The Agrarian Life of the North 2000 BC AD 1000

The 14 articles presented in this publication represent some of the latest and most relevant research on rural settlement and farming from the Late Neolithic through the Early Medieval Period in Norway. It deals with the impact of climate change, plague and the AD 536â 7 volcanic event and some of the earliest farms north of the Arctic Circle. It provides new perspectives and archaeological evidence for the Viking age farm of Norway, differences in regional settlement structures of agrarian societies, the relation between houses and graves in the Iron Age, and varying food practices as indicators of societal change

Settlements without names, names without settlements – and the transformation to an occupied landscape

Archaeological settlement surveys have shown marked differences in the settlement structure between the Early and Late Iron Age. The historic Norwegian farm seems to be established at the end of the 6th century. This has consequences for the way we look at farm names. If the historical farms did not exist in the Early Iron Age, what were the ‘farm names’ in the Early Iron Age? The starting point for the discussion is that the relationship between people and landscape must have changed significantly at the end of the 6th century. The article discusses this by looking at how the landscape was used and experienced. While the Late Iron Age landscape was divided into properties and thus had a cell structure, the landscape of the Early Iron Age can be seen as a landscape defined and experienced through the movement between places defined by the practices that have taken place in these places. The differences between these two ways of experiencing the landscape mean that the practice of naming places must have been different. The terms chronotope and praxiotope are used to describe these two different ways of naming places. The theoretical starting point is symmetrical archaeology and practice theory.publishedVersio

"...en pludselig og stærk omvæltning"? Eldre jernalder og overgangen til yngre jernalder i Trøndelag. Praksis og overregionale nettverk.

Sammendrag av avhandlingen Avhandlingen har som mål å diskutere samfunnsorganisasjon i eldre jernalder i Trøndelag og overgangen til yngre jernalder. Avhandlingen drøfter om de arkeologiske sporene i eldre jernalder i Trøndelag representerer en pastoral-nomadisk kultur og om overgangen mellom eldre- og yngre jernalder ( 550 e.Kr.) skal sees som en overgang fra et pastoral-nomadisk system til et agrarsamfunn med basis i eid land. For å diskutere dette trekkes sosialantropologisk forskning på pastorale nomader og skriftlige kilder om germanerne på kontinentet inn i diskusjonen. Pastoral nomadisme og sedentære agrarsamfunn representerer to forskjellige måter å forholde seg til landskapet på. i avhandling blir slike relasjonelle forhold og de praksiser som var knyttet til disse drøftet. Et resultat av diskusjonen er at samfunnet i eldre jernalder kan sees som et pastoralt samfunn hvor mobilitet var et overordnet prinsipp og alltid en mulighet. Overgangen mellom eldre- og yngre jernalder kan dermed sees som endring i praksiser. Eldre jernalders krigere var en del av større mobile nettverk. Endringer i de lokale nettverkene på kontinentet (etterfølgerrikene) førte til endringer i de mobile nettverkene som igjen medførte endringer i de lokale nettverkene i Trøndelag. Praksiser som tidligere var spredd i landskapet ble nå samlet i praksiskomplekser – den norske historiske gården
