Hallan dos anillos de cuello de 2.500 años de antigüedad cerca de Norrköping

Dos anillos de cuello de la Edad del Bronce han sido descubiertos en una tumba en Marby, a las afueras de Norrköping. El hallazgo se produjo durante una investigación arqueológica previa a la construcción de nuevas viviendas.

Los dos anillos de cuello, de unos 2.500 años de antigüedad, se conocen como wendelringar y están fabricados en bronce fundido. Fueron encontrados juntos en una estructura de piedra con enterramientos, lo que los arqueólogos describen como inusual o quizás único.

Alf Ericsson de Arkeologerna, parte de los Museos de Historia de Suecia, señala que el equipo no esperaba un hallazgo de este tipo. Se cree que los anillos fueron colocados como ofrendas votivas y eran un símbolo de estatus utilizado mayoritariamente por mujeres.

La investigación de la zona al este de Norrköping, que también incluye grabados rupestres y restos de asentamientos de finales de la Edad del Bronce, está en curso debido a que allí se construirán nuevas viviendas. También se encontraron restos óseos humanos incinerados en una de las tumbas, tanto en una urna como en fosas más pequeñas en el suelo.

A man in his mid-40s has been remanded in custody on probable cause for the unsolved double murder at a farm in Brattås outside Härnösand in the summer of 2005. The arrest was enabled by DNA-based genealogy research following a new law change last year. Prosecutor Hanna Flordal confirms the man's DNA matches the trace from the crime scene.

Researchers at Uppsala University have used ancient DNA to reveal that Stone Age burials in Sweden involved extended family members beyond immediate relatives. Analysis of shared graves at the Ajvide site on Gotland shows second- and third-degree kin were often buried together, suggesting strong community ties. The findings challenge assumptions about simple family structures in hunter-gatherer societies 5,500 years ago.
