- Hearths and House foundations: Archaeology in the Sámi cultural landscape of southern andmiddle Sweden: This paper deals with the physical traces of Sámi past in southern andcentral Sweden. From the Norse sagas, and from archaeological sources, there is a mani-fold of evidence of Sámi–Norse interaction and of Sámi presence, and habitation in cen-tral and southern Scandinavia from the Late Iron Age to the Middle Ages. From the earlymodern period there are diverse written sources addressing Sámi habitation in southernScandinavia, and from the 18th century we know of the so-called sockenlappsystemet,an ethnically based, indenture service employing Sámi people. To what degree these earlymodern Sámi kept, and developed traditional practices, has until recently been largelyunknown. Through a combination of sources and methods, from archival studies to fieldsurveys, and excavations, this paper proposes that a strong and continuous developmentof Sámi traditions and practices, though the use of landscape and material culture is vi-sible well into the end of the 19th century

- An unusual ski from the Låktatjåhkå / Loktacohkka glacier in Sápmi – Use, wax, 14C and lipid residue analysis: Archaeological skis dated from the Stone Age to today, are not unusual finds in bogs and wetlands. They are found all over Sápmi, from Norway to the Kola peninsula in the Russian federation. Skis are also represented in rock art at different sites in Sápmi and mentioned in written sources; however, skis found at higher altitudes, at glaciers and perennial snow patches, are not as common. In 2018, nine kilometers west of Björkliden, a fragment of a ski was found by the Loktačohkka glacier. The ski fragment was first 14C-dated to the 15th century; however, presence of vax on the fragment presented an interesting problem. A new 14C analysis of the ski fragment, with the wax components removed, now dated the cellulose from the ski to 1645–1916 CE, i.e. the ski could have been used some time from circa 1645 into the first half of the 20th century. This study highlights the importance of regular surveys of melting glaciers and snow patches to retrieve organic material melting out, as well as the importance of investigating what components wood could have been impregnated with.

- Concealed burials of foetuses in churches during the 18th and 19th centuries: two case studies from Sweden. Miscarriage was a stigmatised subject during the 18th and 19th centuries, and although it must have been a common feature in many women’s lives, it is a relatively unexplored subject in archaeology. Two finds from Gällared (Halland) and Bringetofta (Småland) churches (SW Sweden) each provide a snapshot of how even very young foe- tuses received a dignified and carefully arranged burial in consecrated ground, despite the fact that this was an act defiant of the Church of Sweden Law. This article presents the in- terdisciplinary study of these two finds. This study has enabled a detailed reconstruction of practices related to the handling and burial of stillborn foetuses in the period around 1800. The results reveal not only the feelings of grief and loss that a miscarriage evoked, but also raise questions of a more existential nature about personhood and when a foetus was considered an individual – if at all. The judicial aspects of studying foetal burials are briefly addressed, and the importance of establishing mutual working relationships bet- ween churches and archaeologists is emphasised. Such burials are largely unknown among archaeologists and antiquarians as well as in the Church of Sweden, and one aim of this article is to draw attention to these.

- This paper discusses archaeology with and without borders in Sápmi, and the importance of the state borders in historical archaeology in Sápmi. How have the changing borders affected the field of archaeology and the understanding of the past in the Sámi areas?In the paper, I focus on the border between “East” and “West” in Sápmi, and discuss aspects of the interconnections of archaeology and politics in historical archaeology in Sápmi. There is a need to consider the historical and archaeological developments in the Russian part of Sápmi, which have often been neglected in Scandinavian historical-archaeological discussions on Sámi history and heritage. There is also a need to promote more co-operation between archaeologists in the Nordic countries and Russia across the present-day state boundaries.The study of borders in Sápmi can contribute to a deeper understanding of historical processes as well as contemporary heritage processes in Sápmi. There is great potential in future cross-boundary archaeology in Sápmi, as well as in historical-archaeological explorations of colonial processes and border construction in the North.

"Av samma penning Helsingborg 3 mark" : Det äldsta Helsingborg och frågan om urbanitet

- Since the 1920s the urbanisation of Helsingborg has been understood as a development in two stages. The first comprised the establishment of a town and a castle on the escarpment (landborgen) during the 11th and 12th centuries, whereas the second encompassed the gradual move of the town to the beach during the 13th to 15th centuries.The article is a critical examination of this hypothesis, but it is also discussed how the urban development in Helsingborg contributes to the wider understanding of medieval urbanity. Instead of an escarpment-town, the evidence suggests five separate settlements located on strategic positions controlling the access to the beach. The earliest was established during the 8th and 9th centuries. During the 11th and 12th centuries a crown estate (later developed into a castle) replaced this settlement, and four aristocratic manors were established at other locations. It is argued that the beach comprised a seasonally granted and taxed market and a landing place, where the royal and aristocrats that maintained the market peace and controlled the fairway on the strait held the settlements on the escarpment.
