Ett nytt välmatat nummer av META är här! Vi började redigera detta i en tid av vad vi upplevde som fred. Genom åren har de politiska gränserna spelat mindre och mindre roll och den historiska arkeologin har i takt med detta expanderat och överskridit fler och fler gränser. Rysslands anfall mot Ukraina har ändrat detta. Attacken kan ses som ett veritabelt kulturarvskrig vid sidan om krigets övriga vansinne. Våra kollegor i Ukraina kämpar dagligen med att säkra museisamlingar och skydda fornlämningar och kulturarv. I den internationella solidaritetsrörelsen ingår den historiska arkeologin. Svenska arkeologers mångåriga samarbete med ukrainska kollegor vittnar om detta.
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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
