The seabed in southern Scandinavia contains numerous traces of a submerged landscape that is thought to be the remnant of a once important habitat for Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. Large parts of this landscape were gradually flooded by rising seas between 9500 and 4000 BC and perceptions of the Maglemose culture (9500-6400 BC) have, consequently, been based almost exclusively on former inland settlements. As a result, Early and Late Mesolithic societies have been understood as almost diametrically opposed with regards to their reliance upon marine resources and their degree of sedentism. The main objective of the book is to investigate two questions that are directly related to our current u...
The complex of megaliths near Tustrup is a prime example of the megalithic sites used by early farming communities in Stone Age Europe. Excavated in the 1950s by Moesgaard Museum, the site continues to hold great contemporary and scientific value. Its significance relates primarily to the unusual find of a ritual complex connected to two dolmens and passage grave. The question of why monumental sites played such an important role for early farming communities is currently the focus of several international studies. In Denmark, which boasts one of the world’s largest concentrations of megalithic monuments as well as a strong tradition for research in the area, archaeologists have had a longstanding wish to contribute to this discussion with a comprehensive publication about the unique complex of megaliths near Tustrup. Experts have researched the finds and meticulously analysed the site and its artefacts. These detailed studies have led to surprising and well-documented interpretations of the megalithic tombs, the construction history of the ritual site and their function, along with the inter-relationship between the monuments.
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.
Medieval towns were vibrant and complex social environments where diverse groups and lifestyles encountered and influenced each other. Surprisingly, in the study of urban archaeology, the aristocracy, one of the leading and most influential groups in medieval society, has so far been neglected. This book puts "aristocracy in towns" on the archaeological research agenda. The interdisciplinary and comparative study explores the significance and representation of aristocrats and their interaction with civic elites in sea-trading towns of the southwestern Baltic from the 12th to the 14th centuries. Essentially, however, the analysis of urban elite culture leads to discussion of a much more fundamental issue: the informative value of material culture for the investigation of social conditions. The book provides new archaeological approaches to the study of social differentiation in towns, and contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexity of urban social structures.
Forfatterne forsøger med udgangspunkt i stednavnestudier, talrige arkæologiske undersøgelser, analyser af omfattende og systematiske metaldetektorafsøgninger samt nye borgstudier at tegne et billede af bebyggelsens på Samsø i vikingetid og middelalder – dens karakter og udvikling. I flere tilfælde kan bosættelserne føres tilbage til yngre germansk jernalder, samtidig med Kanhavekanalen, der blev anlagt i 720’erne, men efter sandsynlighed stadig var i brug i vikingetiden.

Hvordan snører man sin bedstemor, hvorfor er fremmedsprog et farligt minefelt, den forkætrede ytringsfrihed, hvorfor sommerhuset helst skulle være uden sand, historien om en lille markmus og dens lange odyssé, kosakker fra grænseværn til folklore, grisehandel og hjemmeslagtning i 1950erne, hjemlig hygge og international højspænding, strøtanker om Rusland og Europa, forsvar for en stilfærdig folkekirke, historien om snottet, der frøs til is. Det er blot nogle af stikordene til indholdet af denne bog. Blandede bolcher, kunne man passende kalde det. Igennem 40 år var Aarhus Universitet forfatterens lære-, være- og arbejdssted. Først som studerende og dernæst som ansat. Indtil en blodprop i hjernen ved årtusindskiftet sendte ham på ufrivillig pension. Men lysten til at skrive sad stadig tilbage i den ene aktive, men delvis lammede pegefinge. Det er der blandt andet kommet denne bog ud af. Bogen indeholder de anekdoter, artikler, kronikker og anmeldelser, som forfatteren har skrevet gennem de sidste 15 år.
