In 2008, research into Viking Age women's dress began. It was soon established that the oval buckles, so specific to the female burial costume, disappeared at about the same time as the male costume became Christianized. The initial hypothesis was that the changes from pre-Christian to Christian society should not only be seen in the burial customs themselves, but also reflected in the change in the female burial costume. The dress became the key to an entirely new understanding of norms and rituals in pre-Christian society - a problem area that will be presented in a forthcoming book. In connection with the presentation of the project in an exhibition in the fall of 2014 at Uppsala University's Museum Gustavianum, sewn-up reconstructions and drawn illustrations with great importance for communication have been used. It is of great importance for the final book product that these presentations can be reworked and adapted to the script and its layout. Stage 2 of the project involves a couple of months of work for microscopic studies and subsequent practical reconstruction, and a couple of months of work for cartoon illustrations where photographs cannot be published. The applicant is the project manager for the manuscript work, which is expected to be completed by the end of June 2015. The ongoing research is presented on Museum Gustavianum's website.
