History, in the meaning of written sources, is available in Scandinavia from around 1000 A.D. In other parts of northern Europe a few hundred years earlier. Archaeology is a social science that use scientific methods for dating, provenance analysis, sample analysis etc. A lot of information can be determined from human bones, and DNA techniques gives even more opportunities, that presently are too costly to be used in any larger scale.The finds from settlements sites from this era are the covered post-holes from the longhouses and some hearths and storage pits together with some pottery, bones and occasional Iron tools. Graves from this period are for the most part discreet and seldom containing gifts. The keys to understand this period likely lies in the more special sites of the period, the bronze deposits, the heaps with fire-cracked stones and the occasional cult sites. The end of the Bronze AgeDuring this period this part of the world to the most part transit between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Traditionally the break between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age take place around 500 B.C. in the Nordic Bronze Age culture but in reality iron have replaced the bronze for cutting edges around 800 B.C. A fact that even one of the pioneers in early Swedish archaeology, Oscar Montelius, confirms. In Britain and in rest of northern and central Europe, for example Hallstatt culture in Austria, the transit takes place around the same time. Iron-working have been known in these regions for several hundreds of years at that point. For example: the oldest evidences of Iron-working in present-day Sweden are from around 1100 B.C. Worth mentioning is that the oldest evidence for bronze working from the same region is just a few hundreds of years older.However, even if the changes in metal working does correlate with a shift in the society of the time it´s most likely not the cause of the change. And the introduction of iron does not diminish the use of Bronze in most cases. It´s relevant to question whether the transit from bronze to iron had any greater significance at all in a larger scale. Settlement patternsThe society of the time had a strong maritime focus. All settlements where situated in the vicinity of waterway, but often not directly by the shores. Settlements where almost exclusively single household farms, with a few exceptions that are perhaps hamlets. One example of that is Apalle outside today’s Bålsta in Sweden, that is the largest excavated... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
