Gamla

Uppsala

is

one

of

the

most

complex

archaeologial

monuments

in

Scandinavia.

The

finds

are

sufficient

for

it

to

be

considered

a

central

ce

during

the

entire

Late

Iron

Age.

The

mounds,

boat‐graves,

traces

of

hall(s)

and

the

wall

to

the

north

indicate

the

presence

of

a

ruling

stratum

at

least

from

the

5th

or

the

6th

century.

These

finds,

together

with

the

phosphate

values

at

the

Eastern

Mound

and

the

Middle

Mound,

may

also

indicate

ritual

activity.

Archeological

ysis

shows

the

site

has

been

settled

se

the

Roman

period.

It

is

an

important

site

from

at

least

the

Migration

Period

up

to

the

Middle

Ages,

though

it

may

have

experienced

some

troughs

during

the

9th

century,

after

the

hall

on

the

southern

teau

was

burnt

down.

Uppsala

was

never

a

town

during

the

pre‐Christian

period.

But

it

can

be

regarded

as

a

central

ce

as

early

as

the

migration

period.

Theories

of

central

ces

first

developed

in

geography,

and

in

the

1970s

and

1980s

gained

ground

in

archaeology

too.

These

ces

typically

have

had

many

functions

in

relation

to

the

surrounding

regions.

They

may

have

been

administrative,

judicial

and

military

centers.

They

were

frequently

established

along

lines

of

communication.

In

all

likelihood

they

were

religious

centers

with

cultic

buildings,

e.g

banqueting

halls,

outdoor

cult
