The Case of Sus .
Vis sammendrag
The relationship between humans and pigs predates most, if not all other human relationships with domesticated food animals. Already around 8,500 years ago, wild pigs/boars (Sus scrofa) became domesticated in multiple sites around the world, subsequently entering Europe during the Mesolithic period and Northern-Europe from around 4000 BCE. In a longue duree perspective, however, the domestication history of the modern pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) is a bit of an archaeological puzzle. This is partly a result of pigs being one of the few animals domesticated several, independent times across the globe and partly due to the difficulties distinguishing between the wild and the domestic Sus in the archaeological record. Setting the osteological and natural science aside, what made humans decide to domesticate the pig? An animal, which compared to all other domesticated food animals, do not have a by-product. So why did humans transcend from hunting to husbandry? Could it perhaps be that pigs actually domesticate themselves? Alternatively, was it a co-constructive domestication, and subsequently a more-than-human effort?
In this paper, I will apply a combination of Niche Construction Theory (NTC) and Optimal Foraging Theory (OFT) alongside Assemblage theory to explore the prehistoric relationship between humans and pigs from a conceptual point of view. Within this framework, I will consider both primary and compounding / secondary dynamics in this particular domesticating relationship. Drawing on archaeological examples, I will explore how the long history of the human-pig relationship challenges our idea of a clear boundary between nature and culture, and human and nature.

Scaling and evaluating Late Neolithic and Bronze Age settlement sites in South-Eastern Norway .
Vis sammendrag
In South-Eastern Norway, rock art sites, grave mounds, and various stray finds and hoards point to extensive networks and activity during the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age. What we have had little knowledge about in this region, however, are the actual settlements and the daily way of life in and around them during the LN and BA. However, since the first evidence of farm-based settlements in South-Eastern Norway were excavated in the early 2000s, the known number of buildings dated to LN and BA has increased considerably.
A recent aggregation of the settlement material, mainly through reviewing unpublished excavation and survey reports, have resulted in a database of a little over 100 buildings from South-Eastern Norway. Based on this material, this paper has a two-folded purpose. Firstly, through in-depth analysis of the placement of the settlement material in GIS (overlay), the paper will present some preliminary results scaling the settlements’ location type, placement, patterns and (likely) subsistence strategies. Secondly, based on these observations, an evaluation whether these settlements are results of elite authorities or cooperative polities will be undertaken, seeking to explore (overarching) interaction networks and examine the dynamics of organizational variability within human groups over time.

Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age agricultural developments in the Oslo Fjord area, Norway.
Vis sammendrag
Like in most other parts of northwest Europe the transition to the Late Neolithic (c.2350 BC) was a time with large-scale cultural and economic changes in the Oslo Fjord area. A significant part of this watershed was the final breakthrough of farming. Over the last decades, scholars have strongly argued that these changes were initiated by a northward migration of agro-pastoral people.
For long it has been a lack of data from the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age farming societies in the Oslo Fjord area, and therefore also an absence of detailed information that can be used to study the outcome of the Late Neolithic transition in the region. However, recent archaeological excavations have provided data that bring nuances to the developments in the early farming communities. As we will argue, this could point towards a more complex development trajectory than hitherto stated.
Drawing from cases studies and aggregated data from the region, our aim is to provide a better understanding of the agricultural developments in the aftermath of the Late Neolithic revolution. With two newly excavated complex settlements at Løveskogen and Opstad as vantage points, as well as by implementing the historical process prior to the Late Neolithic transition, we seek to demonstrate how farming societies gradually and in (balanced?) steps adapted to their new environment in the Oslo Fjord region.

The Sea and Late Neolithic/Bronze Age transformations.
Vis sammendrag
Den tidligste metalltiden i Norge innledes langs norskekysten. Gjennom sen-neolitikum og bronsealderen (2350-500 f.Kr.) er den materielle kulturen langs kysten bemerkelsesverdig homogen mens uttrykkene for politisk hierarki varierer. Selv om nye politiske institusjoner, teknologier (metallurgi og båtbygging), gårdsbasert jordbruk (korn og tamdyr) og maritim reise er introdusert gjennom hele regionen, så er uttrykkene etter bronsealdereliten kun funnet stedvis langs kysten. Fire regioner – Lista, Jæren, Karmøy og Sunnmøre – er brukt for å utforske etableringen og den tidlige rollen til maritime praksis i de kystnære strøkene. Vi argumenterer for at maktuttrykket og den materielle rikdommen, som konsentreres til disse fire regioner, er basert på kontroll over flaskehalser, seilingsled, båttrekk og havner langs viktige maritime ferdselsårer.

De dekorerte Mjeltehaughellene - et klokkebegeruttrykk?
Vis sammendrag
Mjeltehaugen er et gåtefullt og enestående gravfunn i norsk forhistorie, og den monumentale haugen er sentralt plassert langs skipsleden i Vest-Norge. Den har inneholdt en eller flere rikt dekorerte gravkister bestående av båtfigurer og geometriske bånd, og dekoren virker å representere en blanding av lokale eller regionale ristningstradisjoner med kulturpåvirkning langveis fra. Det har blant annet blitt hevdet at båtfigurene trolig tilhører den tidlige utviklingen av bronsealderbåtene, mens det har blitt påpekt at de geometriske båndene har tilsynelatende likheter med dekor typisk for klokkebegerkulturen. Det er resultatene fra undersøkelser av disse dekorerte gravhellene jeg vil legge frem.
Gjennom komparative analyser av sammenlignbare mønster satt i et handlingsteoretisk rammeverk skal jeg vise hvordan dekoren er et uttrykk for sosial identitet, der stil fungerer som et aktivt kommunikasjonsverktøy. Målet er å teste ut om det er mulig å identifisere kulturhistoriske forbindelser i de dekorerte Mjeltehaughellene, som forhåpentligvis ikke bare bidra i diskusjonen om, men også i etableringen av den kontinentale klokkebegerkulturens tilstedeværelse i Skandinavia.
