“…Later subdivisions partitioned the Early NBA into six periods. However, this system has been argued to be difficult to practice (Hornstrup et al 2012;Zimmermann 1988), and hence this paper adopts the original division based on Montelius (1885). Only two of these defined periods consider the tutuli object group: NBA II, where Montelius (1885) place type A, C and D, and NBA III, where he placed type E. However, the reality is seldom clear-cut and hence overlaps are expected.…”

“…Given the lasting impact of Montelius (1885) on the periodisation of the Bronze Age (Bergerbrant 2007;Gräslund 1987;Hornstrup et al 2012;Kneisel 2013;Kristiansen 2013;Vandkilde 1996;Vandkilde et al 1996), the framework's temporal scope, and the explicit focus on tutuli, this classificatory system is perhaps the best starting point, and most applicable method, for analysing the shape of larger tutulus datasets over multiple regions and periods. While so, the classificatory success is unknown; and it is unknown how idealised shapes account for the nature of variation as witnessed in the archaeological record.…”

In this paper, we examine the morphological diversity of the tutuli object group from the earlier Nordic Bronze Age (henceforth NBA) – an often over-looked object group despite their abundance specially, temporally and contextually. Currently, only a few studies of the morphological diversity of tutuli have been published, and these consist primarily of decade-old-typologies. The objective of this of this paper is first and foremost methodological, as we examine two research questions – concerning classification and periodisation – through a novel two-dimensional geometric morphometric (henceforth GMM) framework and subsequent multivariate analysis. Inherently we examine whether specific shapes conform to the classificatory of the Montelius typology, and whether a temporal relationship exists between types and shapes.

“…Because of the placement in an urn, this type of cremated burial has a greater similarity to Late Nordic Bronze Age funerary practices than to other contemporary funerary arrangements. Another cremation grave from the same mound at Egshvile (chronologically speaking dated from an only slightly later part of the Early Nordic Bronze Age) also contained a cremation which seems to be that of a female (Egshvile THY 2554, Urn N5) according to the associated grave goods [42]. A radiocarbon date puts this individual very near to the subadults from Urn N6 (AAR 8827, 3049 +/-27 BP at 1-sigma confidence level [42]).…”

Into the fire: Investigating the introduction of cremation to Nordic Bronze Age Denmark: A comparative study between different regions applying strontium isotope analyses and archaeological methods

Changes in funerary practices are key to the understanding of social transformations of past societies. Over the course of the Nordic Bronze Age, funerary practices changed from inhumation to cremation. The aim of this study is to shed light on this fundamental change through a cross-examination of archaeometric provenance data and archaeological discussions of the context and layouts of early cremation graves. To this end, we conducted 19 new provenance analyses of strontium isotopes from Early Nordic Bronze age contexts in Thisted County and Zealand and Late Bronze Age contexts from Thisted County and Vesthimmerland (Denmark). These data are subsequently compared with data from other extant relevant studies, including those from Late Bronze Age Fraugde on the Danish island of Fyn. Overall, the variations within our provenience data suggest that the integration and establishment of cremation may not have had a one-to-one relationship with in-migration to Nordic Bronze Age Denmark. Moreover, there seems to be no single blanket scenario which dictated the uptake of cremation as a practice within this part of Southern Scandinavia. By addressing habitus in relation to the deposition of cremations as juxtaposed with these provenance data¸ we hypothesize several potential pathways for the uptake of cremation as a new cultural practice within the Danish Nordic Bronze Age and suggest that this may have been a highly individual process, whose tempo may have been dictated by the specificities of the region(s) concerned.
