What's the use of theory, anyway?

Show summary
The need for a joint Nordic platform for archaeological theory has recently been reflected upon on the pages of this
journal. Is there a need for a Nordic TAG? Are there issues that pertain to a particularly Nordic theoretical debate? And
if so, why is it that this seemingly ideal venue tends towards hibernation every now and then? These questions will be
discussed here, though not fully answered. Most importantly, however, with this short comment we are happy to
inform you that the Nordic TAG will be returning this coming spring. Hosted jointly by the Department of Archaeology,
Conservation and History and the Museum of Cultural History, both part of the University of Oslo, the aim is set for
lively conversations and constructive arguments in late April 2022. We hope to see you there!

Micro-regionality. A deep-time analysis of the elite settlement at Avaldsnes and its surrounding landscapes AD 200-1000.

Show summary
Avaldsnes, on the island of Karmøy in southwest Norway is the point of departure in this thesis. The richly furnished Flaghaug burial demonstrates the socio-political centrality of Avaldsnes in the Early Iron Age. In the late Viking and early Middle ages, centrality is testified in saga literature and documentary sources referring to Avaldsnes as a royal farm. The characteristics of Avaldsnes as an elite settlement was further investigated through excavations in 2011-12 by the Avaldsnes Royal Manor project led by Professor Dagfinn Skre.
The recent excavation data form the basis for a discussion of a detailed chronology of Avaldsnes through a collection of thematic articles targeting various aspects of the settlement. Combined, these articles investigate how power was articulated through material culture in the period AD 200 — 1000.Furthermore, the formation of sub-regional groups and networks were addressed through a study of burials with brooches in the surrounding landscapes. While previous research on socio-political structures and identity negotiated through material culture identified mainly regional or super-regional structures, this thesis introduces an intra-regional scale. The spatial and temporal structure of the analysis resulted in the establishment of a sub-regional diachrony. Interrelation between these changing sub-regions over time was addressed, and related to processes of sociopolitical centralisation/fragmentation and emerging kingship.
By bringing together the newly established chronology of Avaldsnes and the trajectories of the sub-regions in the surrounding landscapes, this thesis provides Avaldsnes with a new socio-political context and enables a discussion ofthe link between burial practices and socio-political structure. It is argued that burials in different sub-regions communicate different principles and ideals and that these differences or local particularities become a form of politicised identity.
