In the 19th and early 20th centuries there were numerous non-proprietors paupers in the Swedish countryside such as crofters, boarders and inhabitants of rural slums.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur gick det till när det svenska riket expanderade norrut och införlivade Hälsingland? Denna bok är uppställd som en generalhypotes över denna långt utdragna process, som tar sin utgångspunkt i den samhälleliga kollaps som är skönjbar under 500-talet. De inhemska maktstrukturer som gradvis byggdes upp efteråt kom under medeltidens inledande århundraden att få känna på In which way did the power structures of central Sweden expand into the territories north of the forest Ödmården during the Middle Ages? This text reads like a general hypothesis for this process, which attempts to incorporate all relevant elements in the Medieval landscape of power. The study area chosen is the province of Hälsingland. The chronological take-off is the 6th century AD, when settle

Det arkeologiska perspektivets tidsdjup ger kunskap om förändringar av människans livsval. De arkeologiska föremålen betraktas som ett slags tidsmarkörer som materialiserar en tids idéer om formgivning, tillverkning och konsumtion av produkter och hur dessa kan ingå i en föreställningsvärld om tid. Vår egen tids föreställning om tid påverkar ytligt tolkningen av forntida material.

Man’s relationship to the physical surroundings is viewed from cultural and social perspectives, using the materials of long-term archaeology. The study also includes a contemporary dimension.

Time, Archaeology and Art – the Pillar of Culture in Lund.
