Abstract:		 Papers from a 1980 seminar. Ingmar Jansson (pp 1-19) on fine metalworking in Scandinavia offers a detailed study of oval brooches (P37, P51) showing the 'descent' from brooch to brooch of individual fields within the design; but output from individual craftsmen cannot yet be estimated, and the notion of 'mass production' may be illusory. Rich wood-carved finds from Trondheim prompt Signe Horn Fuglesang's study (21-31) suggesting that professional carvers were at work but that amateurs (gifted or not) were copying their products. Agneta Lundström (33-8) offers an approach to understanding workshop organization among Scandinavian glass craftsmen, while Irmelin Martens (39-46) considers the evidence for iron extraction sites, iron hoards, and grave finds. Björn Ambrosiani (47-50) discusses settlement structure in Viking Sweden, and Holger Schmidt's paper on Viking houses in Denmark (51-6) pays particular attention to differences between Iron Age longhouses and the 10th century Elisenhof type of house. The Trelleborg reconstruction is still valid.
