Revisiting the Nabberör Boat Grave
This paper presents a reflexive, transdisciplinary reassessment of the Nabberör boat grave, dated to the 8th century CE, on the Baltic island of Öland. The osteological material and the grave goods are carefully re-examined and recontextualised using a multiproxy approach, including new archaeological, bioarchaeological, zooarchaeological, isotopic, and aDNA analyses. The results reveal a multiple burial of remarkable complexity, containing betwe…
Evocative imagery at whose expense? Critical perspectives on Viking Age mortuary reconstructions
This article critically examines Viking Age mortuary reconstructions, a genre of archaeological imagery increasingly influential in scholarly and popular contexts. Focusing on Scandinavian examples produced since 2000, the study interrogates the emotive, affective and ethical dimensions of these visualizations. Employing a visual social semiotic framework, it analyses vantage points, colour schemes, bodily representations and gender codings to de…

The recent developments in 3D acquisition and visualization technology has contributed to the rapid emergence of a large number of 3D collections, whose production is often justified as the democratization of data and knowledge production. Despite the fact that several 3D datasets are now available onlin…

A short review of previous and contemporary approaches to grave goods is given, with a focus on perspectives informed by practice theory as well as ritual theory. From this a…
