Bracteates

One of the most common reasons quadruped, somewhat sitting on his huge back without a body like a horse with a human head. We call them "C bracteates. "Man on the lips often affects the horse's ear, according to an interpretation of the scene of the collapsed health Balder Odinn in his role as horse shows this idea. Comes to us through Merseburg spells.
Bracteates are very good, but I really looked at them for their own interest is not. Because of their general ideas about archaeological practice more, and there was also a personal reason.
Archaeology of the books that had the most impact on my thinking about inom Metodproblem järnålderns konsthistoria essay, "Iron Age art history studies the problem of methodology" is Mats Malmer 1963 collection. A main point argued that it is learned that any statement that while some cases are well defined and clear -. For example, when an archaeologist assigned to different types of source material to analyze a more important part and typological seriation, mainly used by archaeologists to find sites in chronological order of steps. One of the tools of the book's central case study establishes the theoretical basis, where Malmer shows how he thinks things will chronology bracteates as gold is concerned.
Since the 60s, many archaeologists believed that the ideas are sound in theory Malmer, and it has been applied successfully in other studies, however, yet there is something wrong with your time bracteate. Since the late 70's, Danish Morten aXbo scientific inquiry as a central line with your time bracteates study. I have known since 1999 that the results are not compatible with aXbo Malmer, even using computer-aided methodology Malmer update. And since then, I wanted to know why.
I aXbo and Malmer, both very good, much like my younger colleagues are supported, and I have great respect for them as researchers. Malmer really my number one hero is archeology. I really need to know what was wrong.
