  1. 1. Late use of chipped stone tools: A case study of Viking age and Medieval material from middle Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Arkeologi

    Författare :Mikael Lindahl; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Viking age; Middle age; Lithics analysis; Use-wear analysis; Affordance; Entanglement; Värmland; Mälardalen; Skramle; Birka; Scrapers; Fur-production; trade; History and Archaeology;

    Sammanfattning : Stone tools define earlier prehistory but the extent of their usage in later periods remains uncertain, as the archaeological community tends to focus on trademark materials from respective time periods. Accordingly, usage of chipped stone such as quartz and flint in later periods, tends to be ignored or regarded as residual from earlier Stone age activities, resulting in that valuable knowledge is lost.

  3. 2. Secrets of the Spearhead : Developing Continuum Mechanical Simulations and Organic Residue Analysis for the Study of Scandinavian Flint Spearhead Functionality

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Arkeologiska forskningslaboratoriet

    Författare :Fredrik Lundström; [2019]
    Nyckelord :spearhead; lithics; flint; projectile point; functionality; organic residue analysis; continuum mechanical analysis; experimental archaeology;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is a pilot study, designed to test and develop methods suitable for the study of Scandinavian flint spearhead functionality. The functionality of projectile and lithic point armament has not been studied for almost 30 years in Scandinavia. Meanwhile, methods used to analyse lithic projectiles have developed considerably.
