Ostlänken – Communication Efforts
The government emphasizes the importance of Trafikverket []//[] working to communicate archaeological results to promote understanding of historical traces and fulfill national cultural heritage goals (Regeringsbeslut 2018).This notice accounts for the communication efforts within the archaeological project "Ostlnken".The new railway, Ostlnken, directly or indirectly affects approximately 700 archaeological sites.Against this background, Trafikve…
But How Do You Go About It?”
Partnership and dialogue are central concepts in na- tional heritage management. This article problema- tizes the concepts on the basis of a theme project con- ducted in a high school, where the aim has been to give the pupils insight into history-making processes. The school project was carried out as part of the public activity in a major contract archaeology project. The text has a self-reflexive perspective, analysing mobili- zation processes…
Crops, Cattle and Human DNA – The Motala Site and the Mesolithic-Neolithic Transition in Östergötland, Southern Sweden
Palaeogenetic research has recently questioned the notion that the transition to agriculture in south- ern Scandinavia was initiated by local groups of hunter-gatherers who adopted the new economy at the onset of the Neolithic. Instead, the transition is claimed to have been brought about by farmers who migrated to the region from the continent. In this paper we examine whether the idea of a migra- tion can be upheld when set against archaeologi-…
Participate in a Broader Sense? Thoughts on Swedish Contract Archaeology and Approaches to the Public in the Light of the Excavations in Motala 1999–2013
Whether and, if so, how archaeology can create meaning and value in society is a long and ongoing debate. Due to a rewriting of the Swedish law on cultural heritage, and the rhetoric of the national authorities stressing society’s extended expecta tions of the practice, the topic is more current than ever for Swedish contract archaeology. In a case study this paper addresses the subject from a local perspective, focusing on the use of archaeolog…
The Gap Between the Museums and Contract Archaeology
The Disputed Responsibility for the Cultural Heritage
This article deals with the conflict about the responsibility for costs in connection with contract archaeology. Today, according to Swedish legislation, whoever wants to disturb, move, or destroy an antiquity must pay for the archaeological excavation. The starting point for the article is an empirical case from the province of Östergötland to which an actor perspective is applied. The case is also placed in a context to do with tendencies towar…
Contract Archaeology, Social Media and the Unintended Collaboration with the Public — Experiences from Motala, Sweden
Swedish contract archaeology has a long tradition of making excavation results publicly accessible. Public engagement has often proceeded from the idea that archaeologists are the producers of knowledge and the public are the receivers. Public contacts have chiefly aimed at educating; at the same time, there has been a general interest in legitimising work done on behalf of citizens, largely thanks to public funds. In the last decade, digital tec…
