Coastal living in the Mesolithic – a technological approach.
Show summary
In mobile societies, settlement is as much about movement as about choosing a place between movements, and it activates a wide range of considerations and knowledge that depend on different fields of experience.
Living and moving in coastal landscapes requires specific knowledge and know-how. To ensure safety and success in the variety of everyday activities, a certain insight into the local environment and its potential and challenges is a necessity.
This presentation will attempt an approach to settlement and mobility as technologies, including both material and immaterial aspects. Discussing examples from the Mesolithic and Neolithic in South Norway, the approach allows the exploration of the significance of knowledge transmission and experience for phenomena such as site location, dwelling practices and movement in coastal areas.
Keywords: mobility, site variability, technology, Mesolithic/Neolithic, South Norway

The technological turn – or how to make social sense of lithics.
Show summary
Abstract:
During the last decades, a growing number of scholars have taken an interest in a technological approach to the archaeological record. This turn in how technology is studied opens up for new progress in our understanding of the relationship between the archaeological record and the agents and societies that produced it. So far, the focus has mainly been on agents and individual actions, while the relations to larger social and cultural processes and practises have not received the same attention. Whereas some theoretical and methodological advances have been made, the theoretical foundation of such an approach is still in need of development and discussion.
The paper will concentrate on the potential in the technological approach to explore large-scale sociocultural processes, as well as the theoretical and methodological basis on which we can build such an approach by combining Mauss’ technological perspective with cultural knowledge transmission theory and Durkheim’s concept of social density. The paper suggests a model of the relationship between social organisation, knowledge transmission and cultural variability, as well as illustrates its application with archaeological examples.

New Perspectives on Old Shores: Current approaches on the Stone Age in Eastern Norway.
Show summary
The coastal and inland areas landscapes of southeastern Norway offered resource rich environments for Mesolithic hunter-gatherers to settle in. This human activity has left an extensive dataset for archaeologist to study settlement and activity from the seashores to the high mountain areas.
In recent years, there has been a development in archaeological analysis of human activity in the region applying the large amount of data generated by recent archaeological excavations and surveys in novel ways, especially in the regions former coastal areas.
The use of archaeological big-data, such as radiocarbon dates and surveyed sites, has given new insights to past population dynamics, and coupled with environmental data this has offered us possible explanations to variation in settlement patterns. Further, detailed analysis of lithic technology have provided insight into raw material procurement, movement of people and shifting social networks. Moreover, the identification of some hinterland sites opens up for a better understanding of the importance and use of the coastal hinterland.
In this paper, we will look closer at the recent development in archaeological research on coastal societies in southeastern Norway. We will present cur-rent perspectives as well as which future avenues we will explore in order to increase our knowledge on hunter-gatherers settlement, mobility and economy in coastal areas.

Coast-concepts in Norwegian Stone Age Archaeology.
Show summary
The coast plays a major role in Norwegian Stone Age archaeology. Hundreds of sites from the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods were situated close to or directly at the shorelines. They witness of the economic, social and ritual importance of the coastal zone. However, the “normality” of coastal sites seems to have prevented further reflections about the concepts that have been applied to study coastal sites and the relevance of the coast in the Stone Age.
Our talk will identify concepts and epistemological perspectives of how archaeologists have dealt with coastal issues in Stone Age archaeology in a research historic perspective – from early geoarchaeological studies focus-sing on land uplift and coastal sites (“the beach model”), via more processually oriented division of landscape spaces and their environmental characteristics. We will also discuss the sites’ economic functions, based on more recent, ethnoarchaeologically influenced, perspectives on taskscapes, movement in and experience of the coastal zone.
