Det är en källa till förståelse av allt från handel, rituella aktiviteter, hantverk och smide till konstruktionen av identiteter i det förflutna. Som material betraktat har metall även egenskaper som gör det tekniskt möjligt att spåra den under jord genom metalldetektering. Kunskapen om kulturarvet kan ökas och fördjupas genom samarbete med de entusiaster som utövar metalldetektering som hobby. Dessvärre motverkar regleringen av metalldetektering en sådan utveckling. Därför tog Örebro läns museum initiativ till ett seminarium kring hur samarbetet mellan metalldetekterare, arkeologer och forskare kan utvecklas. Texterna i antologin är en rapport från detta tillfälle, och belyser på olika sätt möjligheterna en ökad samverkan ger samt behovet av förändrade attityder. Samverkan med personer som vill använda metalldetektor, för att söka efter spår av forntida människor, har två syften. För det första att på ett ordnat sätt öka den arkeologiska kunskapen om det förflutna, för det andra att ge både metallsökarentusiaster och allmänhet en direktkontakt med forntiden. Vår förhoppning är att boken ger konstruktiva uppslag för att realisera dessa syften.

Bronze Age settlements and burials in the Swedish provinces around Lakes Mälaren and Hjälmaren yi... more Bronze Age settlements and burials in the Swedish provinces around Lakes Mälaren and Hjälmaren yield few bronze objects and fewer of the era's fine stone battle axes. Instead, these things were found by people working on wetland reclamation and stream dredging for about a century up to the Second World War. Then the finds stopped because of changed agricultural practices.
The objects themselves have received much study. Not so with the sites where they were deposited. This book reports on a wide-ranging landscape-archaeological survey of Bronze Age deposition sites, with the aim to seek general rules in the placement of sites. How did a person choose the appropriate site to deposit a socketed axe in 800 BC?
The author has investigated known sites on foot and from his desk, using a wide range of archive materials, maps and shoreline displacement data that have only recently come on-line. Over 140 sites are identified closely enough to allow characterisation of their Bronze Age landscape contexts. Numerous recurring traits emerge, forming a basic predictive or heuristic model. Bronze Age deposition sites, the author argues, are a site category that could profitably be placed on contract archaeology's agenda during infrastructure projects. Archaeologists should seek these sites, not wait for others to report on finding them.

Elite Settlements and Political Geography AD 375-1000 in Östergötland, Sweden. Kungl. Vitterhets Historie och Antikvitets Akademien (KVHAA), Handlingar, Antikvariska serien 49. Stockholm 2011. 165 pp. ISBN 978-91-7402-405-0.
The Swedish province of Östergötland has long been recognised as one of the 1st millennium's political hot spots. Splendid single finds, though never before surveyed comprehensively, offer a rough idea of where elite settlements might be sought. But not one of the ostentatious manorial buildings where the era's elite lived has been identified in the field. This book aims at beginning to remedy this regional absence of mead-halls, being an investigation of the internal political geography of Östergötland during the period AD 375-1000. Good candidate sites are identified in nine out of c. 155 parishes. Apparently they were occupied only rather briefly by magnates, and there is little sign of continuity anywhere.

The occasion was Fornvännen’s centenary, and the theme was the current status and future prospects of such scholarly journals.
This volume collects nine papers by participants in the seminar. They include the editors-in-chief of Acta Archaeologica (Copenhagen), Antiquity (York), Archaeologia Polona (Warsaw), Finskt Museum (Helsinki), Kuml (Aarhus) and the defunct Meddelanden från Lunds universitets historiska museum (Lund). Other contributions are made by representatives for the National Library in Stockholm, the Library of the Academy of Letters in Stockholm and the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin.
Main themes are the step from paper to on-line publishing, how to solve funding problems and the best way to ensure continued high academic standards.

Where to now? Where should we go? And, wishful thinking aside, where are we likely to end up?

Minst tre av fynden är från vikingatiden: ett dräktspänne från kring år 800 och två mynt från kring år 920. De har en exklusiv karaktär och bör ha tappats av folk som bodde i en föregångare till byn Södra Husby. Fynden ligger långt norr om närmaste liknande sett på regionnivå. Lokalt sett ligger två av dem inom 150 meter från 1800-talets huvudbebyggelse, vilket möjligen låter oss ana var den vikingatida bebyggelsen stod. Det är dock ytterst magert sett som bebyggelseindikation.

2008 och sållning av 28 provgropar i mars 2021 tyder på anspråkslös forntida och tidigmodern verksamhet på platsen, i det senare fallet kanske i form av en torpbebyggelse eller två. Däremot finns inga spår av någon medeltida närvaro, vare sig kunglig eller folklig, kyrklig eller profan. Totalt har över 170 kvadratmeter grävts ut på platsen under sakkunnig arkeologisk ledning.

Firma Geosök AB utförde för min räkning en georadarkartering av den berörda ytan 20 februari 2020. Elva spridda stolp- och pinnhål av varierande storlek syns i mätningarna men inga rännor, ingen husgavel och inga takbärande stolphålspar. 14-15 mars 2020 ledde jag en grundlig metallsökarundersökning av ytan och angränsande delar av åkern utan att vi fann någonting som kan dateras före 1300. I ljuset av dessa resultat verkar det mindre troligt att det stått något långhus på platsen.
Then came the ascendance to power of the Merovingians under Clovis and the end of the gold payments through the imperial recovery under Justinian. These political changes had an immense impact on elite material culture in early 6th century Scandinavia. Style II superseded Style I, weaponry abandoned Pontic models for Frankish ones, and Migration Period jewellery types were almost entirely abandoned for new styles. The new phase in the development of material culture is called the Vendel Period in Sweden, and lasted until the establishment of the first proto-towns and the start of the Viking raids about AD 800.
Solid gold and silver is nearly absent from the archaeological record of the Vendel Period. Gold was still used to gild fine copper alloy metalwork, a technique that requires very little material, but beyond that the goldsmith tradition was broken clean off. However, there are exceptions.
