Ekonomisk makt, ritualer och åkrar - centrum och periferi på Gotland under bronsåldern

Sammanfattning: On the island of Gotland in the Baltic sea there have been many findings dated to the Bronze Age. These finds consist of stray finds, hoards, graves, settlement sites and different types of monuments (ship settings, rock carvings and mounds/cairns). This thesis is an effort to put those findings in relation to each other and analyze them with the center and periphery theory. The goal is to see if different parts of Gotland's landscape have been the center of different types of activity (e. g. if one part of Gotland is rich with monuments but lack settlement sites and vice versa).
