Research Report
The results from a magnetic survey and archaeomagnetic investigation of a medieval brick kiln at Kungahälla in Bohuslän (south‐west Sweden) are reported. Detailed magnetic total field and magnetic gradient measurements over known traces of the kiln showed marked local magnetic anomalies of up to 200 nT, revealing the rectangular shape of the kiln remains. Palaeomagnetic investigations of the remanent magnetization of 12 bricks from the kiln floor…
Archaeomagnetic investigations of Iron Age slags in Denmark
In Denmark iron production, by means of reducing bog‐iron ore with charcoal, was carried out at least between the second and seventh century AD . Since the 1960s magnetic mapping of iron slag remains have been used extensively at several sites in the southwestern part of Jutland in Denmark (e.g. at Drengsted, Snorup, Krarup and Yderik). A description of some of the magnetic surveying results, ideas of magnetic modelling, and magnetic and chemical…
Evidence for Church Orientation by Magnetic Compass in Twelfth‐century Denmark
The orientations of some 570 Romanesque churches (one‐third of the total) from four regions in Denmark show significant differences in the claimed east‐west orientation, being typically rotated 5‐15° clockwise from true east‐west. Magnetic declination was predominantly easterly between AD 1000 and 1600; the church deviations probably originate from sometimes using a magnetic compass, other simple and plausible causes for this ‘skewness’, for exam…
