IN THE SECOND HALF of the 19th and the early decades of the 20th centuries, an assemblage of stray finds dating to c ad 600 was collected at Åker in south-eastern Norway. The items included a cloisonné-decorated sword-belt buckle of exceptional quality, a pommel from a ring-sword, and various mounts and fittings from a shield, sword belts and hangers. In the early 1990s several metal-detected finds were made at the site, and it was clear that many of those had originally belonged to the same context as the earlier finds. This article presents and discusses the Åker assemblage on the basis of what has been added to the evidence, and of new knowledge about the site of Åker produced by archaeological excavation. The objective is to gain a better understanding of what the assemblage really represents.

Åker Assemblage - 适合国王？挪威墨洛温王朝时期宝藏新论与探讨

在 19 世纪下半叶和 20 世纪初期，在挪威东南部的 Åker 收集了一批可追溯到公元 600 年的流浪发现。这些物品包括一个品质卓越的景泰蓝装饰的剑带扣，一个环剑的鞍头，以及盾牌、剑带和衣架上的各种坐骑和配件。在 1990 年代初期，在该地点发现了几个金属探测发现，很明显，其中许多最初与早期发现属于同一背景。本文根据已添加到证据中的内容以及考古发掘产生的有关 Åker 遗址的新知识，介绍并讨论了 Åker 组合。目标是更好地理解组合真正代表什么。
