Abstract
The application of source criticism to archaeology
Kristian Kristiansen
1 - 5
Source critical analysis as here defined seeks to examine the effect of all influences acting on archaeological materials since they ceased to be an active part of a culture. The aim is to determine the general and specific representativeness and information value of the data, which should be quantitatively defined as far as possible. Au(adp)
Some developments in North European prehistory in the period 1969-76
Carl-Axel Moberg
6 - 26
Summarizes salient points in Scandinavian research in recent years, stressing the importance of detailed local studies ('micro-prehistories') and the near-abandonment of cultural labels in favour of socio-economic studies. Artefact studies are giving place to thc investigation of whole landscapes. Comments on the text are provided by A Fleming (who explores the future of 'culture' and also points to a dangerous separation between excavators and synthesizers) and by W Fitzhugh (who takes up some details of Northern research). Moberg adds a bibliography covering the last couple of years in Scandinavian prehistory.
Some reflexions on the classification of prehistoric and medieval iron-smelting furnaces
Irmelin Martens
27 - 47
Proposes a classification of bloomery furnaces based on shape (bowl, shaft, domed) with further divisions based on features like proportions, slag tapping (taken to be of less importance than Cleere allows), air supply, position relative to ground surface, inner and outer covering etc. R Pleiner and I Serning provide comments.
Birka graves by computer
Jozef Saers
84 - 91
Presents a method for sorting find associations with a computer's aid. A test was run on 353 Birka graves, with control from stratigraphy and coin datings. Au(adp)
Trade, markets and money in the European Early Middle Ages
Karl Polanyi
92 - 96
Reminds us that trading and raiding went together in Viking times, that markets were often established in border zones or under Church auspices (trade follows the relics), and that gold and silver (whether as coins or as jewellery/plate) was originally used to pay tribute, taxes and fines, only later being used as a medium of exchange. Gift and counter-gift long remained the principal means of exchange.
Ports of trade in early medieval Europe
Richard Hodges
97 - 117
Some ideas of Polanyi's are developed to define four classes of early medieval trading settlement: (1) Entrepôts, the locations of middleman traders (Dorestad-Hedeby type); (2) Semi-neutral coastal sites (Kaupang-Hamwih typc) operating long-distance trade and controlled by a king, with a subclass of monastic trading settlements (Nendrum, Wearmouth); (3) Inland trading centres, eg Verdun; and (4) boat-raft traders on river estuaries, say on the Witham and Thames. 'Reader-comment' is offered by George Dalton, Robin Terrence and Helgi Thorlaksson, with a response by Hodges.
Behavioural archaeology and refuse patterns: a case study
Paul Halstead
Ian Hodder
Glynis Jones
118 - 131
At the late Iron Age settlement of Wendens Ambo (Essex) it was shown that bone and pottery refuse from the eating of meals was distributed differently from that deriving from food preparation. Some conclusions were then drawn about activity variation within the settlement. Similar but weaker patterning was evident in the Roman occupation of this site. Au(adp)
