  • By Who, for Whom? Landscape, Process and Economy in the Bloomery Iron Production AD 400–1000

    Open AccessEva Hjärtner-Holdar, Lena Grandin et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Archaeology and…2023

    Landscape, process and economy in the bloomery iron production during AD 400–1000 are all integrated in this paper initiated by an archaeological excavation of a bloomery site in Motala in Östergötland, southeast Sweden. This site is one among other contemporaneous sites with similar features, such as long-term iron production and a location in the landscape within easy reach of communication routes and, most importantly, access to the vital raw …

    The remarkable typological parallels between Carpathian and Scandinavian metalwork, especially from around 1700 to 1500 BC, have long been stressed as evidence that the Carpathian tell communities supplied the Scandinavians with copper. Thus, this study's main objective was to investigate if Bronze Age societies in Scandinavia and the Carpathian basin utilized the same copper sources. To test this hypothesis, analyses, comprising lead isotopes an…

  • Hunter-gatherer metallurgy in the Early Iron Age of Northern Fennoscandia

    Open AccessCarina Bennerhag, Lena Grandin et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2021Cited by: 3References: 15

    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 …

  • Moving metals IV

    European Bronze Age swords had high functional and symbolic value, and therefore they are an interesting case for approaching questions of provenance and trade in Bronze Age Europe. It is often assumed that there is a strong affinity between metal supplies and artefact type. However, this study demonstrates that metal supply and sword types are mostly unrelated. In this paper we present a comparative provenance study of 118 Bronze Age swords, whi…
