Marine reservoir effects in early Christian graves from Norway
We investigated radiocarbon dates of human bone samples from several medieval sites in Trondheim, central Norway. Stable isotope data was used to estimate marine correction for the radiocarbon dates, which is necessary to correct the radiocarbon ages and establish age models for the archaeological layers. We observed that a marine correction without ΔR does not lead to a well-defined model for all sites. Allowing a variable ΔR improves the model,…
The Management of Drinking Water in Trondheim from 950 to 1777 as a Source of Changing Attitudes toward Health
This article aims to illuminate how the management of drinking water and public health in Trondheim, Norway changed from 950 to 1777, from a private to public responsibility. A systematic analysis of five excavations in Trondheim shows that during the Middle Ages, only a few citizens had a well or a cistern on their property. This suggests that fetching water from above-ground sources was a regular practice. In the post-medieval period, this chan…
High-Definition Archaeology, Small-Scale Narratives, and Monetary Practice in Medieval Scandinavian Urbanization
High-definition archaeology is an efficient tool to study medieval urban economic practices. Medieval economy has been synthesized in ‘grand narratives’ which obscure the regional and local variations of economic practice. Through examples from two medieval towns in Norway and Sweden the article aims to show regional diversity in monetary practices as an alternative narrative to the grand narratives that leave a dominant impression of the past as…
Medieval Urban Environment
This article raises the question of how natural conditions and social practices interacted and provided groundbreaking premises for the development of the medieval urban physical environment. The main hypothesis is twofold: (a) that social practices in medieval urban communities are entangled with natural processes, (b) that mentality, knowledge and experience as elements in social practices are fundamental to the comprehension of the development…

Urbanity as social practice
I would like to thank the commenters for spending their time on critical and constructive responses to my paper 'Performing towns'. The comments add valuable insights, knowledge, viewpoints and ideas, which significantly elucidate the possibilities as well as the limitations of approaching medieval urban communities from a social-practice theoretical perspective (SPT). The commenters have pointed at theoretical questions too superficially treated…
Performing towns. Steps towards an understanding of medieval urban communities as social practice
Urban archaeology in Scandinavia has long been dominated by a processual understanding of medieval urban development. The author proposes that the concept of urbanity in the sense of 'urban living' should replace the processual and functionalist-oriented concept of 'urbanization', and that instead focus should be directed towards social processes, practices and materiality. He perceives the emergence of urbanity in the Middle Ages in the light of…
