  Archaeologically produced knowledge of pre-history has grown to a point where International Relations (IR) may begin to incorporate it in their own work. In this article, we try to facilitate this process by introducing IR scholars to archaeology’s material data and ways of thinking about it. New types of systems units such as households and kinship emerged in pre-history and had effects on temporality and territoriality as well as knock-on effects on institutions such as war and trade. If we understand the origins of these phenomena better, we are better equipped to understand how they work at the present time. Focussing on a key topic in IR, namely systems emergence, we splice archaeological and IR approaches to systems. Four key factors for systems emerge appear: competition for resources, interaction capacity, social imitation and stable food resources. We then show how these factors were at work in the two earliest proto-systems to be found in Europe, namely House Polity Proto-Systems (9.000-4.500 BCE) and Segmentary Polity Proto-Systems (4.500-2.500 BCE). They are still active. We conclude that when studies of pre-historic systems, institutions and practices point up deep structural factors like, we should not expect them to lose their relevance any time soon.

  Reformene av kulturminnevernet har fulgt en forholdsvis konsekvent linje siden 1950-tallet. Dersom den forestående regionsreformen med tilhørende endringer i kulturminnevernet følger den sammen linjen, er det grunn til å tro at omorganiseringen kan bli vellykket, skape bedre forvaltning og ikke minst flere arbeidsplasser. Endringer i den myke politikken utenfor kulturminnevernet kan imidlertid bidra til at utviklingen får en annen og mindre ønskelig retning. Nøkkelen ligger i oppfatningen av ressursforvaltning. Kulturminnevernet forvalter i dag en kunnskapsressurs. I framtiden kan dette erstattes av kapitalforvaltning i randsonen av et estetisk marked. Hvordan vernemyndighetene posisjonerer seg i forhold til denne utviklingen vil også kunne påvirke retningen og resultatet av den forestående regionsreformen.

  This volume explores technology and communication among the early settlements of Northern Europe. The articles discuss case-studies and present overviews from the Early and Middle Mesolithic of Northern Europe. Special emphasis is placed on the spatial and temporal transmission of knowledge and culture. This subject addresses themes such as the transmission of specialised knowledge, the generative transmission of knowledge, the understanding of technology as somatic or incorporated culture in human society and the role of pedagogies and teaching in cultural sustainment and transformation. Other papers discuss the relation between demography and technological developments, as well as the natural and cultural context for the transmission of culture. The understanding of the transmission of technology is, again, closely interrelated to the nature and efficiency of social networks of contact and their social and physical framework.

  Arkeologifaget er midt i en spennende og dynamisk vekstepoke. Denne utviklingen (særlig i løpet av de siste 15 årene) bygger både på nye resultater og data, metodeutvikling, teori og fortolkning, men gjenspeiler også nye rammebetingelser, internasjonalisering, tverrfaglighet og økt offentlig interesse for faget. Skandinavisk arkeologi har i over 200 år vært en sentral premissleverandør til den internasjonale utviklingen i arkeologifaget, og er sentral i dagens kunnskapseksplosjon. Norsk arkeologi er en del av denne utviklingen. Et felt der dette sees tydelig er studier av det tredje årtusen f.Kr. i Norge, med innvandring, språkskifte, storstilte samfunnsendringer, innføring av ikke bare en jordbrukskultur, men en avansert gårdsinstitusjon, gryende bruk av metaller, integrasjon i europeiske nettverk og regelmessig sjøreiser over åpne havstrekninger. En rivende utvikling til tross, det er fremdeles mange uløste faglige utfordringer, for eksempel å sikre kulturminnevernets rolle i framtidig forskning, gjøre kulturarven til noe som tilhører alle på tvers av etniske og sosiale skillelinjer og utvikle avanserte, tverrfaglige laboratorier for ny kunnskapsvekst. Nettopp utforskingen av det tredje årtusen viser behovet for på ny å utforske de politiske konsekvenser av de arkeologiske kunnskapene og bidra tydeligere i debatten om samtidens presserende spørsmål: klimaendring, folkevandringer og kulturmøter og -konflikter.

  The Norwegian coast facing the Atlantic Ocean was ice free as early as the Allerød oscillation in the late Pleistocene. The landscape was probably habitable for humans. It has, therefore, been assumed by several scholars that this coastline was visited or inhabited from the Late Glacial period onwards. In part, this argumentation is based on the presumed proximity of the Norwegian mainland and Doggerland, which existed between present-day Denmark and Great Britain because of a much lower global sea level. The aim of this paper is to examine the 14C dates available from the oldest Norwegian settlement sites, and to compare them to the Quaternary processes of deglaciation and sea-level change. The hypothesis is advanced that humans did not settle in present-day Norway before a sheltering passage of islands and peninsulas had developed between the Swedish west coast (Bohusla¨n) and the Oslo area. This happened in the second half of the Preboreal period, at approximately 9.3 cal ka BC, or in the final centuries of the tenth millenniun BC.

  Our contemporary world is in the throes of accelerating transformation usually subsumed under the title of “globalization.” This process has numerous interconnected driving forces and fields of impact—fields and forces that structure and are structured by each other: instant global information flows, globalized economies, economic competition and labor markets, political structures, and ideological streams. Sociopolitical forces impact globally, creating global migration and global interaction. For heritage management, as well as for heritage studies, policy-making, and public outreach, this situation increasingly challenges us to meet common problems and possibilities—to understand potentials and limitations of developing information technologies, the politics and sociology of various management structures, the politics of heritage impact on various public stakeholders and identities, and the impact and limitations of the managerial tool of jurisprudence.

  During the last ten years there has been a growing interest in understanding the earliest settlement of northern Europe. In Norway, specialized marine adaptation and high mobility based on traffic with seafaring skin boats are key elements in a new synthesis of the colonization process. This article addresses the process of colonization from a perspective of long-term history, analysing the record in an archaeological retrospective perspective. Such an analysis is intended to challenge and discuss some of the presumptions giving an implicit framework to the current state of knowledge. The main argument is that the long-term structures of Mesolithic settlement and subsistence in Norway are key for understanding the colonization of this landscape. Key elements in such a discussion are the nature of the early Mesolithic transport and communication systems. It is reasonable to question the range of mobility and the seagoing quality of the vessels. The sites preserved show traces of boat production that resembles the rest of the Mesolithic. This touches upon a more fundamental question concerning the status of the archaeological record as source material for understanding human societies and history.

  I dag er det en utbredt oppfatning at de kulturhistoriske museenes omfattende samlingsoppbygging hører fortiden til. Fagfolk spør seg om museenes samlinger har noen betydning som forskningsmateriale i samfunns- og kulturvitenskapene. Kulturhistorisk museum ved Universitetet i Oslo har tatt denne utfordringen på alvor. Museet står for en stor del av de arkeologiske undersøkelsene i forbindelse med samfunnsutbygging i Norge. Dette arbeidet er gjort til del av en kontinuerlig kunnskapsprosess, der forskningskompetansen som universitetene representerer, er en vital del av kulturminneforvaltningen. De arkeologiske utgravningene må forstås som del av en større kunnskapsforvaltning, der nettopp tilgangen til de rike datasettene i de store museenes samlinger samt universitetenes forskningskompetanse, er nøkkelen til en fortsatt forsvarlig utvikling. Bare når samlingene og samlingsoppbyggingen er del av aktive forskningsmiljøer vil de også for framtiden være en verdifull del av samfunnets kulturarv og hukommelse.

  This three-volume project presents current knowledge and updated research on the first phases of human settlement in Northern Europe. The temporal focus is on the first millennia of the Holocene and the area of special interest is the Scandinavian countries, the Baltic, and the northern parts of Poland, Germany and Great Britain. The area was among the latest colonised by humans after the Ice Age, thus the archaeological record gives an extraordinary detailed insight into the colonisation and socialisation of post-glacial Europe. During the last decades, the archaeology of this region has made major progress in methodological developments, collecting new data sets and in interdisciplinary research. The three volumes of The early Settlement of Northern Europe will provide these new results, organised according to three major themes. The books are sold as a set at a discount and individual volumes are also available separately.

Storstilt samfunnsutbygging eter seg inn i steinalderens kulturlandskap. Hvorfor skal vi ta vare på disse kulturminnene, spør enkelte samferdselspolitikere. Fordi vi har et globalt ansvar for å ivareta denne arven, er ett av svarene. Her ligger minnene om opphavet til dagens sivilisasjoner.

  Elementene som har bidratt så sterkt til å forme norsk identitet – bonden og sjømannen, gården og skipet – er ikke bare nasjonalromatiske myter. Vi kan følge dem over fire tusen år tilbake i tid, til slutten av steinalderen – og arkeologer gir gjerne overgangen fra jakt og fangst til jordbruk en framtredende plass i den forhistoriske samfunnsutviklingen. I historien om det norske var andre faktorer trolig like viktige: sjøfart, internasjonale nettverk og metall. Og alt dette er uløselig knyttet til et kulturelt nettverk som engang strakte seg fra Nord-Afrika til Nord-Norge.

  Probably the northernmost beaker in Europe is from the Selttabø site in Norway. Excavated in the 1970's, the beaker and the associated finds have in recent years gained renewed relevance through the unfolding interpretation of third millennium history. The poster mpresents the Slettabø beaker and its context.

  The core area of Scandinavian Norway is found from the southwest coast stretching north to the Arctic Circle. This area is bound together by intensified maritime interaction and alliance with the transition to the Scandinavian Late Neolithic. The transition is related to the establishment of a western Scandinavian Bell Beaker horizon; it is rapid and dramatic and mirrors the BB-transition otherwise in Europe. With in the diverse and extensive 1000 km coastal region affected, there a history that echoes broader Beaker developments was played out. Through neo-geographical and anthropological analogies the article proposes multi-factor models, including migration, social entrepreneurs and knowledge sociological aspects, to illuminate how the dramatic and rapid change in cultural and social life could have occurred. As such, this study from Western Scandinavia serves as an interesting case study of 3rd millennium developments in Europe.

  In 1972 and 1994 Norway had a popular vote for or against the European Union. At both occasions the majority of the voters turned down the union. This paper discusses some of the reasons for this rejection in an archaeological perspective. The part of the country where the majority of the voters were positive towards the union is approximately the same area where most traces of the early Neolithic TRB culture can be found (3800 BC). This is the districts around the Oslo fjord. At two other occasions the Stone Age material of Norway is also heavily influenced by continental Europe. These are the initial occupation of the coast after the Ice Age (9000 BC) and the late Neolithic period (2400 BC). Contrary to the TRB complex, these two waves of influence cover a much larger part of the country. This could be related to two very different ways of organising contact relations and control. The rejection of the European Union, the limited distribution of the TRB complex, and the homogenisation of northwest European culture in the third millennium BC can be interpreted as examples of the working of these two strategies in very different historical settings.
