- Abstract in UndeterminedIn our modern society peoples attitudes towards animals are inconsistent, to say the least. Behind these heterogeneous attitudes there are several economic and cultural aspects. What possibilities do we have of studying relations between humans and animal, between nature and culture, in the distant past? What are our starting-points? How do we understand realities that differ from our own? What are our challenges?In pre-Christian society animals were of great importance not only for the food supply and practical matters but alsoin religious cults. In the course of time human's views of animals and nature has changed, and both animals and nature have increasingly been subjected to human's devices. The traditional nature-culture dichotomy is problematic, and gives rise to intense discussion. This is a challenge to the archaeologists, who are forced to depart from their traditional trains of thought and their accustomed archaeological classifications.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This article discusses the role of archaeology in our society as well as the epistemological outlook within archaeology. In order to illustrate the relevance of archaeology in our own age three topics are formulated - landscape archaeology, the long-term perspectives of archaeology and the norms and values of our particular system. It is underlines that archaeologists are interpreters of fragments from the past. We have to turn the problems over, call into question and ask new questions about the past and our interpretative starting points, not accepting the stereotype images of the savages in the Stone Age, the sophisticated chiefs in the Bronze Age or the robbers in the Viking Age. There are also good reasons for arguing against the nationalistic use of the past and for presenting instead a picture of diversity in the past.
