Den gudomliga hästen? Hästen i sydskandinavien under bronsåldern

Abstract: This essay is an analysis of the horse during the scandinavian bronze age, more specifically southern scandinavia with a breaking point at circa Gothenburg. The questions regard whether or not the horse was a high status animal during older to younger bronze age in the region and whether or not we can argue this based on rock carvings, horse gear and other pictorial renderings where the horse is present. The question is if we really can separate high status from religious status, and where we should go with our analysis when there has only been one person doing the framework for the entire bronze age cosmology.
