Developer-Led Excavations, Geoarchaelogy & Bayesian Modelled Chronology of a Guild House and the Main Street at Medieval Odense
In Scandinavia, archaeological investigations have made much progress in detailing the characteristics of the earliest towns. Yet, understanding of urban stratigraphies remains limited, and this gap hampers our ability to define site formation processes and develop contextual palimpsests of town life at a formative time of urban development. This paper presents the results of a multi-scale analytical program applied to developer-led excavations o…
When God came to Town - Urban Development and Religious Practices in early medieval Odense, Denmark
This article presents a contextual approach to studying the role of the urban environment in introducing Christianity to Denmark between 900 and 1250. We consider sensory experience and apply the concept of lived religion to the highly varied and sometimes limited archaeological material from St Alban’s church in Odense, its cemetery, and the surrounding settlement, to show that the urban environment played an active role in integrating Christian…
Flow of Resources in a Changing World
The influx of prestigious foreign objects into Southern Scandinavia throughout the Iron Age and Viking Age is well-documented. For example, Roman or Frankish luxury objects would find their way north via trade or through dynastic gift exchanges as part of a conspicuous elite culture. Access to crucial raw materials has in many ways been formative for both prehistoric and historic societies. The availability – or lack thereof – of specific resourc…
Building an Identity
In the 16 th century, establishing and maintaining one’s status and position in society was an important social factor and motivator. This article examines to what extent such efforts can be deduced from archaeological material. The subject is the 16 th -century bishop’s palace in Odense, Denmark. This case study has been encouraged by the unprecedented large-scale archaeological excavations that have taken place in the Odense city centre in rece…
From the gallows to the grave - investigating the cause of death of seven skeletons from Renaissance Odense
century. From historical evidence, we can place the skeletons outside the western city gate, which is also where the wheel and gallows were located in Renaissance Odense. Based on the burial location and position in the grave of these skeletons, we hypothesize that the seven individuals were executed criminals. The results of the skeletal analysis show that all were young males. Two of the individuals have osteological evidence of decapitation. T…
