On Öland changes in grave goods occurred around the Birth of Christ.
Before that, the burial custom was characterized by the very poorly
equipped graves, where grave goods included dress accessories in the
form of only one or two fibulae. This change can be related to the
horizon of the triangular fibula, although not its initial phase.
From this period on, both grave goods and grave structure are
directly related to the gender of the deceased. On Öland this new
burial custom results in the deceased being provided either with
weapons and dress equipment or with tool kits, dress equipment and
personal ornaments. It is necessary to discuss the chronology of
these items since the change in burial custom is related to the
dating of the items found in the graves.

The type of fibula found in grave No. 10 from Övra Ålebäck is
generally dated to the early part of the Late Pre-Roman Iron Age.
However the fibula from Övra Ålebäck, as most of the Scandinavian
triangular fibulae, has a head that widens at the bow. According to
Almgren this is a late trait. A similarly widened head can be seen on
some types of fibulae from the Early Roman Iron Age, like the
profiled fibula. Werner points to the typological connection between
the triangular fibula and the 'Norischen Fibeln', the latter being
widespread throughtout the Eastern Celtic area in the Late Pre-Roman
Period. Even Werner fixed the date of the triangular fibula to the
transition between Pre-Roman and Early Roman Iron Age.
