Chests, Caskets & Boxes |
---|

More Furniture & Storage pages
Although the terms chest, casket and box are not well defined, here we have used whatever term is commonly applied to the item in the associated published literature. Petersen defines the difference between caskets and chests by stating that chests should be large, with strikingly large carrying-rings, hinges and keys. [PETERSEN 1951]:p.532 Arwidsson & Thorberg class anything under 1m in length as a casket (Kasten), anything less than 25cm in diameter or length as a box (Buechse). [ARWIDSSON 1989]:p.113
Summary by Area
Denmark
In Hedeby 10 boxes were found in 9 graves, of these only 2 were male graves. The majority of caskets from Hedeby were in female chamber graves. Eisenschmidt also references to another piece of her published works where she states that metal covered caskets are known from 50-60 graves in the area of Old Denmark. [ARENTS & EISENSCHMIDT 2010A]:p.166-168
Sweden
Arwidsson and Thorberg have classified the boxes from Birka into 4 groups:
Birka [ARWIDSSON 1989]:p.114
Group A: Metal bands and / or nails - no lock
Group B: Metal bands and / or nails - with a lock
Group C: Covered in metal with a lock and a domed lid
Group D: Round boxs or tins made from wood or iron and covered in copper-alloy.
