Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Minnesota, 1993.

In this thesis I use an interdisciplinary approach to study the relationship between the native Norwegian society of the Viking Age and the Middle Ages up to the Black Death (c. AD 800-1050 and 1050-1350 respectively), on the one hand, and the native Pictish society and Norse colonizers of Orkney and Shetland on the other. This involves the application of social theory, particularly Anthony Giddens's structuration theory and John Barrett's concept of fields of discourse, to the available archaeological and written evidence. These concepts provide a justification for using the house sites in Norway and the Northern Isles from this period as a key into questions of social relations and interaction. House layout does change slowly over time, for example in the placement of the hearth, benches and high seat, supporting and supported by concomitant changes in political structure and social organization (e.g. increasing segmentation and bureaucratization, decreased importance of kinship bonds).Subjects--Topical Terms:

This involves the application of social theory, particularly Anthony Giddens's structuration theory and John Barrett's concept of fields of discourse, to the available archaeological and written evidence. These concepts provide a justification for using the house sites in Norway and the Northern Isles from this period as a key into questions of social relations and interaction. House layout does change slowly over time, for example in the placement of the hearth, benches and high seat, supporting and supported by concomitant changes in political structure and social organization (e.g. increasing segmentation and bureaucratization, decreased importance of kinship bonds).
520 $a The evidence presented in this thesis indicates that there was not a marked time-space edge where contradictions could build up between Norse and Pictish society, and that interaction between the Norse and native Picts in the Northern Isles was more extensive and complicated than previously believed. Here, a common class identity among the elites may have been a more important structuring relation than ethnic identity. In contrast, ethnic identity was an important structuring relation between the Norse and the Saami in Northern Norway where there was a distinct time-space edge between two structurally different societies. In Norse Greenland little interaction is evident between the Norse and Inuit populations, perhaps because the conservative Norse colony lay on two time-spaces edges, one with the Inuit and the other with High Medieval Norwegian society. In resisting the demands of the Church, Norse Greenland may have erected very successful barriers to even beneficial social change, leading to the eventual disappearance of the colony. These comparisons demonstrate the importance of context, of the specific historical chain of events which play out in different ways in different circumstances, rather than the search for a single overarching explanation.
