What happened in the hinterland? : A batch study of early bucket-shaped pots from the 4th and 5th centuries AD in Southwest Norway.
(2023) In Primitive tider: arkeologisk tidsskrift p.23-34- Abstract
- Rogaland in southwest Norway was a core production area for bucket-shaped pottery throughout the ca. 200-year period spanned by these finds. Largely thanks to Elna Siv Kristoffersen's work we have a well-developed understanding of the final century of this characteristic Migration Period find: certain ceramic craft networks rose to prominence, culminating in workshop milieux intimately tied to the formation of central places like those in Jæren, Rogaland from around AD 450/60, eventually making bucket-shaped pots alongside Style I metalwork. This inventive cross-craft focus notwithstanding, we know less about the first century of production. A recent study suggests that the rise... (More)
