Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Bredarör cairn in Kivik sparked the interest of researchers by presenting the rare combination of rock art within a burial con- text. A recent documentation project that employed the traditional tracing method has sparked a new debate about the precision of older tracings and frottages. This paper presents the results of a holistic recording of the slabs in the Bredarör cairn using three modern methods: Structure from Motion (SfM), Optical Laser Scanning (OLS) and Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI). In discussing SfM, OLS and RTI, the paper demonstrates the power of these tools to expand the capabilities to record rock art in an unbiased fashion and in greater detail. In contrast to older methods, the depth and texture of features on the rock are documented and human error is reduced, because everything is recorded. Some observations of the earlier documentation efforts were confirmed, and more details added, such as information on ship prows and horse design. This allowed an in-depth discussion of the dating and use of rock art in the Bredarör cairn. It is argued that although there is evidence that the slabs were transformed several times, the majority of the carving activity was carried out during Period II of the Nordic Bronze Age. It suggests that an important individual, possibly connected to long-distance trade, was interred in the cairn that subsequently served as a necropolis until the Late Bronze Age.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study offers new insights into the local appropriation of warrior ideals in Late Bronze Age Europe. Through the new study of the carvings of Cancho Roano and Arroyo Tamujoso 8, located in Southwest Iberia and their landscape settings with state-of-the-art digital technologies, this paper unpicks some of the key idiosyncrasies of Iberian Late Bronze Age warrior iconography, revealing that responses to the warrior ideals circulating across Europe during that period were diverse. To understand the contexts of circulation and appropriation of these ideas from a local perspective, we also consider very briefly the multiscale connections in which the communities who created warrior stelae in Iberia were involved. The ultimate goal of this paper is to lay the groundwork for further work developing more detailed comparisons between Iberian warrior stelae and Swedish warrior iconography on rock art, also taking into account other evidence.

The Political Economy and Metal Trade in Bronze Age Europe: Understanding Regional Variability in Terms of Comparative Advantages and Articulations
- 2015

In: European Journal of Archaeology. - 1461-9571 .- 1741-2722. ; 18:4, s. 633-657

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the second millennium cal BC, a new metal conquered Europe: the alloy of copper and tin that improved the quality of tools and weapons. This development, we argue, initiated a framework for a new political economy. We explore how a political economy approach may help understand the European Bronze Age by focussing on regional comparative advantages in long-distance trade and resulting bottlenecks in commodity flows. Links existed in commodity chains, where obligated labour and ownership of resources helped mobilize surpluses, thus creating potential for social segments to control the production and flows of critical goods. The political economy of Bronze Age Europe would thus represent a transformation in how would-be leaders mobilized resources to support their political ends. The long-distance trade in metals and other commodities created a shift from local group ownership towards increasingly individual strategies to obtain wealth from macro-regional trade. We construct our argument to make sense of available data, but recognize that our model's primary purpose is to structure future research to test the model. Au cours du 2e millénaire av. J.-C. un nouveau métal conquérait l'Europe: l'alliage du cuivre et de l’étain, qui améliorait la qualité des outils et des armes. Nous soutenons ici que ce développement instaurait un cadre pour une nouvelle économie politique et nous examinons comment une approche fondée sur l’économie politique peut nous permettre de mieux comprendre l’Âge du Bronze européen, en mettant l'accent sur les avantages comparatifs régionaux lors des échanges à longue distance et sur les goulets d’étranglement des flux de marchandises qui en résultent. Il existait des liens dans les filières des produits de base, où le travail forcé et la possession des ressources aidaient à réaliser des excédents, permettant ainsi à des segments de la société de contrôler la production et les flux de produits essentiels. L’économie politique de l'Europe pendant l’Âge du Bronze décrirait donc un changement dans la manière avec laquelle des leaders potentiels mobilisaient des ressources pour soutenir leurs fins politiques. Les échanges à longue distance de métaux et autres marchandises ont déclenché un changement allant de la propriété collective locale vers des stratégies de plus en plus individuelles afin de produire de la richesse à partir du commerce macro-régional. Avec nos arguments nous cherchons à interpréter les données disponibles, mais nous admettons que le principal objectif de notre modèle est de structurer la recherche future afin de pouvoir le mettre à l’épreuve. Translation by Isabelle Gerges Im zweiten Jahrtausend v. Chr. trat ein neues Metall seinen Siegeszug durch Europa an: die Legierung von Kupfer und Zinn, die die Qualität von Werkzeugen und Waffen verbesserte. Diese Entwicklung, so vermuten wir, stieß die Entwicklung eines Netzwerkes für eine neue politische Ökonomie an. Wir untersuchen, wie der Ansatz der politischen Ökonomie dabei helfen kann, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung regionaler vergleichender Nutzeffekte beim Fernhandel und daraus resultierender Engpässe bei Warenströmen die europäische Bronzezeit zu verstehen. Es existierten Verbindungen bei den Güterketten, bei denen Arbeitsverpflichtungen und Eigentum an den Ressourcen dabei halfen, Überschuss zu erwirtschaften – und dadurch ein Potential für soziale Segmentierung schufen, das die Kontrolle der Produktion und Verteilung von wesentlichen Gütern gewährleistete. Die politische Ökonomie der europäischen Bronzezeit spiegelt demnach einen Übergang wider, bei dem die angehenden Oberhäupter Ressourcen mobilisierten, um ihre politischen Ziele zu unterstützen. Der Fernhandel von Metallen und anderen Waren ermöglichte einen Sprung vom lokalen Gruppenbesitz hin zu vermehrt individuellen Strategien, um aus dem makroregionalen Handel Reichtum zu erzielen. Wir entwickeln unsere Beweisführung, um bereits vorhandene Daten deuten zu können, sind uns jedoch bewusst, dass das vorrangige Ziel unseres Modells die Struktur zukünftiger Forschung ist, um seine Gültigkeit zu testen.Translation by Heiner Schwarzberg
