Mineralogy of ceramic wares from the Augland workshop (c. 200–450 CE) in southernmost Norway: New insights from petrography, mineral chemistry and clay mineral X-ray diffraction
This pilot study of ten samples from the Early Iron Age ceramic workshop at Augland (c. 200–450 CE) in southernmost Norway identifies the microstructural and geochemical signatures of the main types of wares and relates these to the overall chronology of the site. Having the advantage of an already established chronology and related range of pastes, this study improves our understanding of key factors of the workshop’s technological development. …
The Herlaugshaugen ship burial: Closing the gap between the East Anglian and Scandinavian ship burial traditions
The large mound of Herlaugshaugen, on the island of Leka off the coast of Norway, has long been associated with the legendary storeroom (and burial place) of Herlaug, a pre-Viking king of the region Namdalen. Excavations at the site in 2023 recovered iron clinker nails and wooden fragments, identifying one of the earliest ship burials in Scandinavia. Here, the authors detail these findings and explore the significance of Herlaugshaugen in expandi…
Pyrotechnology in Turbulent Times: The Hølland Ceramic Workshop and its Implications for Connectivity in Migration Period Western Scandinavia
A new and ‘riveting’ method: Micro-CT scanning for the documentation, conservation, and reconstruction of the Gjellestad ship
The cultural heritage sector has increasingly explored the use of micro-CT (μCT) across numerous projects seeking to better understand past cultures and the materials they have left behind. As such, the role of micro-CT (μCT) is still being developed and projects continue to show novel ways that the technology can be adapted to. The Gjellestad ship, located in Halden (Østfold in Viken), Norway, is dated to the Viking Age and was found in a poor s…
Always Viking’: Archaeologists Collaborating with Public Service Media to Broaden Access to Archaeological Fieldwork
This article examines how collaboration with Public Service Media structures the relationship between archaeologists and the public. To be able to understand such collaborations, we have studied an online news production by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, ‘Always Viking’, covering one week of excavating the recently discovered Viking ship at Gjellestad in Norway. The findings suggest that the journalists, even when doing an online-first p…
What Happened at Augland? A Social Chronology for the Demise of a Roman Iron Age Ceramic Workshop in South Norway
The unique ceramic production site at Augland in southernmost Norway thrived for more than 250 years until its demise in the troubled Migration Period. Contrary to previous opinions, we argue that production ended around AD 450–460 and not in the sixth century. Our approach, based on the craft practices, reveals that the introduction of a novel technology accelerated the process, fuelled by a regional power shift that severed once‐resilient ties …
Burial Mounds, Ard Marks, and Memory: A Case Study from the Early Iron Age at Bamble, Telemark, Norway
The point of departure for this article is the excavation of two burial mounds and a trackway system in Bamble, Telemark, Norway. One of the mounds overlay ard marks, which led to speculation as to whether the site was ritually ploughed or whether it contained the remains of an old field system. Analysis of the archaeometric data indicated that the first mound was related to a field system, while the second was constructed 500–600 years later. Th…
