Urban Diaspora
This is a book on the rise and fall of diasporic communities in Early Modern urban centers in Denmark and Sweden. It contains 17 chapters written by archaeologists, historians and scientists, ranging from in-depth studies of artefacts, biofacts and archaeological features to large-scale analyses of community formation among natives and migrants of multiple origins. The plethora of sources and approaches afforded by the numerous disciplines involved enables a significant new insight into the creation and recreation of migrant communities in these Early Modern towns.
Archaeobotanical studies of past plant cultivation in northern Europe
Plant cultivation has a long and successful history that is tightly linked to environmental and climate change, social development and to cultural traditions and diversity. This is true also for the high latitudes of northern Europe, where cultivation started thousands of years before the earliest written records. The long history of cultivation can be studied by archaeobotany, which is the study of ancient seeds, pollen and other plant remains found on archaeological sites. This book presents recent advances in North-European archaeobotany. It focuses on plant cultivation and brings together studies from different countries and research environments, both at universities and within contract archaeology. The studies cover the Nordic countries and adjacent parts of the Baltic countries and Russia, and they span more than 5,000 years of agricultural history, from the Neolithic to the Middle Ages. They highlight and discuss many different aspects of early agriculture, from the first introduction of cultivation, to crop choices, expansions and declines, climatic adaptation, and vegetable gardening.
Northern Emporium
In the early Middle Ages, a network of maritime trading towns – emporia – emerged along the northern coasts of Europe. These early urban sites are among archaeology’s most notable contributions to our knowledge of the period between the disintegration of the Western Roman Empire and the growth of a maritime-oriented world in the Viking Age. Ribe, on the western coast of Denmark, is one of these sites. In 2017-18 the Northern Emporium research project conducted seminal research excavations, which provided new foundations for the study of this nodal point between Western Europe, Scandinavia, and the world beyond. This first volume presents the results of these excavations and analyses to...
Horse and Rider in the late Viking Age
Papers from a conference Skanderborg 27-28th of June 2019 An equestrian burial from the 10th century with an exceptionally elaborate horse harness was discovered at Fregerslev near Skanderborg in eastern Jutland, Denmark in 2012. This formed the starting point for the Fregerslev Research Project initiated by Museum Skanderborg in 2017. Two years later, the museum held a conference to present the preliminary results of the project. A group of researchers from neighbouring countries were invited to provide a wider international context for a discussion of the social, political, cultural and religious background of the Fregerslev burial. With 21 articles, Horse and Rider in the late Viking Age ...
Old Norse Folklore
The medieval northern world consisted of a vast and culturally diverse region both geographically, from roughly Greenland to Novgorod and culturally, as one of the last areas of Europe to be converted to Christianity. Old Norse Folklore explores the complexities of thisfascinating world in case studies and theoretical essays that connect orality and performance theory to memory studies, and myths relating to pre-Christian Nordic religion to innovations within late medieval pilgrimage song culture. Old Norse Folklore provides critical new perspectives on the Old Norse world, some of which appear in this volume for the first time in English. Stephen A. Mitchell presents emerging methodologies by analyzing Old Norse materials to offer a better understandings ofunderstanding of Old Norse materials. He examines, interprets, and re-interprets the medieval data bequeathed to us by posterity—myths, legends, riddles, charms, court culture, conversion narratives, landscapes, and mindscapes—targeting largely overlooked, yet important sources of cultural insights.
Nordic Elites in Transformation, c. 1050-1250, Volume I
This book, first in a series of three, examines the social elites in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland, and which social, political, and cultural resources went into their creation. The elite controlled enormous economic resources and exercised power over people. Power over agrarian production was essential to the elites during this period, although mobile capital was becoming increasingly important. The book focuses on the material resources of the elites, through questions such as: Which types of resources were at play? How did the elites acquire and exchange resources?
Forbrugets kulturhistorie
Forbrugets kulturhistorie forfolger forbruget af varer, oplevelser, rum og medier fra enevAeldens tid til i dag. Artiklerne spAender bredt fra udviklingen af smabutikker til nutidens store supermarkeder og fra den eksklusive diligencerejse til middelklassens bilferie. Bogen har blik for, hvordan stormagasiner i det sene 1800-tal gav borgerskabet opskriften pa det gode liv, mens butikkernes spejlglasvinduer forandrede byens rum, skabte de moderne handelsstrAeder og vAekkede begAer hos promenerende forbrugere. Ogsa tv drager, og bogen undersoger 1970'ernes debat om borns forbrug af borne-tv, reklamer og merchandise. For forbrug er ikke blot drommenes holdeplads, men en kulturhistorisk faktor, der former og udvikler vores liv og samfund.
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.
