The first part presents an introduction to the methodology of chaîne opératoire from an evolutionary point of view. The aim of this section is to give the reader a framework for understanding one of the main theoretical challenges behind this book: how do cultures persist and evolve? The key argument is that analysis of the technological developments in the societies in question gives direct access to the fundamental principles of cultural stability and development. The second part of this introduction presents a synthesis of the culture-historical results from the articles presented in this book. Here, original hypotheses, challenging previous theories about the early settlement of North West Europe, are advanced, and a refined understanding of the cultural and historical trajectory is presented. The main discovery is that the colonization process of Northern Europe after the last Ice Age was a multi-faceted process, where different groups originating from south-western and north-eastern refugia contributed to the social and cultural developments in Early Holocene Northern Europe. The third part of this introduction tries to relate the analysis of technology as a means of studying society in general to a wider theoretical framework of the epistemological tradition. The concept of techniques, as defined by Marcel Mauss, constitutes a framework for a full-scale social analysis of present and prehistoric societies.

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.

Due to the need for a national strategy for offshore wind farms in Norway, a small and preliminary joint archaeological and geological research project was conducted. The aim of the investigation was to determine the possibilities for human occupation in the southernmost parts of the Norwegian sector of the North Sea during the Late Glacial and Preboreal periods. The research was in the shallowest area of the Norwegian sector of the continental shelf, south of the Norwegian Trench. By analysing 3D seismic reflection data, several layers with traces of drainage systems and other landforms could be identified in the sediments. These features were, however, mainly situated deep down below the surface of the seabed, and covered by more than 100 m of younger sediments. Their age is therefore uncertain, even if the depth alone indicates that they are much older than the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). A sediment core through the shallow sea-bed sediments (0–13 m below present sea floor) was analysed for environmental and chronological data. The youngest observed transition, from glacio-lacustrine to marine sediments, was dated to approximately 14,000 cal. BC or the Older Dryas. This indicates that this part of Doggerland was not dry land after the LGM, but was first covered by an ice-dammed lake and later inundated by saltwater from the Atlantic Ocean. The analysis also indicates that the distance from Doggerland to Norway, in the periods when people began to inhabit southern Scandinavia, was far too long to be crossed by boats or on ice. This makes the western coast of Sweden and Bohuslän the most likely bridgehead in the colonisation of Norway. Humans arrived at the Norwegian shores first when a safe and sheltered passage was created between Bohuslän and the Oslo Fjord area, at approximately 9300 cal. BC.

Overview of volume’s scope and contents. The volume springs from two events. One was the session ‘Moving on—colonization as a social process’, organised by Håkon Glørstad, Jarmo Kankaanpää and Ole Grøn at the European Association of Archaeologists conference in Helsinki in September 2012. The other was a conference in Oslo in December 2012, ‘Past mirrors: interaction and integration in the North Sea region in the Bronze and Viking ages’, which was held jointly by the Nordic Graduate School in Archaeology and the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo, organised by Zanette Glørstad and Lene Melheim. Both sessions encouraged theoretical and methodological discussion about the effects and conditions of human mobility, and the material aspects of cultural encounters in past contexts, prehistoric as well as historical. The authors of the current volume have been invited to share their viewpoints and observations on the viability of cross-period perspectives, as well as on the future of the use of anthropological and historical analogies in archae- ology. The outcome of using such a wide spectrum of perspectives is commented upon in an epilogue by a prudent advocate of comparative methodologies, Matthew Spriggs. The volume is divided into three parts: (1) Colonisation, examining how to approach and understand various processes of colonisation in prehistory and history; (2) Maritime Interaction, focusing on the maritime environment and the signi cance of the sea as both a physical obstacle and a highway, as well as a mental and ideological threshold; (3) Cultural Integration, explored as a topic in the wake of migrations or as an aspect of societies with a strong maritime focus.

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.

Abstract Since the 1990s Scandinavian countries have been adjusting the way they manage their cultural heritage and development-led archaeology. They align it based on the nations’ political beliefs, as well as pan-European legislation. Out of the Scandinavian countries Sweden has implemented the most radical and modernistic reforms. Although it is unclear whether these reforms have been entirely successful, many Scandinavian countries continue to introduce change. This paper addresses some of the new trends, and analyses their effect on Scandinavian archaeology as a scientific discipline. Theoretical trends that undermine the importance of humans usually enhance the role political directives play in shaping Scandinavian archaeology. Archaeological engagement with politics on a national level is of major importance for the future of European Archaeology. Keywords: Scandinavian archaeology, cultural heritage management, development-led archaeology, privatisation of archaeology

Show summary
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.

Show summary
The transformation of coastal and southerly Norway to an agricultural society has long been a theme of interest for Nordic prehistorians, and has commonly been interpreted as the outcome of a long drawn process of gradual transformation of hunter-gatherer societies. In the course of the last 20 years there has been an interpretative shift that instead emphasises a rapid transformation in the mid-3rd millennium, around 2400 BC. Agricultural evolution as a prime driver in prehistory has been abandoned in favour of a suite of related factors that include the establishment of the farm institution, but also technologies, expanding maritime communication, ideology and hierarchical social institutions. The Bell Beaker phenomenon is increasingly regarded as the driving force behind the dramatic transformations of large tracts of Scandinavia. Slettabø in southwestern Norway, with its potsherds, bifacial points, osteological data and maritime orientation, is a referential site in this regard. Arne Skjølsvold excavated the site in the early 1960s, and interpreted it within various Neolithic cultures. The present article re-evaluates stratigraphy and chronology, and outlines the site’s maritime character. Slettabø layer II is seen in context with mid-3rd millennium sites in western Scandinavia, e.g. in Jutland, but also sites to the north like the Mjeltehaugen grave monument with decorated slabs and the Skrivarhelleren rock shelter in the uplands. Interpreting data is based on social anthropological perspectives and a fundamentally historical approach.

This article presents an Early Neolithic site from Hamremoen in Vest-Agder county in southern Norway, excavated in 2010 and 2011. he excavation revealed an enclosure which resembles some of the Neolithic enclosures of the Early and middle Neolithic Funnel Beaker Culture (FBC). It is dated to the Early Neolithic, 3900–3600 cal BC. Vest-Agder, or the southernmost parts of Norway, are areas not normally included in the discussions about the FBC. Consequently, the excavation results from Hamremoen indicate that the FBC-inluenced areas were much larger than most scholars seem to think, stretching towards the North Sea coast of Norway. he site can be interpreted as a monument created to materialize a new social order or new ideas. Such a construction is very diferent from the material culture of the Mesolithic in this area. So far, a proper understanding of the cultural environment of the Hamremoen site is lacking. he nature of the FBC complex in Norway is also disputed. Still, the site could be of general importance for understanding the FBC complex. It represents a possibility to study Early Neolithic monuments and the process of Neolithization independently of the substantial agrarian agenda that most oten deines our understanding of the FBC.

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.

In Norway, cultural heritage management is still an integrated part of the universities. Five university museums are responsible for all development-led excavations. Thus, cultural heritage management is strongly inspired by the “humboldtian” idea that research, education, and management should constitute an integrated system of knowledge production. Such a system got its advantages but also its challenges concerning balancing the different tasks, secure sufficient academic growth, and internationalization. Today, the public agenda seem to disfavor cultural historical museums in general and university museums in particular. Their engagement in heritage management seem to be an outdated system. In this article we argue that even though the Norwegian system seems exotic, even archaic, it still got some important advantages. The holistic philosophy behind could be promoted as a viable solution for heritage management in general and a revitalizing of archaeological collections as source material for research and education.

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.

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.

Show summary
Norges minner fra steinalderens kystkultur er unike i en global sammenheng og kan vise dagens mennesker hvordan vi kan overleve klimakriser og dramatiske miljøforandringer. 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. Her er arkivet over menneskehetens mestring av klimakatastrofer som også truer dagens samfunn.

Show summary
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.

Show summary
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.

Glørstad, Håkon (2008). Two ways to Europe.
Show summary
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.
