Martens, Jes (2023). The migration of the Cimbri Connecting history and archaeology. I Guichard, Vincent (Red.), Continuities and Discontinuities at the end of the 2nd century BC in the Celtic space and its periphery. BIBRACTE EPCC. ISSN 978-2-490601-13-4. s. 241–248. Vis sammendrag
In this article, we explore the relationship between the Celtic cultures and the northern European plain region. We examine the exchange of goods, technologies, organizations, and religions between these two regions to better understand this relationship. Our focus is particularly on the period of the 2nd century BC and we aim to detect traces of continuity and/or discontinuity in the northern plain region. To achieve this, we rely on the study of material elements from Jutland and extend our analysis to Scandinavia and northern Germany, to the extent possible. We argue that the start of the Cimbri is much earlier than the five to six years usually ascribed to the prehistoric part of their migration. Since the written sources point at the area of the Jastorf culture or Jutland as its source it is obvious to look for traces of Jastorf migration and this we have abundantly in the 3rd and early part of the 2nd Century BC connecting the Southwestern North Sea area with the Northwestern Black Sea area. The Cimbri could therefore follow a well-established route. The reason why we gradually loose their track is that the migration due to the time spent on the travel is gradually transforming partly because of renewal of equipment and partly due to that new people were absorbed by the migration. Therefore, when they finally came into contact with the Romans, the migrants would appear more as Celts than Cimbri.

Ball brooches make a difficult research theme in Denmark. This is mainly because very few of the hitherto published specimens were found in a context or under circumstances that help to shed light on their chronology. The most recently published study is a very brief paper by Jesper Laursen on the chronology and typology of ball brooches (Laursen 1984). Laursen’s paper was published at a time when hobby metal detecting was only at its early stages in Denmark. Therefore, this hobby had not yet had its impact on the material. Metal detecting favors objects with much metal and since cultivated soil contains a lot of iron waste most hobby detectorists tend to screen for iron. Consequently, objects of bronze, silver and gold will have a tendency to dominate the finds brought in by these people, and especially massive objects. Thus, ball brooches, especially the cast bronze specimens, would have a good chance to be detected and collected. As the internet developed, some private sites were established were the finders themselves published their finds. Recently the app named DIME was launched by University of Aarhus (in September 2018) and until today (29.09.2021) 121.186 finds have been registered by private users in the database. The newly available information, correlated with the previous ones, offers the possibility of a preliminary study of the ball brooches, as demonstrated in this article.

I årene 1989-1991 foretog Natinalmuseet en serie målrettede efterundersøgelser af det kendte, fredede fortidsminde Borremosefæstningen i det centrale Vesthimmerland. I denne artikel fremlægger den ansvarlige for de naturvidenskabelige undersøgelser, Charlie Christensen, og leder af projektet, Jes Martens, resultatet af disse undersøgelser og deres konsekvenser for forståelsen af anlægget og dets historie. Artiklen forholder sig også til de tidligere undersøgelser foretaget af DGU og på baggrund af dette rekonstrueres stedets historie. DGU’s pollenserier var udtaget af lagserier, der var forstyrret af tørvegravning i jernalderen, hvorfor tidsrummet lige før og under bosættelsen ikke var repræsenteret i pollendiagrammerne. Nationalmuseets analyserede pollenserie var udtaget i et uforstyrret område, hvorved efterfølgende forløb kunne fastlægges. En klimatisk betinget vandstandsstigning omkring 800 f.kr. medfører at birkeskoven på Lille Borremose drukner, og der dannes lokale søer på de lavereliggende områder. Samtidig ryddes lindeskoven på den lille holm i sydenden af mosen. Efter græsning overgår vegetationen på holmen i lynghede. Tidligt i førromersk jernalder ses begyndende højmosedannelse i den omgivende mose og omtrent samtidig (i det fjerde århundrede f. Kr.) anlægges en vej ud til holmen som befæstes og bebygges. I bebyggelsens levetid sker der en hurtig vækst i tørvedannelsen. I det andet århundrede f.Kr. nedlægges landsby og voldgrav, som derefter udjævnes og omdannes til ager. I de forseglende fyldlag fra voldgraven findes keramik, som daterer hændelsen til slutfasen af førromersk eller tidlig ældre romersk jernalder. Samtidig ses der i pollendiagrammerne en stigning i kornpollen. Den dyrkede ager har på sines steder nået ud over voldgraven. I det fjerde-femte århundrede er dyrkningen forbi og højmosedannelsen er så fremskredet at tørven ekspanderer ind over voldgraven og marken. I hele det undersøgte tidsrum er mosen blevet udnyttet til tørvegravning.

Chronologie stellt Objekte und Befunde in einen Kontext. Um eine archäologische Chronologie aufzubauen,benötigt man Veränderungen: Veränderungen in Form, Stil und Technik, in der Auswahl von Typen usw. Im Falle von auf einanderfolgenden folgenden Veränderungen, ist eine relative Chronologie einfach zu erstellen. Erheblich erschwert ist dies jedoch beigleichzeitig erfolgten Veränderungen. Von einem chronologischen Standpunkt aus betrachtet, ist es dann schwerer, für Kontinuität zu argumentieren. Aus der Interpretationsperspektive könnte man versucht sein, von Brüchen zu sprechen und dramatische Erklärungen anzubieten. Genau das trifft auf die vorrömische Eisenzeit im nördlichen Mitteleuropa zu. Schrittweise Veränderungenwerden üblicherweise als Anzeichen einer erfolgreichen und blühenden Gesellschaft gewertet, während unvermittelte Änderungen mit Krisen, Brüchen oder gar einem Bevölkerungswechsel assoziiert werden. Aber ist das Verhältnis zwischen Chronologie und Geschichte so einfach? Dieser Beitrag konzentriert sich vor dem Hintergrund aktuell publizierter hochaufgelöster Klimadaten auf den Übergang von der frühen zur späten vorrömischen Eisenzeit.

During the Late Bronze Age and Early Pre-Roman Iron Age the landscape of Northwestern Europe underwent great changes. The landscape was opened up and to a large extent parceled into extensive systems of fields, the hitherto scattered settlements were nucleated into village-like structures, and large linear structures that cut through the landscape appear to mark borders between territories. This process is particularly visible in Jutland, but does it apply to the rest of Denmark and Scandinavia? This is the subject of this paper.

For many years double-pointed wooden sticks were unique to the Pre-Roman Iron Age (4th-2nd Cent. BC) fortified settlement in Borremose, North Jutland, but since 1998 the have turned up at three new sites, two in west Jutland and one in Scania. While they were not found in situ at the locus classicus and therefore were hard to interpret this was not the case at the two West Jutland sites. At these sites identical poinst were sunk into the ground as caltraps around fortified settlements and it is therefore logical to expect that the same was the case at Borremose. However, since none were found in situ, they could not have been applied in exactly the same way, and therefore the author suggests that they must have been sunk into the outer side of the earthern banks. Since they are now known from several sites from a wider area one would expect it was a more commonly known artefact than previously known.

Iron Age (500 BC-1000AD) settlements have been excavated in large numbers in Denmark and Scandinavia, and not only the houses but the layout of the farms and villages are well illuminated themes. Since this is not the case everywhere in Europe, this paper focuses on the important first step in order to get to grips with this problem; the archaeological prospecting. There are a number of methods at hand and they work best in combination. While prospecting, the archaeologist has to work in a source critical manner in order not simply to reproduce already known facts.

Norsk arkeologi har for lenge inntatt en avventende holdning i forhold til privat metallsøking. Man har også vært for rask til å frede funnsteder med henvisning til at in situ-bevaring er den foretrukne bevaringsform, på tross av at forskning viser at gjenstander i pløyelag utsettes for aksellerert nedbryting. De senere år er funnstrømmen imidlertid økt dramatisk og det er på tide ikke bare å ta grep men også innse at dette materiale har et stort vitenskapelig potensial som best kan utnyttes dersom man går i samarbeid med de private metallsøkere. Den norske lovgivningen tillater som i Danmark privat metallsøk, men kulturminnevernets organisering er annerledes og byr på fler utfordringer. Skal man derfor nå tilsvarende resultater som i vårt naboland krever det et tett samarbeid og en felles forståelse mellom museer og fylkeskommunale kulturminneverns-instanser. Får man det til vil samarbeidet med de private aktørene kunne bidra til en tettere oppfølgning av tilstanden på kulturminner i dyrket mark i tillegg til oppdagelse av nye lokaliteter og fordypet kunnskap om datering og karakter av eksisterende lokaliteter.

Since Gustaf Schwantes in 1911 included Jutland in the territory of the Jastorf culture this has been taken as a fact within German archaeology, while Danish archaeology on the other hand never accepted it. When Schwantes later revised his opinion on Jutlands status this was not adopted by the German archaeology. In Danish archaeology this topic was never discussed at length – a fact which may be due to political reasons (the issue of Slesvig) as well as research tradition. However, several researchers agree that the local group of south Jutland is closely related to the Jastorf culture, while the Jastorf influence is gradually diminishing with the increasing distance to the river Eider. A review of the material record of the North Jutland local group leads to the conclusion that if it were included in the Jastorf culture, the effect would be that this notion was deprived of any meaning.

The paper presents the weapon finds from the Pre-Roman Iron Age on Zealand and in Scania and discusses typology, chronology and interpretation within an Northern European context. It is suggested that the finds represent a longue duree of East-West contacts and conflicts which are traceable in the present Danish area at least from the Pre-Roman Iron Age up to the Medieval period.

Settlement archaeology has taken different paths and paces in different regions of Southern Scandinavia. Until recently houses of the Pre-Roman Iron Age were only known in a few regions, but during the latter two decades this picture has changed radically. The emerging picture is that of diversity, though some traits and tendencies are seen everywhere. First of all, the period appears to be one of settlement expansion. Furthermore, social inequality seems to be expressed through architecture already from the start of the period, though this is accentuated towards the end of it. The regionality of the house architecture and the structure of the settlements at large is another important facet of the material culture that may prove to be important when interprering the meaning of cultural contacts and social organization of the Pre-Roman Iron Age.

In the nucleated settlements of the Pre-Roman Iron Age in Jutland it is possible to detect the outlines of a complex society with several social strata. This picture is only reflected in the burial custom during the Late Pre-Roman Iron Age, but basing on the settlements it is possible to detect that it existed already during the early half of the period. It is also possible to demonstrate that individual magnate families may hold their position over several generations, indicating an increasing stability of the system. A village may house more than one magnate family, but only one appears to occupy a leading position, the founder family. This position is based on special relations with the ancestors and the supernatural realm. Some villages like Borremose hold the role as central places for a larger region.

Abstract: The Medieval rural settlement in the central districts of Norway. A lost case? The aim of the symposium arranged by the Museum of Cultural History at University of Oslo March 11-12 2004 was to focus on the alarmingly low number of investigations of rural medieval settlement in other than demographically marginal districts. Researchers from all levels of the Norwegian cultural heritage management were invited to give a situation report, and selected specialists from all of Scandinavia were invited to help with finding a way out of the problem. During the period 1917-2002, 36 Medieval buildings on 18 locations have been investigated more or less thoroughly in the district of the Museum of Cultural History. The majority of the investigations were carried out as parts of research programmes and not as part of the heritage management. Furthermore, they are mainly located in demographically marginal districts. It is striking that the buildings investigated within the framework of research programmes are houses founded on ground sill while the houses unearthed during heritage management investigations are or have dug in constructive elements. It is a generally held view, that in the demographic centres the medieval farms are hidden under the present day farms. If so, then it is alarming that the cultural heritage management almost never investigates on these sites. This is due to legislation and to the assumption that nothing is preserved, but research results from other areas of Scandinavia prove this wrong. Thus the problem seems to be twofold; legislation and method. Keywords: Medieval rural settlement, excavation methods, heritage management, legislation, research status in Eastern Norway.

Modern agriculture and forestry is becoming ever more efficient and mechanized. Not only do the modern methods of cultivation increasingly change the physical environment, but they also change the soil's chemical and hydrological balance. For the cultural heritage located in farmland or forestry this means increased risk of attrition or annihilation. This process has already gone so far that much of the important information about ancient settlements today is in the plow layer and no longer in situ as preserved floor and cultural layers. This is one of the biggest challenges today's cultural heritage management and legislators are facing. In this anthology, 11 leading researchers from four countries are treating the subject, the governing legislation and strategies to ensure the research potential in the stray finds that everyone agrees are a large and indispensable source material to the past. Without this, many of our prehistoric settlements would today appear as anonymous and difficult to interpret. A hot topic in this context is popular participation. Can the professionals accept assistance from recreational collectors in their efforts to secure the endangered cultural heritage remains and how should that be arranged? In Norway, the archaeological world is divided on this issue, and it is therefore interesting that this anthology presents four different national examples of how it may be resolved.

The chronology of the 2nd century in the region is discussed demonstrating the difficulties in relation the relatively dated archaeological material to historical events with a known absolute date. Further more the reliability of the archaeological record is discussed, and it is demonstrated that absence of certain types of finds in a certain area does not automatically indicate absence of activities or settlement. The second part of the paper deals with the nature of the contact between the so-called "Celtic" and "Germanic" zones of Europe during the Pre-Roman Iron Age, and it is argued that though the two parts were aware of each other and their cultural and technological achievements their cultural and technological impact on each other was surprisingly limited.

Taking the outset in a recently found bronze brooch from the metal detecting site at Sem/Berg in Øvre Eiker, Buskerud in Southern Norway the presentation aims at highlighting a certain regional type of brooches presumably produced in Central Sweden and distributed to Southern Norway in the decades around the beginning of the Christian Era. It is argued that the distribution reflects marital alliences and therefore provides an understandable background for the regional conflicts of Southern Scandianvia which dominated the following period.
Martens, Jes (2019). Regionality? Local Groups? Culture Groups? Vis sammendrag
In Danish and Southern Scandinavian Iron Age archaeology the use of archaeological "cultures" is nearly absent. This is in stark contrast to the situation in the other countries neighboring the Baltic. In stead Scandinavain archaeology uses terms as "regions" and "local groups" in order to signify geographical cultural variations. Highlighting these differences this paper examins whether this is a product of different research traditions or factual differences in the archaeological records of the different areas.

The network 'Regional and transregional interaction between the Baltic and the Mediterranean spheres in the first Millennium BC' was established during a workshop in Kiel in 2015. At this workshop the participants agreed on a series of workshops. The fourth workshop in the series dealt with economy, production, trade and far distance connections in the Pre-Roman Iron Age in Northern Central Europe. Four talks presented the topics and relevant aspects in parts of the region. The discussion focused on what kind of production was at hand and what kind of exchange would be relevant to consider in this context within the region and with areas outside it.

The knowledge of the formation that shaped the archaeological record is of utmost importance when trying to make cultural comparisons between different regions. Differences in research traditions, methods, economy, organization of the heritage management, prestige of archaeology and relation to the local population, and even individuals may have caused that records have become practically incomparable.
