The Emergence of Coercive Societies in Northwestern Scandinavia During the Late Neolithic–Early Bronze Age

  • Knut Ivar Austvoll EMAIL logo
From the journal Open Archaeology

Abstract

This paper discusses how coastal societies in northwestern Scandinavia were able to rise in power by strategically utilizing the natural ecology and landscape in which they were situated. From two case studies (the Norwegian regions of Lista and Tananger), it is shown that it was possible to control the flow of goods up and down the coast at certain bottlenecks but that this also created an unstable society in which conflict between neighboring groups occurred often. More specifically the paper outlines an organizational strategy that may be applicable cross-culturally.
