https://researchdata.se/en/catalogue Search results en This dataset contains a 3D model of a wooden gun bed (lavett), which served as the support for a wrought-iron breech-loading swivel gun (skerpentine). The bed is carved from a square oak beam with a hemispherical recess along the upper side that formed a channel for the gun barrel. A hole through the middle of the beam was mounted an iron fork, allowing the gun to be trained and elevated. The artefact comes from an underwater archaeological investigation carried out in 2002 by Kalmar County Museum at the shipwreck Gribshunden at St. Ekön (Ekösund), south of Saxemara in the Ronneby archipelago, Blekinge, Sweden. The investigation focused on documenting and salvaging loose finds at risk of looting. The archaeological activities including localisation, identification, measurement, documentation of loose finds, and recovery of the material. The assemblage from this campaign included a capstan and nine gun carriages, which carried three styles of breech-loading wrought-iron guns. In the Blekinge Museum catalogue this object is registered as Blm 28314:6 (object number 28314, sub-number 6). It is classified as an archaeological find (jordfynd) and weapon (vapen) and is assigned to the medieval period. The manufacturing period is given as the 1400s before 1495 and the use period as the 1400s up to 1495. The historical country context is listed as Denmark. The carriage is made of wood (oak), with recorded dimensions of 2570 mm in length, 200 mm in width, and 200 mm in height. Find circumstances and provenance are documented under RAÄ number Ronneby 728. The find was made in 2002 at St. Ekön (Ekösund) in Saxemara, Ronneby municipality, Blekinge county, Sweden, and the object was acquired by Blekinge Museum in the same year. The site is registered as a shipwreck find spot within the municipality of Ronneby, Blekinge, Sweden. The find context is described as a marine archaeological investigation in 2002. The object has been conserved by impregnation with PEG 400 and freeze-drying under vacuum. A dendrochronological sample was taken from this carriage, but the result for this specific piece was inconclusive.

A database of 593 brooches from all of Scandinavia was studied and interpreted by typology, chronology, function, social significance, technological characteristics, production sites, interregional variation and ideological connotations. Unique brooches are described and discussed. Brooches from Uppåkra are also described and discussed, against the background of the new results. The study then puts forward two new seriation chronologies for Vendel Period female graves on Bornholm and in Sweden. Purpose: The aim of the study is to offer new perspectives on domed oblong brooches of Vendel period Scandinavia and transitional types which survived into the earliest Viking period. The new perspectives are based on a larger and more recent material base and a widened geographic scope, covering all of Scandinavia. The dataset consists of a table with information on domed oblong brooches from Vendel period and early Viking period Scandinavia. The data includes inventory numbers, provenance, measurements, type and context. The data is downloadable in -xls and .csv format. The download package also contains the study article and a codebook. The dataset consists of 1267 photographs of the domed oblong brooches studied by the author. Formats include JPEG and TIFF.

The main purpose of this data collection was to create a basis for a study of fragmented bronze objects in the so-called ‘scrap hoards’ from this period. The research focus in the dataset is on describing the incomplete objects in these depositions, and to determine/estimate to what degree the fragmentation is due to prehistoric actions (broken during the Bronze Age) or if it might be recent. The questions in focus for this study was which object types were fragmented versus not fragmented, and, to what degree the original object type could be recognized from the fragments. This study is presented in a scientific paper in English. This pilot study is part of a larger project run by Anna Sörman, studying the circulation, use and deposition of fragmented bronze objects, based on studies in north-western France and southern Scandinavia. The dataset gathers information about the contents of these hoards which have previously been published by Andreas Oldeberg (1927, 1928, 1929, 1934), and the images and details about the finds available in the inventory catalogue (online) of the Swedish History Museum. In one case (the Härnevi hoard), the finds have also been studied first-hand by Anna Sörman, in the storage of the Swedish History Museum. As the focus of the project is on the metalwork objects, the few finds of other materials present in some of these hoards (stone, ceramics, organic materials) have not been included in the dataset. Two source critical factors should be particularly highlighted regarding the quality of the data. Firstly, these hoards, found between years 1853-1926, have all been collected by private individuals. They have been found during agricultural labour and various groundworks. This means that they should not be expected to be complete, as for example small fragments are likely to have been overlooked. Secondly, the information in the dataset is mainly from secondary sources (with Härnevi as the only exception), which means that renewed primary studies of the material – with special focus on breaks and fragments – would probably lead to certain revisions. Finally it should also be pointed out that, in some cases, it has not been possible to evaluate the probable age of the fracture. This might be due to a lack of information in the secondary sources (published articles and inventory catalogue), or that the object and the patina of the break is too ambigious to be determined. These cases of uncertainty are shown in the dataset under the column “Old break(s)” which is given as either "y" (yes), "n" (no), "y?" (yes?), "n?" (no?), or "?" (indeterminable). The information in the dataset is structured under the following columns: 1. No = Serial number in the table 2. Study no = Unique number for each object in this study, featuring the number of the hoard (1-5) followed by the number of the item in the hoard, where fragments from the same object are designated by the same number, followed by a serial sub-number. Study no "1.3.1" and "1.3.2." are thus two pieces of the third object listed from hoard 1 (Bräckan). For objects which have been broken in modern times, the fragments have not been given individual sub-numbers. 3. Object type = Functional category of the listed object, such as "Sword" or "Socketed axehead". Objects whose function/type has not been possible to determine are listed as "Unidentified". 4. Complete (yes/no) = Defines the object as complete or incomplete. 5. Old break(s) = Defines if the break(s) on incomplete objects are judged as ancient or recent, based on information in the documentation (often notes about patina, or accidental breaks at the time of discovery etc.) 6. >50% = An estimation of the proportion of the full object (more than 50% or not) represented by an incomplete object piece. >50% y/n is only filled in for objects with ancient breaks. It has not always been possible to estimate/determine and this information it is therefore not consistently provided. 7. Other damages = Notes of any other signs of damage on the object, such as "Bent" or "Crushed". 8. Comments about the fragmentation = Additional, descriptive information about break/fracture(s). 9. Likely to be deliberately fragmented = Interpretative classification based on an assessment of the compiled information about the incomplete objects (patina on break, fragment piece, other damages etc.). Note that not all objects that has "y" at Ancient break has "x" under the column Likely to be deliberately fragmented. Some cases have been excluded, either because they have been judged as too uncertain, or because older breaks can be interpreted as use-damage rather than intentional fragmentation. 10. Site = The place-name of the find site of the hoard to which the item belongs. 11. Parish = The name of the parish where the hoard find was made. 12. Museum no = Inventory number under which the object is stored. 13. Find year = The year of discovery for the hoard to which the item belongs. 14. Comments about date/type = Any further information about the dating or typological determination of the specific object. 15. General comment = Any further comments about the item. 16. Weight (g.) = The weight (in grams) of individual items (only for the Härnevi hoard).

The data consist of CTscan image stacks and subsequent working files (i.e. segmentation, visualisation files, STLs and 3D PDF files). 1. CT-scans datasets At the Natural History Museum in London, the material was CT-scanned with a Nikon HMX ST 225 system, Nikon Metrology, Leuven, Belgium, with a tungsten reflection target. Detailed settings were adjusted for each specimen and are given in associated article (see "Material and Methods"). The specimen required stitching performed with an in-house NHM script written in Octave. In Oslo, at the Natural History Museum, University of Oslo, the scanning was carried out with a Nikon Metrology XT H 225 ST microfocus CT instrument at the Natural History Museum, University of Oslo, at 220 kV, 1245 µA, 4444 projections, 2 frames per projection,1 mm tin filter, Fast CT protocol (not minimising ring artefacts) and a voxel size of 23.9 µm. Detailed settings are given in in associated article. 2. Drishti and Mimics files (segmentation) 3. STL files 4. 3D pdfs In Mimics, each individual structure corresponding to a mask was used to generate a high quality 3D object, itself transformed into an STL file. Each .stl file was then imported into Materialise 3-matic (v. 15.0) and Blender (v. 2.82). In 3matic, the following operations were applied to each .stl file to increase manageability while preserving accuracy: reduce number of triangles (geometrical error 0.1, preservation of surface contours) and smoothing (factor 0.1). A 3D pdf file was finally generated and can be open in Adobe Acrobat. for the following specimens a. NHMUK PV P 59686 Rhizodontida indet.
