Shards of Iron Age communications : a ceramological study of internal structure and external contacts in the Gudme-Lundeborg area, Funen during the late Roman Iron Age / Ole Stilborg ; with contributions by Siv Olsson and Hannelore Håkansson
The objective of ceramology is to describe pottery craft traditions; the potters, their production, social organisation and the use of the products. The objective of the research presented in this book is to study patterns of contacts between different, contemporary sites within a limited area through a ceramological analysis of pottery. The main sites are the settlements of Gudme and Brudager, the large urngrave cemetery of Møllegårdsmarken and the trading site at Lundeborg. The ceramological analysis contributes to the description of a complex Iron Age society where several sites played important roles seen from a pottery perspective
