“…Her grave furnishing draws a heterogeneous picture of long-distance contacts into different directions (cf. Axboe, 2004;Hansen, 2004;Koch, 1998). A golden bracteate, a single-sided gold medal worn as jewellery, is often assumed to exhibit Nordic-Scandinavian influence (cf.…”

Residential changes of people during the Migration Period are crucial for archaeological research. Within an extensive study of the migration of the Langobards, strontium isotope analysis was carried out on tooth enamel taken from 48 burials from the Thuringian cemeteries of Rathewitz and Obermöllern (Burgenlandkreis, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany), which date to the late 5 th-mid 6 th century. Modern vegetation and water samples provided detailed information about the isotopic composition of the biologically available strontium of geological units in the area. Although the rich furnishing of the burials provides evidence for contacts with many different regions, only one individual (7.1 %) in Rathewitz and three (12.5 %) in Obermöllern are isotopically nonlocal to the sites. These individuals were buried among the locals and their graves were similarly equipped. In contrast, many nonlocal grave goods were found with isotopically local individuals, often in combination with local items or pieces indicating several different source areas. This suggests the existence of strong interregional ties among the members of the local elites. The cemeteries cannot overall be associated with newly arriving groups; rather, they resulted from a change of funeral customs of the indigenous population from cremation to inhumations or small-scale changes of the burial places. They reflect individual residential changes rather than large-scale movements of groups.

“…The mature woman in Grave 20 was buried one generation later, in the second third of the 6 th century (cf. Axboe, 2004). Two bow fibulae with biting heads oriented downwards are typical Thuringian brooches (Bemmann, 2008;Koch, 1977).…”

“…Aspects of Late Iron Age myths have been documented to live on through a similarly long time. The myths of the god Týr, whose hand was bitten off by the wolf Fenris, can be identified on numerous Migration period bracteates from Scandinavia and are written down as a pagan myth in thirteenth-century Christian Iceland (Axboe 2004; Hedeager 2003; 2011). Thus it is an example of oral history living on over 800 years concurrently in this part of Europe.…”

The paper explores a group of graves in which the past was used actively in Viking Age eastern Norway. Studying the use of the past in the past was introduced in British landscape archaeology of the 1990s, but a reassessment and a renewed relevance of the theme may now be observed due to the rise of materiality studies and the affective turn within archaeology. Through an investigation of the apparently insignificant kerbstones on a number of Viking Age burial mounds in Eastern Norway, and their links to specific Roman period mounds and graves, the paper explores how time and the past were perceived in the Viking Age. This further opens potential for examining connections between the use of the past and identities and self-perceptions in a Viking Age society. The analysis also includes a movement away from understanding reuse merely as a means of power. The overall ambition is to demonstrate the relevance of studies of the past in the past in archaeology today.

“…No doubt, the similarity in form and composition is convincing (Andrén 1991, Axboe 1991). However, a closer look at the figures of the A-, B-and C-bracteates (Mackeprang 1952, Axboe 2004 indicates that their iconography is anchored in a substantially different world of ideas to the Roman (e.g. Hauck 1985Hauck -1989Hauck , 1991.…”
