The Norse Sorceress
Old Norse literature abounds with descriptions of magic acts that allow ritual specialists of various kinds to manipulate the world around them, see into the future or the distant past, change weather conditions, influence the outcomes of battles, and more. While magic practitioners are known under myriad terms, the most iconic of them is the völva. As the central figure of the famous mythological poem Völuspá (The Prophecy of the Völva), the völva commands both respect and fear. In non-mythological texts similar women are portrayed as crucial albeit somewhat peculiar members of society. Always veiled in mystery, the völur and their kind have captured the academic and popular imaginati...
Daily life at the turn of the neolithic
This book provides unique insights into Late Neolithic life, its organization and its economy, made possible by an altogether exceptional collection of recent archaeological findings in South Scandinavia from longhouses with sunken floors dating from this period. Through analysis and interpretation of these comprehensive materials, Danish archaeologist John Simonsen presents brand new findings essential for many wider interpretations of this crucial and fascinating transitional period from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age (c. 2350- c. 1600 BC). The basic materials presented and discussed in Daily Life at the Turn of the Neolithic were mainly found during new archaeological excavations in the central part of the Limfjord region of Denmark, but, in terms of the wider perspectives and considerations, often relate to the entire region and in several respects also to South Scandinavia - and beyond.
Viking encounters
The Viking Congresses bring together scholars of archaeology, philology, history, toponymy, numismatics and a number of other disciplines to discuss the Viking Age from a variety of viewpoints. This volume contains 44 peer-reviewed papers selected from those presented at the 18th Viking Congress held in Denmark in August 2017. The contributors take up the interdisciplinary challenge, and the papers cover a wide range of subjects, rooted in the past, but also connecting to the present.
The Archaeology of Nucleation in the Old World
Fourteen papers take advantage of advances in archaeological methods and theory to explore the role of the built environment in expressing and shaping community organization and identity at prehistoric and historic nucleated settlements and early cities in the Old World.
The Vikings in Poland
This pioneering work offers a meticulous exploration of Scandinavian presence in Viking Age Poland. Unveiling the complexities and controversies of past research and delving into the nuances of reciprocal interactions between Western Slavic and Scandinavian populations as revealed through archaeology and medieval texts, the book casts genuinely new light on a previously overlooked part of the Viking world. In setting the stage for these investigations, the monograph traces the evolution of Viking and Old Norse studies in Poland. It covers the romanticisation of Norse culture and literature, the dark days of the Second World War when archaeology was strongly driven by violent ideologies, and ...
KUML 2022
Forsiden af Kuml 2022 prydes af en jernlænke, som arkæologer fra Museet Sønderskov udgravede i 2021 på en mark udenfor landsbyen Fæsted i Sønderjylland. Det usædvanlige fund var på Slots- og Kulturstyrelsens top-10-liste over årets vigtigste arkæologiske fund og er måske et bevis på, at Romerriget har hentet slaver i det såkaldte Barbaricum. I årbogen kan du læse resultaterne fra undersøgelserne af den mulige slavelænke sammen med fem andre spændende artikler om dansk og nordeuropæisk arkæologi. Kuml 2022 indeholder også anmeldelser af væsentlige arkæologiske udgivelser.

Gefjon 7
Gefjon – Arkæologiske studier og rapporter er et tidsskrift for arkæologiske emner. Vi publicerer bidrag fra hele Danmark, som omhandler alt fra de ældste perioder til i dag. Bidragene kan være egentlige videnskabelige studier af arkæologiske problemstillinger såvel som rapporter, som i en mere foreløbig form behandler for eksempel enkeltstående lokaliteter, individuelle genstande, genstandsgrupper og projekter under udvikling. Både studier og rapporter bliver fagfællebedømt efter gældende praksis. Derudover modtager vi også gerne kommentarer og replikker uden for det fagfællebedømte felt. Artiklerne i dette syvende nummer handler om: • Værktøjsgrave, tekstilhåndværk og de anonyme pottemagere. En genfortolkning af ældre jernalders glittesten • Landsbyens tid. Kronologisk modellering af bebyggelsens brudflader og formationsprocesser i Køge Nord, 6.-11 årh. • De danskfundne fibler af Stora Köpingetypen • Staven. Vølvens kendetegn? • En yngre romertids boplads-begravelse fra Højby ved Lejre
Vikings Across Boundaries
This volume explores the changes that occurred during the Viking Age, as Scandinavian societies fell in line with the larger forces that dominated the Insular world and Continental Europe, absorbing the powerful symbiosis of Christianity and monarchy, adapting to the idea of royal lineage and supremacy, and developing a buzzing urbanism coupled with large-scale trade networks. Presenting research on the grand context of the Viking Age alongside localised studies, it contributes to the furthering of collaborations between local and ‘outsider’ research on the Viking Age. Through a diversity of approaches on the Viking homelands and the wider world of the Vikings, it offers studies of a ran...
