Extensive underwater excavations in the Little Belt revealed a settlement dating from the Late Mesolithic. Due to the exceptional conditions for preservation, especially of organic material, the in-vestigations have contributed ground-breaking new information on the Meso-lithic population’s material culture and equipment, subsistence strategies, settle-ment form and social organisation.

Hvert af disse fundsteder behandles udførligt i et katalog.

I bogen berettes levende om de forskellige aspekter af vikingernes

dagligdag – om livet på gårdene, kontakten med omverdenen og

om gravskikken. Bogen er rigt illustreret.

Lithic technology in metal using societiesBerit Valentin Eriksen (ed.)

This book presents 17 contributions to an international symposium held in Lisbon in 2006. The aim of the symposium was to discuss events associated with the first great technological upheaval – when flint and other types of stone were replaced by metal. And why, despite this, there were still societies around the world where flint craftsmanship thrived long after metal technology had become established.


Fribrødre ÅA late 11th century ship-handling site on Falster

Jan Skamby Madsen & Lutz Klassen

The discovery of large quantities of ship components revealed that wooden ships were repaired along the banks of the river Fribrødre Å on Falster at the end of the 11th century. The evidence suggests that this activity related to three invasion expeditions launched against Eastern Holstein between 1090 and 1093 by the Slav prince Heinrich from exile in Denmark, with the support of his uncle, the Danish king Olaf Hunger. Pub-lished in conjunction with Moesgaard Muse-um and the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde.

Else Roesdahl, Søren M. Sindbæk & Anne Pedersen (eds.)

Together with other Danish ring fortress-es, such as Trelleborg and Fyrkat, Aggers-borg played a central role in the Viking Age. The fortress occupied a strategically important position and offered broad views across the Limfjord. This is an ac-count of the extensive excavations of the fortress and the settlement that preceded it. Based on the findings, an insight is given into Danish history during this pe-riod of great change and upheaval, and into Denmark’s political and religious links with the rest of Europe at this time.

ge settlement and fortress

Aggersborg is the largest of the Danish circular fortresses of the Viking Age. Built by the king, Harald Bluetooth, in the second half of the tenth century, it was strategically placed on the shore of the Limfjord. Together with other Danish fortifications it was intended to play a major role in the politics of northern Europe.

The fortress overlaid a Viking-Age rural settlement which was destroyed when the fortress was constructed. The well-preserved remains of build-ings and the many artefacts excavated here provide a unique view of the physical and social structure of this settlement and of its material culture.

The book gives an account of the extensive excavations by the National Museum of Denmark of both the fortress and the rural settlement and sets their structures and the objects found within the wider context of the Viking Age. It also sheds new light on Denmark’s history at a time of major cultural and political challenges.

Medieval mendicant monasteries in DenmarkThe building culture of the Franciscans and Dominicans

Morten Larsen

The mendicant orders arose in the 13th century and achieved great significance for the development of medieval mona-sticism. These orders were an integral part of Danish society for three centu-ries, and by the end of the Middle Ages there were mendicant monasteries in most Danish market towns – often in the form of extravagant monastic comple-xes. These complexes, and the history of their buildings, are the subject of this book which, with a point of departure in standing monuments and archaeological investigations, examines the building culture of the mendicant orders.

Sea-Level Change in Mesolithic southern ScandinaviaPeter Moe Astrup

As the ice began to melt about 20,000 years ago, a sustained rise in sea level took place that lasted for millennia. This resulted in the settlements of people who had lived in the former coastal areas gradually becoming inundated by the sea. As a result, our perception of the Maglemose culture is exclusively based on finds from settlements that were located in the interior, far away from the coast at that time. In this book, the author investigates the role played by the coast and coastal resour-ces in the lives of people in Maglemose times, and how they adapted to the changing sea level.

In the Middle Ages, Mariager Abbey was the largest buildings complex in Jutland.

Using eviden-ce from written sources, archaeological excavations and old drawings, the book presents a picture of this labyrinthine Bridgettine Abbey.

The Maussolleion at Halikarnassos Reports of the Danish Archaeological Expedition to Bodrum

Between 1966 and 1977, Professor Kristian Jeppesen of Aarhus University re-excavated the Mausoleum at Halicarnassos, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, located in present-day Bodrum, Southwest Turkey. The results of these investigations are presented in seven volumes.

1. The Sacrificial Deposit Kristian Jeppesen, Flemming Højlund & Kim Aaris-Sørensen In front of the entrance to King Mausolos’ grave chamber a

votive layer was discovered containing the remains of scores of oxen, calves, sheep/goats, lambs, hens, doves and hen’s eggs. The animals had been butchered according to very specific rites, which have been reconstructed on the basis of studies of cut- and chopping marks on the bones, in conjunction with written accounts of the sacrificial rituals.


2. The Written Sources and their Archaeological Background Kristian Jeppesen & Anthony Luttrell A presentation and discussion of the ancient Greek and Latin

sources describing the Mausoleum at Halicarnassos as it was in the first centuries following its construction. The mausoleum’s later history and its use as a stone quarry by the crusaders who built a fortress at Bodrum are also discussed.

3. The Maussolleion Terrace and Accessory Structures 1-2 Poul Pedersen One of the main results of the Danish excavations was the dis-

covery of the terrace on which the mausoleum was construct-ed and which formed part of the town plan of the ancient Halicarnassos. Comparative studies of coeval terrace structures from Southwest Turkey are also presented.

This book is the primary publication of this temple and an additional later temple, togeth-er with their altars. A chapter and two appendices discuss the so-called Ikaros inscription found here, literary testi-monia and other epigraphical finds from the site.
