| description | This is a story about a special place – a small hill near Falkenberg, Halland, southwest Sweden (fig. 1). We came to know this hill, Smörkull, through a study in which we sought to answer questions about the deposition places of Bronze Age metalwork hoards – why were certain places chosen for deposition? What could landscape contexts tell us about these hoards’ functions? A summary of that project’s results is discussed elsewhere (Skoglund et al. 2024); in this paper, we aim to present a detailed story of a single site where a golden bowl and a sword dating to Montelius’ Period 4 were found in the 1850s. This single site exemplifies the results of the wider study. |
