Thank You
I have a hard time finding more exact dates for "domarringar" in
Sweden than "iron age" on the web. The only thing I found with a
(very) quick google search was this page that says 400-600 AD for
Blomsholm's in Bohuslän. I guess that this dating isn't very certain
either, but is it totally impossible that the culture stream went the
other way regarding these i. e. Poland > Sweden?
Hi!
KE Sahlström writes in Fornvännen 1942 that the Domarringar in
Västergötland and Bohuslän are from 400-500 A.D.
However the Domarringar in Gotland are probably much older, some could be
from the Bronze age according to professor Erik Nylén whom I just spoke
with on the phone. He even indicates that the Gotlandic domarringar might
be older than the ones in northern Poland along the Baltic.
