This article discusses political changes in Southwest Norway in the 8th and 9th centuries. It is suggested that two male graves form this period, found at Tu in Klepp, Rogaland, and containing horse and horse equipment, are related to political changes. The author suggests that graves with horses and horse equipment belong to persons and families with significant roles in the political development of the time.

The 14 articles presented in this publication represent some of the latest and most relevant research on rural settlement and farming from the Late Neolithic through the Early Medieval Period in Norway. It deals with the impact of climate change, plague and the AD 536-7 volcanic event and some of the earliest farms north of the Arctic Circle. It provides new perspectives and archaeological evidence for the Viking age farm of Norway, differences in regional settlement structures of agrarian societies, the relation between houses and graves in the Iron Age, and varying food practices as indicators of societal change.
