Major changes in the archaeological material in Rogaland, southwestern Norway, from the mid-6th century AD have been interpreted as a population decline and an economic recession connected to the 6th century crisis. This event is known from historical and archaeological sources in continental Europe and has recently gained much attention in the Scandinavian archaeological debate. Sudden climate change, pandemic and collapsed trading networks likely induced new conditions, which would have had a major impact on the society in southwestern Norway. This paper uses plant-macrofossil data, supplemented by zooarchaeological data, and radiocarbon dates, from two archaeological sites with different prerequisites and trajectories, to reconstruct agricultural development. Based on this reconstruction, it explores agricultural resilience in connection with the 6th century crisis and investigates the merits of various agricultural strategies and adaptations. The macrofossil data reveals a change in crop composition, with a temporary introduction of rye at one of the sites, suggesting an adjustment to new circumstances. The studied sites display different subsistence strategies based on local conditions, and the data suggests complete abandonment of the site that probably depended on trade, while the people living at the more self-sufficient site were able to adapt their agriculture and survive the crisis.

6 世纪危机期间的农业复原力:利用挪威西南部 Hove-Sørbø 和 Forsandmoen 的植物大化石数据探索策略和适应

从公元 6 世纪中叶开始,挪威西南部罗加兰考古材料的重大变化解释为与公元 6 世纪有关的人口下降和经济衰退世纪危机。这一事件从欧洲大陆的历史和考古资料中得知,最近在斯堪的纳维亚考古辩论中引起了广泛关注。突然的气候变化、大流行和崩溃的贸易网络​​可能会引发新的情况,这将对挪威西南部的社会产生重大影响。本文使用植物大化石数据,辅以动物考古数据和放射性碳年代,从两个具有不同先决条件和轨迹的考古遗址重建农业发展。在此重建的基础上,探索与“六一”相关的农业韧性世纪危机并调查各种农业战略和适应措施的优点。大型化石数据揭示了作物组成的变化,其中一个地点暂时引入了黑麦,表明对新情况的调整。研究的地点根据当地条件展示了不同的生存策略,数据表明完全放弃了可能依赖贸易的地点,而生活在更自给自足的地点的人们能够适应他们的农业并在危机中幸存下来。
