Norwegian Face-Urns:
Local Context and Interregional Contacts

http://www.mikroarkeologi.se/publications/ch10_Malin.pdf

ABSTRACT Face-urns are containers for burnt human bones and are predominantly dated to the Late
Bronze Age in Northern Europe. Mainly found in Norway, Denmark, Northern Germany, Poland and
Etruria, a few have also been located in Sweden. Though the use of face-urns spans a large area, their
distribution shows that they tend to concentrate in specific regions. Despite the relatively high
concentrations of face urns in these specific regions, their local distribution, form, and deposition suggest
that they have been used for a small percentage of the population.

Face-urns from Poland and Etruria
have been associated with the aristocracy or an elite.
Looking at their form and deposition, Norwegian
face-urns show a striking resemblance to face-urns from the Legnica area in Poland. This article
examines the local context of the Norwegian face-urns, the connection to the continent, and why a faceurn
was chosen as a container for the remains of certain people.
