Description
Iron Age Myth and Materiality: An Archaeology of Scandinavia, AD 400-1000 by Lotte Hedeager explores the long-term structures of world views and ideologies in Iron Age Scandinavia. This study examines how persistent and slow-changing mythological themes were embedded in archaeological iconography, providing a unique window into the region's cultural evolution. The author argues that written narratives should not be ruled out as sources for studying the pagan past, but rather considered in conjunction with material evidence. By analyzing the relationship between textual and archaeological records, Hedeager sheds light on the complex interactions between myth, material culture, and oral tradition in Iron Age Scandinavia. This book offers a nuanced understanding of the region's cultural landscape, revealing how mythological themes were transmitted and adapted over time.
