- Palaeoecological analysis of peat deposits from a small bog at Lingarden, southern Sweden, have been used to examine the nature and timing of vegetation changes and anthropogenic activity associated with a nearby rock carving located close to the edge of the wetland. This study is the first of its type to investigate the environmental context of rock carvings in southern Sweden. Debate has tended to focus on chronology and iconography, with little consideration of the environmental relationships of rock carvings and how vegetation may help construct a site within its surrounding landscape. The pollen evidence from Lingarden demonstrates that the rock carving was located in an isolated semi-wooded setting during the late Bronze Age. This is in stark contrast to several other pollen studies from the Bjare Peninsula that record widespread woodland clearance and agricultural activity from the late Neolithic Bronze Age transition. The results of this study support hypotheses that suggest complex rock carvings, such as Lingarden, were separated from settled areas. This sense of separation and isolation is reinforced by the vegetation surrounding the rock carving. This paper also discusses the relationship between charcoal in the pollen sequence and evidence that the decorated outcrop had been burnt. (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Bredarör på Kivik – en arkeologisk odyssé
- 2013. - 1
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Bredarör på Kivik är känd som ett av norra Europas mest märkliga och omdebatterade fornminnen från bronsåldern. Det enorma röset med sina åtta hällar med inknackade bilder har varit en rik källa till debatter och dispyter sedan den 14 juni 1748 då två husmän bröt sig in i det slumrande röret. I bokens 24 kapitel tecknas monumentets antikvariska och arkeologiska biografi. Här presenteras såväl äldre som nya tolkningar om monumentet och det presenteras en rad nya analyser. För att förstå betydelsen av ett monument som Bredarör på Kivik bör vi närma oss det från skilda analytiska nivåer och perspektiv. Gåtans lösning får sökas inom dig själv.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter explores how sex, gender, and embodiment are expressed in North Euro- pean rock art. Contributions that approach rock art with engendered perspectives are described, along with an appraisal of the present state of gendered rock art research. We regard rock art as part of the prevailing cosmologies of Stone and Bronze Age societies in northern Europe, and investigate how sex and gender are significant components of these.

Engraved biographies : rock art and life-histories of Bronze Age objects
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Current Swedish Archaeology. - : Svenska Arkeologiska Samfundet. - 1102-7355. ; 22, s. 97-136
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article deals with engravings depicting sometimes life-sized Bronze Age metal objects from “closed” burial contexts and “open-air” sites in northern Europe. These rock art images have mainly been used for comparative dating with the purpose of establishing rock art chronologies, or interpreted as a poor man’s” substitute for real objects that were sacrificed to immaterial gods and goddesses. In this article, these rock art images are pictured from a perspective that highlights the mutual cultural biography of humans and objects. It is argued that the rare engravings of bronze objects at scale 1:1 are best explained as famous animated objects that could act as secondary agents, which sometimes allowed them to be depicted and remembered. Moreover, two different social settings are distinguished for such memory practice: maritime nodes or third spaces where Bronze Age Argonauts met before, during or after their journeys, e.g. places where novel technological and/or famous objects entered and re-entered the social realms, and burial contexts where animated objects sometimes was buried at the end of their life-course.

Handlare Holm på Kivik och Riksantikvarie Curman i Stockholm: : Några tankar om institutionaliseringen av kulturminnesvården under första delen av 1900-talet

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Merchant Holm in Kivik and State Antiquarian Curman in Stockholm – On the institutionalization of the cultural heritage sector during the first half of the twentieth century. In recent years, several thought-provoking studies have been published on the history of archaeology and the coming of a cultural heritage sector. A central figure in these studies is Sigurd Curman, who also was the State Antiquarian in Sweden between 1923 and 1946. Common to these studies is a fairly normative historiography celebrating Curman’s life achievement. In my ongoing research about Bredarör in Kivik, I have also encountered Curman and his life project, not least since this monument was one of the first that he restored and made accessible to the knowledge-hungry public in the early 1930s. The inauguration of the restored monument in 1933, with Crown Prince Gustav Adolf as the most distinguished guest, is without doubt one of Curman’s most important milestones. Some 3,000–4,000 people witnessed the event. Curman was celebrated for his great success. The picture that emerges in archives and collections of letters, however, tells a partly different story about the beginnings of the cultural heritage sector in Sweden, where hitherto anonymous actors on the periphery, such as the local merchant Anders N. Holm of Kivik, played important roles. Holm’s commitment to this particular monument exhibits both similarities and dissimilarities to Curman’s vision of a modern culture heritage sector, as highlighted in this article.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Although this volume is a tribute to Richard Bradley, its strength lies in the range and depth ofpapers that provide new information, ideas, and interpretations on many familiar archaeologicalthemes. This volume takes, as its basis, the archaeological themes that Richard has developedthrough his career and has been divided into several sections that, broadly speaking, follow thechronological development of his many fields of interest and are sub-titled with reference to six ofhis major books (Social Foundations of Prehistoric Britain, An Archaeology of Natural Places, ThePassage of Arms, Ritual and Domestic Life, Image and Audience, and Altering the Earth). Thepapers are, therefore, grouped in meaningful sections, giving the contents a real coherence.The ‘social foundations of prehistoric Britain’ are laid in contributions by Mike ParkerPearson on Neolithic Stonehenge and by Colin Richards and Julian Thomas on the Stonehengelandscape before Stonehenge, both derived from the recent Stonehenge Riverside project which hasadded many more possible layers of interpretation to this complex landscape; and by discussion ofsmall Neolithic monuments along the Upper Thames valley by Gill Hey, and, in the north ofcountry, of henges and their socio-economic setting in north Yorkshire by Jan Harding. Eachexamines a combination of old and new data to present a discourse between social and monumentallandscapes. Martin Green presents some new and unusual burials from Cranborne Chase, the sceneof one of Richard Bradley’s first extensive prehistoric landscape studies. These papers arecomplemented by Barrett’s insightful examination of the economic archaeology of the Bronze Ageto Iron Age transition in Britain, and Andrew Fleming’s comments on landscape archaeology andthe concept, use, and mis-use of the very term ‘landscape’.The ‘archaeology of natural places’ is examined by two papers addressing the nature ofNeolithic woodlands. Bell and Noble discuss the ecologies of these woodlands and of ecologicaltransformations, while Allen and Gardiner examine the concept of the extent of Neolithic woodlandand our assumption that the aim of prehistoric communities was to undertake activities thatremoved them so as to exploit resources and place monuments in an open landscape. They contendthat, perhaps, it was the fact that they were still within woodland that was important.The section on the ‘passage of arms’ comprises a group of very different papers. Härkebegins it with a discussion of ‘conquest ideology’ which is defined as an attitude of mind and a setof related practices which explain and justify current social and political conditions with a real orimagined conquest in the past. He considers whether the existence and expression of a conquestmyth or ideology can really be identified by purely archaeological means, largely throughexamination of historical accounts of Anglo-Saxon England and possible interpretations of theadoption of warrior graves and re-use of prehistoric barrows. Woodward and Needham discuss thespecifics of the few but exceptional artefacts of an Early Bronze Age individual buried at Wilsford,Wiltshire. Gosden marries landscape and artefacts in an eloquent and imaginative approach throughthe identification of two different cycles of change in the British Bronze Age and Iron Age relatingto the creation of farmed landscapes and the re-emergence of ‘ordinary’ metalwork in moreelaborate and decorative forms after their disappearance in the Early Iron Age. Cleal turns to thePrehistoric Society Research Paper 5transverse arrowheads of the Neolithic to provide a discourse on the timing and nature of their introduction which was related to a sphere of interaction around the coastal areas of the English Channel and southern North Sea that was maintained through the middle centuries of the 4th millennium cal BC. Edmunds looks at the recent biography of axes, the ‘meaning’ they still seem to impart thousands of years after their manufacture, and the symbolic referents they have for modern collectors, museum curators and chance-finders alike. Sheridan takes us back to the well-trodden Kilmartin Glen providing an incisive chronological narrative of this evocative and complex monumental landscape between the early 4th and early 1st millennium BC and places it within the broader narrative of developments elsewhere in western Scotland and beyond.Ian Hodder opens the batting in ‘Ritual and domestic life’ on the theme of history-making in the Early Neolithic settlement of Çatalhöyük revealing how the process of memory construction can be seen in varied material projects, including house building, burial and the retrieval of skulls and sculptures. He argues that social organisation at the site was based around ‘history houses’ made up of groups of houses centred on a central house in which the dead were preferentially buried and ritual and symbolic markers were amassed, leading to long term social stability. This resonates with Whittle’s contribution which examines the relationship between longhouses and graves of the Linearbandkeramik. He argues that house and cemetery grave were often interchangeable images: the grave, or grave and body, perhaps being seen as a house while the house could have been conceptualised as a body. Howard Williams extends the theme of memory and concepts of death with a discussion ofmemorialisation of the dead in contemporary Sweden, showing how memory groves create a sense of nostalgia and primordial antiquity and how ashes are used to create different bonds between the living and the dead in association with contrasting material cultures, monumentalities, and landscapes.In ‘image and audience’ an international group of leading authorities from Britain, Scandinavia and South Africa take various approaches to the interpretation of rock art and its context. Goldhahn challenges conventional distinctions between the rare rock art images found in closed burial contexts and the more common finds of rock art on outcrops in the landscape in northern Europe, arguing that the interpretation of rock art’s significance must be based on manifold criteria, such as its iconography, its structure, its relationship to other prehistoric remains, and its setting in the landscape. Kaul, also discussing Scandinavian rock art, further challenges recent interpretations and illustrates how ship images could reflect occasional visits of travelers or long distance contacts or expeditions. Lewis-Williams draws parallels between Richard Bradley’s work on rock art in Scandinavia and his own on southern African San rock art showing how, in both regions, people believed in a three-tiered cosmos that provided a framework for belief and ritual, and that the rock art in each was concerned with transcosmological travel. Fábregas Valcarce and Rodríguez-Rellán review the interpretation of Galician rock art as an open or hardly-restricted phenomenon, drawing attention to physical constraints that existed on its observation and addressing several controversial issues surrounding the dating of Galician rock art and its precise relationship with the domestic sphere. Such academic debates are also reflected upon by Bacelar Alves,who examines how the research legacy, paradigms of mainstream archaeology and modern science, have shaped current knowledge of rock art in Galicia and north-west Portugal. Beckensall examines recent advances in rock art studies in Britain, reviewing its interpretation, recording, excavation, and theoretical concerns, as well as conservation issues. Finally in this section Peter SkoglundPrehistoric Society Research Paper 5considers the relationship between people and trees as depicted in Scandinavian Bronze Age rock art and suggests that these images depict manipulated deciduous trees which are not a true-to-life description of people’s interactions with trees, but rather ones of rituals where the collection of leaves was a substantial element.The final section ‘altering the earth’ begins with David Yates’ examination of the possible cosmological orientations of Bronze Age field systems which may have been laid out to marry the earth with the sky, while Chris Evans invites us to evaluate the interpretational framework applied to under-rated excavation data at more than the site and incident level – developer-funded archaeology may have facilitated more recording – but has it fragmented the record? The volume concludes with Aaron Watson’s striking pictorial narrative describing four different sites and the different techniques and methods used in their archaeological examination and landscape interpretation.

On war and the memory of war: : the Middle Bronze Age burial from Hvidegarden on Zealand in Denmark revisited

- This paper discusses various memory practices and how they may have been manifested in a particular context, the famous burial from Hvidegård on Zealand in Denmark. The theoretical perspective is inspired by Jan Assmann’s thoughts about cultural memory. Assmann suggests that our memory comes in various forms, which are presented and analyzed here in relation to the Hvidegård burial. The article contains a new analysis of the content of the fascinating belt-purse from Hvidegård and an analysis of the cremated bones from this burial. A conclusion from these analyses could be that different kinds of memory practice are always interwoven. This might create both problems and opportunities for an interpretative archaeology.

- This paper presents six personal encounters with Kristian Kristiansen from the early 1990s until today. The encounters stretch from the dawn of time when I was a young student throughout my career as an archaeologist involved in rock art and Bronze Age research in Northern Europe. I also present some thoughts about the inimitable personal qualities that make Kristian such an influential archaeologist, colleague and friend.

- This article presents some of the earliest rock artdocumentation known from northern Europe.Johannes Haquini Rhezelius produced it on anantiquarian journey to Öland and Småland in1634. Compared with the Norwegian Peder Alfsøn’sdocumentation from seven years previouslyin northern Bohuslän, then a part of Norway,there are differences and similarities. Both mendrew by eye with ink, Alfsøn then embellishinghis images with watercolours. Neither used anyscalemeasurements.Rhezelius's informants did not seem to preserveany pre-Christian ideas about figurativerock art. They associated it with legends and storiessprung fromaChristian culture;with giants,maidens and church-burglars. Folklore associatedcupmarks with elfs.
