The Sun, the Ship, and the Horse in Nordic Bronze Age Iconography, in Petroglyphs and on Bronze Objects
Constraining a bioavailable strontium isotope baseline for the Lake Garda region, Northern Italy: A multi-proxy approach
Middle Bronze Age Long Distance Exchange through Europe and Beyond: Beads of Egyptian and Mesopotamian Glass Reaching Denmark in the 14th Century BC
The introduction of the folding stool and the single-edged razor into Southern Scandinavia, as well as the testimony of chariot use during the Nordic Bronze Age Period II (1500-1300 BC ), give evidence of the transfer of ideas from the Mediterranean to the North. Recent analyses of the chemical composition of blue glass beads from well-dated Danish Bronze Age burials have revealed evidence for the opening of long distance exchange routes around 1…
Ølby Woman: A Comprehensive Provenance Investigation of an Elite Nordic Bronze Age Oak-Coffin Burial
The Early Nordic Bronze Age oak coffin burials include some of Europe’s best preserved human remains. Although traditional typological examinations thereof have not always found clear foreign references, recent provenance investigations from Egtved and Skrydstrup suggest that the two women were of non-local provenance. In order to investigate potential mobility patterns and how these might or might not be related to the archaeological evidence, w…
Bronze Age Archaeology and Cosmology: Dialogues at the Crossroads
The article is a historiographical exposé on lifelong scientific dialogues between Klavs Randsborg and the author that have shaped the current understanding of Nordic Bronze Age beliefs. Through the demonstration of wideranging contacts across Europe and beyond – till Egypt and Mesopotamia, the article shows how these interactions have nourished the Nordic cosmology and tastes and impacted local ideologies. Metals, amber and glass were not only c…
Mesopotamian glass from Late Bronze Age Egypt, Romania, Germany, and Denmark
Opening the Bronze Age world
In the above paper by Johan Ling and Zofia Stos-Gale, an object seen in a number of Swedish rock paintings and carvings is understood to be a representation of the so-called oxhide shaped ingot of the eastern Mediterranean Minoan-Mycenaean Bronze Age culture
Between Egypt, Mesopotamia and Scandinavia: Late Bronze Age glass beads found in Denmark
The Nordic razor and the Mycenaean lifestyle
The bronze razor with the horse-head handle appeared in Scandinavia in the fifteenth century BC. Where did it come from and what did it mean? The author shows that the razor had some antecedents in the Aegean, although none of these objects were imported to the north. He argues that the Scandinavian warrior class consciously adopted elements of the Mycenaean warrior package, including a clean-shaven face. This vividly exposes new aspects of the b…
The Gundestrup Cauldron: Thracian Art, Celtic Motifs
Almost every year new articles dealing with the Gundestrup Cauldron occur. The place of origin has been the main issue of the discussion. Two areas have been preferred : present day France and the areas around Lower Danube. The reason for this divergence is the ambivalence of the testimony provided by the cauldron itself : on one hand the style and workmanship is clearly Thracian, on the other, some of the motifs and objects depicted are Celtic. …
Bronze Age tripartite cosmologies
Das reiche ikonographische Material der nordischen Bronzezeit, wie es auf Felszeichnungen und Bronzegegenständen wie z.B. Rasiermessern zu finden ist, scheint eine komplexe Mythologie zu vertreten, die sich auf die ewige Fahrt der Sonne durch die verschiedenen Sphären des Kosmos bezieht. Die Sonne und ihre göttlichen 'Helfer' wie das Schiff, das Pferd, der Fisch und die Schlange sind nicht die einzigen, die eng mit dieser zyklischen Mythologie ve…
