<p><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">At an archaeo</span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">logical excavation in central Lund in the early 1970s a very unusual find was retrieved: a </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">piece of lead with several imprints from a coin die. The motif and the runic inscription </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">on the lead plate indicate that the die derives from Sven Estridsen’s minting during his </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">late years as king of Denmark. The find is quite unique. Early coin dies and imprints </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">from coin dies are rare finds in the area that now constitutes Sweden. Despite this, the </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">coin die imprint from early Lund has only been touched on briefly in archaeological lite</span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">rature. In this article a compilation of what is known about the imprint will be presented. </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">Three issues in particular will be highlighted: Why were coins with runic inscriptions </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">minted during Sven Estridsen’s time as king? Who manufactured coins in Lund during </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">the second half of the 11th century? Where in Lund did the production take place during </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">this period? To answer these questions, I will compile findings from various articles and </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">sources. In this way, I will also be able to follow how the state of knowledge has changed </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">over time.</span></p>Ingrid Gustin

https://publicera.kb.se/meta/article/view/15178
<p>As early as the late Middle Ages, the tiled stove was used as a source of heating, albeit only in the most prestigioussettings. Late medieval stove tiles have been found in very few places in Stockholm and mainly in high-status environments. The recent excavations at Slussen have uncoveredseveral new finds of medieval stove tiles.During the 15th century, exclusive tiles of the same type was produced in Central Europe. However, 19th century finds of matrices, indicate that there may have been a domestic production of exclusive tiles as early as the end of the 15th century. The earliest written record of a potter in Stockholm dates to 1479, and thus a local production of stove tiles is probable as well.However, whether the late medieval tiles were imported or made locally from imported matrices has not yet been established. A recent ICP-analysis of the clay in medieval stove tiles found at Slussen has now ascertained their provenance to both Stockholm andUppsala. The results can further contribute to the discussion on trade and crafts exchange in Hanseatic Europe.</p>Philip Tonemar

<p><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">The church in Österfärnebo </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">parish, Gästrikland province, was consecrated in 1827. It was erected close to the the </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">old church, built in the 13th century, which was subsequently torn down. A few small </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">pieces of land, allotted to the first priest’s support, and known from medieval sources, </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">are interpreted as proof of the presence of an even older church. The churches were built </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">on the site of a pre-Christian cultic centre, indicated by a place-name containing ”Vi” </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">(sanctuary), and a pagan cemetery.

The patron saint Barbara </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">whose attribute, the tower, still appears on the parish seal.

<p><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">Between October 2019 and June 2022, an urban archaeological excavation was conduc</span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">ted as part of a large infrastructure project called Varbergstunneln in Varberg, county </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">Halland on the Swedish west coast. The construction site affects an area that used to be </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">Varberg’s coastal zone before the railway and the harbor expansion. </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">This is the first time such a large scale urban archaeological project is done in this </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">town. Although only a few patches of the long excavation area contained archaeological </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">remains, some of the finds are quite amazing. </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">In 2021 and 2022 the remains of six shipwrecks in total were excavated. The two olde</span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">st ships are of the type cog, a medieval merchant vessel closely connected to the Hanseatic </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">League but was common in northern Europe 1150–1450. About thirty cogs in total have </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">been found in Europe and seven out of those are in Sweden. Until now. We have added </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">two more during the excavation. The wrecks were situated 200 meters west from the </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">medieval town Getakärr. The cogs are an important piece of the puzzle in understanding </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">the towns trading connections with Europe during the 14th century.</span></p>Elisabet SchagerAnders GutehallStaffan von Arbin

https://publicera.kb.se/meta/article/view/15196
<p>Between 2019 and 2021 an archaeological research project was conducted with the aim to study the early medieval brick church of Edsleskog. The results showed that it was constructed as a Romanesque cruciform church, dating at least to the beginning of the 13th century. In this article the focus is the architectural design and history of the building. By comparative examples and historical documentation, it was possible to get a better understanding of how the church was designed. A few changes were made to the church through different building phases. The northern semitransept and a sacristy or chapel on the northern side of the choir were added later to the building, during the first half of the 13th century. A tower or a ridge turret were likely built during the late Middle Ages. Its position or type of construction has not been possible to determine. In 1568 the church burned down and was only rebuilt in reduced size.</p>Anton LazaridesAnna BeckmanChristian Mühlenbock

https://publicera.kb.se/meta/article/view/15199
<p>The first Nordic Meeting on Stratigraphy took place in Stockholm in 1996. The tenthsession in Helsinki 2015 opened for reflections from the earlier meetings. What was theoriginal intention when we started the conference? Which topics has been discussed overtime, what can we say about geographical and chronological issues? Is it possible to detectnew ways of thinking concerning stratigraphy and contextual archaeology? These arequestions that will be addressed in this paper.</p>Mathias BäckLena Beronius Jörpeland

https://publicera.kb.se/meta/article/view/15202
<p>Although finds of nailsand fittings are common from urban, early modern archaeological sites, they are rarelyused in the interpretations of the excavated buildings. These finds are often poorly do-cumented and they seldom get preserved once the excavation report is completed. Thismeans that the finds in many cases cannot be used in future research projects.In this article, we discuss the potential of these types of artefacts in research on earlymodern buildings and house construction. We furthermore discuss what would be requi-red in the handling of the material in order for it to be used as a general resource.</p>Linda QviströmMattias HallgrenJokum Lind JensenCatarina KarlssonMagnus SjöholmGöran Tagesson
