Where Research Meets Place
This article examines how place-based dynamics reshape historical research, drawing on a retrospective analysis of a project on 2,200-year-old iron metallurgy in Arctic Sweden. Findings of advanced ironworking among ancient hunter-gatherers challenged dominant center-periphery narratives and exposed the influence of ongoing marginalization in Sweden's far north. The research was redirected by local histories, Indigenous and minority politics, and…
Advanced Ancient Steelmaking Across the Arctic European Landscape
This article presents results that seriously challenge conventional frameworks regarding the time, course, and cultural context of the introduction of iron and steel in Europe, in turn central metals in the narrative of civilization development. From focusing on 2,000-year-old finds from 42 different sites across the national borders of present-day northernmost Norway, Finland, and Sweden, our study reveals advanced iron and steel production cont…
Towards a Broader Understanding of the Emergence of Iron Technology in Prehistoric Arctic Fennoscandia
The article critically examines interpretations of Old World ferrous metallurgical developments with reference to their consequences for Arctic Fennoscandian iron research. The traditional paradigm of technological innovations recurrently links the emergence of iron technology to increasing social complexity and a sedentary agricultural lifestyle, typically downplaying ‘peripheral’ areas such as Arctic Fennoscandia and its hunter-gatherer communi…
Hunter-gatherer metallurgy in the Early Iron Age of Northern Fennoscandia
The role of ferrous metallurgy in ancient communities of the Circumpolar North is poorly understood due, in part, to the widespread assumption that iron technology was a late introduction, passively received by local populations. Analyses of two recently excavated sites in northernmost Sweden, however, show that iron technology already formed an integral part of the hunter-gatherer subsistence economy in Northern Fennoscandia during the Iron Age …
