  Finding resonance in Christopher Prescott's 'history in prehistory' perspective for the Bronze Age, we argue that a distinct ‘technology of remembrance’ developed during the Migration Period (MP, AD 400-550) in south-west Norway. During this period certain ceramic vessel types over time gained a unique value as grave containers. The troubled last decades of the MP marks the third and final phase for sophisticated crafts working with clay, metals and glass. Lingering as virtually the only ceramic type still in production in the 6th century, after two centuries of thriving progress and material experimentation, the production of bucket-shaped pottery collapsed immediately after its technological peak. Although largely concurrent with the recently much-debated AD 536-37 climatic ‘dust-veil’ event, the demise should be viewed against the background of processes and events in the foregoing centuries. In certain key respects they can be related back to incipient agropastoralists settling around Skagerrak. An important factor is the consistent use of bucket-shaped in MP burials, which has led to the contention that there may have been only one such vessel for each individual. When ceramic and metal crafts are viewed from an assemblage perspective and in connection with mortuary practices, applying a simple chaîne opératoire methodology, distinct patterns for handling bodies and grave objects emerge.

  The unique ceramic production site at Augland in southernmost Norway thrived for more than 250 years until its demise in the troubled Migration Period. Contrary to previous opinions, we argue that production ended around AD 450–460 and not in the sixth century. Our approach, based on the craft practices, reveals that the introduction of a novel technology accelerated the process, fuelled by a regional power shift that severed once‐resilient ties to south Scandinavia. This outcome is based on the analysis of Augland’s terminal century: 1) re‐analysis of radiocarbon data; 2) ceramic macroscopy; and 3) fine‐sorting of pastes using handheld XRF data.

  This paper presents distribution patterns and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope measurements of recently excavated faunal remains from two middens at Khami, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Zimbabwe. The middens are dated to c. AD 1475–1650. The results of the analysis indicate that food practices may have differed between high- and low-lying areas of the site, as reflected in the two excavated contexts studied here. δ13C values of serial samples of tooth dentine show that cattle and wild grazers consumed C4 grasses year-round. The availability of rich natural grazing would have been a considerable attraction to the builders of the site.

  This innovative volume draws on a range of materials and places to explore the disparate facets of Bronze Age society across the Nordic region through the key themes of time and trajectory, rituals and everyday life, and encounters and identities. The Bronze Age in Northern Europe was a place of diversity and contrast, an era that saw movements and changes not just of peoples, but of cultures, beliefs, and socio-political systems, and that led to the forging of ontological ideas materialized in landscapes, bodies, and technologies. Drawing on a range of materials and places, the innovative contributions gathered here in this volume explore the disparate facets of Bronze Age society across the Nordic region through the key themes of time and trajectory, rituals and everyday life, and encounters and identities. The contributions explore how and why society evolved over time, from the changing nature of sea travel to new technologies in house building, and from advances in lithic production to evolving burial practices and beliefs in the afterlife. This edited collection honours the ground-breaking research of Professor Christopher Prescott, an outstanding figure in the study of the Bronze Age north, and it takes as its inspiration the diversity, interdisciplinarity, and vitality of his own research in order to make a major new contribution to the field, and to shed new light on a Bronze Age full of contrasts and connections.

  Arkeologi er nok ikkje det systerfaget som ligg aller fremst i det tverrvitskaplege medvitet til dei fleste sosialantropologar. Men det stiller seg annleis den andre vegen for svært mange arkeologar. Sistnemnte er uløyseleg knytt til det antropologiske prosjektet i sin vidaste og mest inkluderande forstand; som utforsking av menneskelege eksistensbetingelsar og alltid pågåande engasjement med omgjevnadane. Den opplevde distansen mellom dei to faga er nok også eit høgst kontekstuelt betinga fenomen, for ikkje å seie eit lokalt problem. Mange stader elles i verda går samarbeidet føre seg saumlaust og på dagleg basis. Sjølv om det til tider er for lite samkvem og for mange strukturelle skjær i sjøen er det få, om nokon, arkeologiske debattar som ikkje på ein eller annan måte inkluderer bruk av, eller kritisk refleksjon over, sosialantropologisk innsikt. Spesielt tett er arkeologiens forhold til etnografi. Dette som metodisk tilnærming, som kjelde til tolkingsinspirasjon og som trope for kritisk sjølvstudium. Som den disiplinen som eigentleg aldri vendte seg bort frå det fysiske, substansielle og materielle, kan arkeologi mellom anna bringe inn diakron forståing og kritiske, gjennomtenkte tilnærmingar til temporalitet til framtidig samarbeid og diskusjon om materielle spor. Arkeologi står også strategisk plassert i eit tverrvitskapleg neksus som kan gje grobotn for interessant vidareutvikling av begge disiplinar, ikkje minst i kraft av sine nære band til fleire ulike naturvitskapar. Ved å dra veksel på eigne erfaringar frå forskingsprosjekt i det sørlege Afrika og Skandinavia, og etter å ha hatt det overordna ansvaret for arkeologiutdanninga ved UiO dei siste fire åra, vil eg presentere ei arkeologisk synfaring av mulighetar for metodisk, teoretisk og tematisk samarbeid som utgår frå felles interesser for materielle spor: i djup tid, i nyleg fortid, i samtid og i tenkeleg framtid.
