Abstract

”Forest peasants in archaeology and roman ethnography”: This essay deals with peasants in marginal areas, especially the prehistoric forest peasants in the Southern Swedish uplands on the Scandinavian peninsula. They were tribal settlers without written language in the periphery of the Roman world around 0-200 AD and are still in the periphery of archaeological interest. Rome-centric ethnographical observations like Tacitus´ Germania from 98 AD are compared with new archaeological data about everyday life, farming, forest related production and ritual in this most northern part of Germania. From the author´s point of view
the Roman stories about remote, foreign tribes were not less true than the modern mass medial stories about the periphery of the Anglo-American world today.
