Denne metode, i samspil med det formulerede princip indenfor feministisk arkæologi om en upartisk tilgang til arkæologisk materiale og køn, bliver anvendt komparativt på traditionelle fortolkninger af udvalgte fund, for at undersøge og diskutere udviklingen indenfor tilgangen til arkæologisk materiale. århundrede, sammenholdt med argumenter for og diskussioner af eksempler fra vikingetidens materielkultur, som sætter kvinder i relation til våben, argumenterer dette speciale for den tilgang til objekter som er eksemplificeret i den social-antropologiske metode ’social-biografi’. Gennem en kritisk diskussion af relevant arkæologisk og historisk forskningslitteratur, primært fra sidste del af det 21. Særligt indenfor studier af vikingetiden har områder vedrørende kvinder og børn været negligeret og traditionelt set tolket udelukkende gennem deres relation til det mandlige køn, hvilket har resulteret i en meget ensidig tilgang til samt tolkning af arkæologisk materiale. Dansk: Studier af kvinder indenfor både historie og arkæologi har traditionelt set været et forsømt område, da begge disse akademiske discipliner har været præget af en androcentrisk tilgang til køn. ![]() Only through a continuous reevaluation and critical interpretation of the ever growing mass of archaeological material concerning the Viking Age, is it possible to approach a more accurate and reflected definition of the relations between women and weapons, free of traditional and biased auto-interpretations of gender and material culture. ![]() Combined this material act as strong evidence of Viking Age weapons having not only been objects reserved for men, and it stresses the problems related to gender-automatic interpretations of Viking Age graves where weapons act as a gender marker, having resulted in a false representation of the genders within the archaeological registrations of weapon graves. The archaeological material, which in this thesis acts as primary sources to the relation between Viking Age women and weapons, is in the form of depictions from the Oseberg tapestry as well as in the form of Viking Age jewelry of women both with and without weapons examples of female weapon graves from Denmark and Norway and the inclusion of a child weapon grave from Norway. This method, in relation to the principal of unbiased and equal approach to the study of archaeological material and gender as formulated within the field of feminist archaeology, is applied comparatively onto traditional interpretations of selected archaeological finds, in order to examine and discuss the development within the approach to archaeological material. Through a critical discussion of relevant archaeological and historical academic publications from primarily the late 21st century, compared to arguments for and discussions of examples of Viking Age material culture, putting women in relation to weapons, this thesis argues the approach to objects of material culture exemplified in the social-Anthropological method of 'social biography'. Especially within the field of Viking Age studies women and children has been neglected and perceived mostly through their relation to the male gender having resulted in a quite biased approach to, and interpretation of, archaeological material. English: The study of women within the fields of history and archaeology has traditionally been somewhat neglected as both of these academic disciplines have been dominated by an androcentric approach to the study of the genders.
