Purpose:
These data were collected for an MA dissertation, in order to explore ideas of Ålandic identity through the material culture of memorialisation, as well as to test the possibilities for Nordic archaeologies of memorialisation.
The XLS file comprises a database covering all three cemeteries. The ZIP file "Database NOR MAR PAR" contains the database in three separate CSV files, one for each cemetery. The remaining ZIP files contain JPG format photographs from the cemeteries in Norrtälje, Mariehamn and Pargas respectively. These photos are downsized versions of the original pictures.
The original photographs can be ordered from SND by e-mail: request[at]snd.gu.se. Show less..
