Baksidestext:
Death Rituals in South-East Scandinavia AD 800–1000 is an archaeological study of burials and cemeteries datable to the “Viking Age” in the present South Scandinavian provinces of Scania, Blekinge, Halland, Bornholm, Öland and south Småland. While burials of the time studied here have previously been thought of as components of a similar pan-Scandinavian Viking Age culture with more or less the same traditions everywhere, the main argument of this work is that mortuary rituals of this time actually followed the specific and rather different cultural norms of a whole number of smaller and larger “ritual systems”. These ritual systems were in some cases specific to small and geographically bounded settlement districts and in other cases to larger areas made up of several geographical regions.
Death Rituals in South-East Scandinavia AD 800–1000 makes up the second part of Decolonizing the Viking Age, which is a dissertation in archaeology. While being an independent study of death rituals, the book at the same time creates the empirical base for archaeological discussions in Decolonizing the Viking Age 1.
