To graver med hest og hesteutstyr fra Tu : maktpolitiske forhold på Sørvestlandet i yngre jernalder

Abstract

This article discusses political changes in Southwest Norway in the 8th and 9th centuries. It is suggested that two male graves from this period, found at Tu in Klepp, Rogaland, and containing horse and horse equipment, are related to political changes. The author suggests that graves with horses and horse equipment belong to persons and families with significant roles in the political development of the time.
