Conservation or Development? Challenging the Heritagization of Shielings in Transitional Times, for Climate Mitigation and (Post-)Pandemic Development
The classic Scandinavian shieling consisted of a fenced site on outlying lands with meadows and structures for dwelling, stabling livestock, and processing milk. Through dismantling of rural, forested areas, competition for forest use and heritagization, shielings have been marginalized in today’s agrarian life and framed as relics of an outdated system. Shieling owners, like small-scale farmers all over Europe, face challenges including economic…
Reproducing biocultural heritage landscapes through alternative and retro-innovative food production
Landscapes rich in biocultural heritage are declining en masse across Europe. This is due to the effects of countryside depopulation and to large-scale, industrial agriculture. Landscape heritage and its associated biodiversity largely depend on pre-industrial agrarian management. Because authoritative conservation cares only for minor, more spectacular, landscape segments, other forms of everyday management of the more mundane biocultural herita…
Moving up the Hill? Peasant Strategies in Times of Plague and Climate Change
The Late Medieval Agrarian Crisis is associated with a desertion of rural settlements. Farmsteads in agriculturally-marginal locations are presumed to have been among the first to be deserted. In recent decades, interdisciplinary research has instead shown several examples of increased agrarian activity, including cereal cultivation, in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries in forested upland areas of boreal inland Scandinavia. Farmsteads and ha…
The history of settlement and agrarian land use in a boreal forest in Värmland, Sweden, new evidence from pollen analysis
Shielings are the historically known form of transhumance in Scandinavia, where livestock were moved from the farmstead to sites in the outlands for summer grazing. Pollen analysis has provided a valuable insight into the history of shielings. This paper presents a vegetation reconstruction and archaeological survey from the shieling Kårebolssätern in northern Värmland, western Sweden, a renovated shieling that is still operating today. The first…
Integrating Nature and Heritage in the Boreal Forests of Scandinavia? Exploration of a Low-Budget Method
The concepts landscape and biocultural heritage are based on an integrated view of nature and cultural heritage. This paper investigates the potential of using a low-budget method for integrating information on human impact and natural responses in the vegetation of boreal forested Scandinavia. The information from two national databases in Sweden – the National Inventory of Landscapes in Sweden (NILS) covering surveyed vegetation, and the Regist…
As far below as you can come’? Historical archaeology on vulnerability and marginalization of life at the bottom of the social ladder
In the 19th and early 20th centuries there were numerous non-proprietors andpaupers in the Swedish countryside, such as crofters, boarders and inhabitants of rural slums.Multisource methods such as triangulation of written documents, historical maps and archaeologicalevidence are used to study the living conditions, vulnerability and marginalization ofboarders and inhabitants of rural slums from an environmental justice perspective. Being poorals…
Invisible and Ignored
This paper aims to discuss subalterns in different social environments in Sweden. The potential of archaeological studies of landless subalterns in rural and urban areas are shown though a number of case studies. It is argued that archaeology can show the multivocality of the lives of the subalterns, in the same way as it shows how the subalterns organized their daily life. This is done through the use of the concepts of matterscape, powerscape, …
The Scandinavian shieling – between innovation and tradition
Shielings were used mainly in regions whose climatic conditions were difficult or who had limited acreage. The classic Scandinavian shieling consisted of a fenced site in outlying lands which included structures for dwelling, stabling cattle, processing milk and meadows for haymaking. There were two major challenges which faced early shieling scholars. First, it was viewed as necessary that shielings be divided into different typological and geog…
Historical Archaeologies of Transhumance Across Europe
Empowering marginal lifescapes
There is a rich, but unacknowledged, heritage of rural subalterns, crofters, in Scandinavia. A Swedish-Norwegian interdisciplinary research-network investigated the most prominent category – the remains of crofts. Due to industrialisation, urbanisation and the modern welfare state, the institution of crofting was abolished, and many crofters left for opportunities elsewhere. The welfare state transformed a landscape of living and working people i…
Methods in World History
ISSN: 2002-2131 Kriterium (Online) Interest in world history has never been greater-both among historians and the reading public. Globalization has coaxed historians out of their fixation on all things national, which has characterized historical research since the nineteenth century. But with this new global field of research has come new methodological problems. It is high time that these problems were tackled, if only to develop methods to ens…
Heritage and development outside the metropolis
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the contribution of heritage and participation to sustainable development in a postindustrial context. Special attention is paid to the problematic fields of attractiveness, growth and participation. New ways of working this field are called for. Design/methodology/approach – The study relies on retrospectiveparticipatory observation, citizen participation and document analysis. Findings – There i…
Discourses of Nature Conservation and Heritage Management in the Past, Present and Future
The relationship between heritage management and nature conservation in Sweden has changed over time, from an earlier division between the two sectors – with nature conservation attached to the growing movement of environmental politics – towards more integrated ways of working under the umbrella of sustainable development. As forests have been associated with nature, the earlier divide has been more evident with forested areas than agricultural …
The Crofter and the Iron Works
Consuming Nature-Producing Heritage
The nature conservation and heritage management policies of Sweden are moving towards integration. They are also promoting the increased public use of natural and heritage resources, and greater participation by local citizens in their management. In forested, sparsely populated areas, authorities are promoting tourism, especially nature and heritage tourism, to create growth and replace jobs lost in industrial closures and in the heavily mechani…
Centre, Region, Periphery. Medieval Europe Basel 2002. Volume 1
The Medieval and Later Archaeology opens up different and diverse viewpoints about the development and problems of structures, which have disappeared or survived in all the modern centres and regions of Europe. Traditional areas were characterised by cultural, economic, religious, and ethnic factors. Archaeology is able to show the growth, the change or the disappearance of special zones and centres. This main theme is presented in six sections. …
