Missing Interpretations Natural And Residual Finds In Estonian Archaeological Collections Kristiina Johanson by Kristiina Johanson 9789949779239, 9949779235 instant download after payment.

The doctoral dissertation „Missing interpretations. Natural and residual finds in Estonian archaeological collections“ is concentrated on numerous selection of finds in Estonian archaeological collections that have remained uninterpreted or have attached only one-sided explanations. The source material of the thesis includes two kinds of finds – natural, like fossils and pebbles, and human-made, like stone artefacts (stone axes, adzes, flint arrowheads) found from chronologically later contexts. The latter have mostly been interpreted as residual finds. The analysed finds have undoubtedly had different meanings and functions. Although the large part of interpretations are destined to remain speculations, the find context of several finds or use-wear on them enabled to show that part of fossils, pebbles and earlier stone artefacts have deliberately been brought to the later settlement sites, hillforts or cemeteries. Pebbles could have been used for burnishing items of various materials, as potboilers to heat water, ammunition stones or playing pieces. At the same time we know from written sources, ethnographical analogues as well as folklore records that different pebbles, fossils and stone items have been used in apotropaic and curing magical practices.
