island of Öland, SE Sweden, that was accidentally broken in 2014 and later reconstructed. This case thus touches upon concepts such as authenticity, age value and aura of ancient objects and monuments, but also community engagement in local heritage and the ability of archaeology in adding value to existing sites and monuments. It is concluded that a dissonance often exists between the official assessment of heritage value, and values appreciated by the local community. In the latter, social value can be seen as connected to the concept of pastness, where a range of factors both material and immaterial combine to render a monument or a site its perceived significance.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report presents the results from an archaeological excavation of an Iron Age house foundation at Gamla Skogsby, Öland, Sweden. The investigated area is rich in prehistoric remains, not least from the mid-Iron Age which is the period of concern here (c. AD 400–550). The house investigated is part of a large farm, just next to an exceptionally large building usually regarded as a cheiftains hall. The finds and observations from the excavation suggest that the house concerned is not a small square building as was previously suggested, but is in fact a long house with finds of ”household” character and some emphasis on preparation of food. An elaborate fireplace construction involving a large limstone slab and two heavy posts possibly supporting a roasting spit was found, together with large amounts of carbonised organic remains possibly consisting of animal fats.

Just a band crossing the road : On biography, memory and the changing meaning of places
- 2012

Ingår i: Lund Archaeological Review. - 1401-2189. ; 18, s. 17-33
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper deals broadly with biographical approaches to the archaeology of objects andplaces, and discusses the parts played by memory and remembrance in creating, maintainingand changing meaning in connection with places. The concepts of place and placeattachment are briefly reviewed, and the various ways in which places achieve meaningare discussed. In particular, changes in the meaning of place as a result of specific eventsare explored. This is exemplified by a modern place where drastic changes in meaning occurredas a result of individual events and their remembrance. The identities of places arediscussed, and the possibility of multiple places to be temporarily overlapping yet sharingthe same physical space is explored. These aspects of meaning of place are then appliedto a prehistoric setting, where the occurrence of megaliths on the eastern periphery of theTRB culture, on the island of Öland, is discussed.

Kalven i gropen : Arkeologisk förundersökning, Pettersholm 1:7 och 1:8, Högsrum sn, Öland, Kalmar län
- 2008
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report presents the results from an archaeological trial excavation performed by Kalmar County Museum during two days in August 2008 at Pettersholm, western Öland, southeast Sweden. The area is planned for the construction of two houses, and the investigation aimed at delimiting the occurrence of prehistoric and historic remains within the area and document the features encountered. The excavation resulted in one single sunken feature, consisting of a pit c 0,65 m in diameter and containing the almost complete skeletal remains of a calf and in addition six flint flakes and a handful of fragments of burnt bone. The calf was 14C-dated to c 3500-3100 cal BC, corresponding to the late Early and early Middle Neolithic. This makes it the oldest securely dated find of cattle on Öland, and actually the oldest complete skeleton of a cow encountered in all of Sweden. Since no other sunken features were found within the area and since the ”cow pit” was completely excavated, no further archaeological work is suggested. The find however makes the area adjacent to the west a potential hotspot for future excavations, since the pit probably is connected to a larger context extending in this direction.

Kulturell identitet på Öland under mellanneolitikum : Om keramikens betydelse inom den gropkeramiska kulturen

Ingår i: Aktuell Arkeologi VIII. - Stockholm : Stockholm University. ; , s. 31-46

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper deals with the topic of cultural identity in archaeology, and especially the significance of pottery in the Pitted Ware culture. A brief discussion on the theoretical aspects of cultural identity in general and its relation to ceramics in particular is followed by a short presentation of the Neolithic remains on the island of Öland in the Baltic. The Pitted Ware site in Köpingsvik is further discussed, and the pottery from an excavation at the site in 1950 is presented in some detail. A key term in the ceramic study is variation, and it is argued that previous research often have held a biased view of the ceramic craft of the Pitted Ware culture, presenting it as primitive and rough as opposed to the more elaborate and aesthetic Funnel Beaker pottery. In line with this view the ceramic assemblages of the Pitted Ware culture is often presented as homogeneous and unproblematic, and interpreted as reflecting one-sided activities supposedly related to subsistence and economy. Instead, it is here argued that Pitted Ware assemblages in fact display large variations, with numerous different vessel- and ware types. The occurrence of miniature vessels is seen as an indication of the social significance of the ceramic craft. The Pitted Ware pottery, it is argued, reflect a differentiated and dynamic craft, most probably highly valued by its contemporary society and yet with a position very different from that of the partly contemporary TRB culture. The differences go further than vessel shapes and styles of decoration, and should rather be studied on the level of social meaning attached to the ceramic craft itself and its products.

Late Neolithic burial practice on the island of Öland, SE Sweden

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper deals with Late Neolithic burials found on the Swedish Island of Öland in the Baltic Sea. A brief review of the hitherto known burials from this period on the Island is followed by the presentation of a recent find at Björnhovda, southwest Öland. Here at least one, and possibly as many as five, Late Neolithic traces of burials were found and excavated during autumn 2008. The site is presented in some detail, and these burials are compared to the evidence presented in the brief review of Late Neolithic burial practices on Öland. In conclusion it is shown that burial customs during the Late Neolithic were greatly varied in this area, although a number of features can be identified which appear in the majority of the burials and thus possibly indicate some form of common customs.

Pitted Ware Culture Ceramics : Aspects of Pottery Production and Use at Ottenby Royal Manor, Öland, Sweden

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper deals with ceramics of the middle Neolithic (c. 3300-2300 BC) Pitted Ware culture in eastern Sweden, particularly the recently excavated site Ottenby Royal Manor on the island of Öland in the Baltic Sea. Following a brief discussion about pottery and culture in general and Pitted Ware ceramics in particular, the ceramic assemblage from Ottenby Royal Manor is focussed upon. This site can be dated roughly to the period 3100-2800 cal BC. A detailed recording of various sherd-parameters on the whole assemblage has been combined with lipid residue and ceramic thin section analyses on smaller samples, as well as local raw clay samples, in order to provide a foundation for a multi-facetted image of the social and practical role of the ceramic craft. The results of the lipid residue analysis indicate a complicated pattern of vessel use dominated by vegetables but also including marine as well as terrestrial animals, and the mineralogical analysis suggests that, apart from a dominating local production, some vessels (or sherds) have been brought to the site from other areas. Throughout the paper the established image of Pitted Ware ceramics as simple, rough and homogeneous is put into question. It is argued that the ceramic craft has held a central social position within the Pitted Ware culture, evidenced among other things by the large amounts of pottery on the sites, the dominance for decorated vessels and the occurrence of vessel miniatures.

- This paper deals with pottery and cultural identity during the middle Neolithic (c. 3300–2300 cal BC) in Southeast Sweden. The problem area treated is very large, and what is said below reflects several of my previously published cases on the subject (e.g. Papmehl-Dufay 2003, 2004, in press) as well as my recently published PhD thesis (2006). Here I approached ceramic materials from a specific time period in a specific area, and with the aid of different analytical methods tried to illuminate various technological and practical issues that I assume have been socially embedded. The general aim of the study was to investigate the role of pottery within the so-called Pitted Ware culture in southeast Sweden. Two large pottery assemblages from two sites on the island of Öland were approached with similar questions and similar methods, intending to reveal similarities and differences in the production and use of ceramic products on the island during the period. Methods used include recording and statistical treatment of large ceramic assemblages, lipid residue analysis by means of Gas Chromatography combined with Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS), and technological analysis of clays and wares in binocular microscope and thin section. In the following a brief review of the problems and the results will be given, and the issue of pottery and cultural identity will be touched upon.

Shaping an identity : Pitted Ware pottery and potters in southeast Sweden
- 2006
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The thesis is concerned with pottery and culture during the Middle Neolithic (c. 3300 – 2300 cal BC) in southeast Sweden. Its purpose is to investigate and discuss the significance of pottery in the Pitted Ware culture, particularly on the island of Öland in the Baltic Sea. The history of research concerning this subject area is recounted and the known Neolithic remains from the island of Öland are reviewed. The two Pitted Ware sites so far excavated on the island, Köpingsvik and Ottenby Royal Manor, are presented in detail, and ceramics from these two sites are used in the pottery analysis that makes up the empirical core of the work. The assemblages are approached by similar methods and by posing similar questions, and the analytical methods used include recording of the large ceramic assemblages (aspects of design), microscopic analysis of ceramic thin sections and raw clay samples (aspects of raw material use and pottery technology) and lipid residue analysis performed on extracts from pulverised ceramic ware (aspects of pottery use). The results clearly point to a rather elaborate and socially embedded ceramic craft tradition, with a strong preference for decorated vessels and clearly defined ideas on how the pots should be produced and what they should look like. The technological analysis revealed a rather complicated and restrictive raw material situation, with which the potters coped partly by developing local tempering traditions. The functional analysis revealed a striking variability in pottery use between the two sites. The various differences in pottery observed between the two sites are discussed in terms of local sub-traditions within the overall Pitted Ware ceramic tradition, that may have developed through the work of individual potters and contacts with different areas and groups of people. In this way an attempt is made to view pottery and the ceramic craft in the Pitted Ware culture from a more dynamic perspective.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report presents the results of an archaeological trial excavation performed during 2 days at Skarpa Alby, eastern Öland. The excavation was initiated by plans for the construction of a new stable, and managed to locate previously unknown prehistoric settlement remains with some 70 sunken features documented. Of the 26 features excavated, the majority was interpreted as postholes. No artifacts were found, and the dating of the site is mainly based on 14C-dates from 2 features. Charcoal from a hearth was dated to the late Mesolithic (c. 4400-4200 cal BC), while burnt bone from another hearth was dated to the late Middle Neolithic (c. 2900-2400 cal BC). The earlier date is difficult to interpret given the uncertain contextual association of the dated material, while the later date through the burnt bone can be more sequrely associated with human activities on the site. A date of the site to the Middle Neolithic is in good accordance with the previously documented fi nds to the NW of the appointed area, however the dated bones suggest a continuation through to the later part of this period, MNB, which was not indicated by the previously known finds.
