This volume is devoted to Cemetery 118, the excavated remains of building Group 7 that underlay it, and a single grave from Cemetery 115 which was investigated under rescue conditions. Two-thirds of the burials on Cemetery 118 were excavated in 1976-1978; the remainder were left uninvestigated when the Helgö Project was closed down in autumn 1978. Julie Melin has here collated the excavation records to present all the available information about the cemetery and the settlement remains, and the single grave from Cemetery 115. Berit Sigvallius has done all the osteological work on the cemeteries and settlement, and in addition presents a comparison of the osteology from all previously published cemeteries on Helgö.

This volume is primarily devoted to archaeological discussion and scientific analysis of objects relating to Early Medieval metalworking at Helgö. It deals with the finds from the Building Group 3 workshop, same of which have already been printed, in various contexts, in Excavations at Helgö IV, V:1, VII-XI and XV. In addition, Excavations at Helgö XVII presents a new survey of all the building groups and cemeteries on Helgö. This is the first time that a true picture of the topography of the island, the relationship between its archaeological monuments and their correct location in accordance with the national grid has been achieved. The craftsmen in the Building Group 3 workshop worked mainly in non-ferrous metals. Raw materials and finished and finished and unfinished products in gold, silver/white metal and copper alloy are here described and classified archaeologically. Same artefacts of copper alloy have also been scientifically analysed, with evaluation of analyses executed in the 1970s giving an added depth to that investigation. Crucibles and ceramic and stone cupels, 'metallurgical clay packages', and other items essential to non-ferrous metal working have been treated both archaeologically and scientifically, with a great deal of new and exciting information about the processes involved in manufacturing metal objects being reported. Ironworking, another craft practised in the workshop, has been discussed in earlier publications, but modern scientific methods have been employed to supplement this work and enhance our knowledge of the skill of the Helgö smiths. Stone is not usually considered an essential part of metalworking equipment, but the detailed archaeological attention given to the lithic material from Helgö has revealed a surprising variety of stone tool-types used in the production of metal artefacts. This groundbreaking study has opened up an entirely new field of research, and is supplemented in this volume by articles on the uses of flint in metal-using societies and on the information that can be obtained by geological investigations. To put Helgö in context, the partly contemporaneous metal workshop of Bäckby is here published fully for the first time. Its products are compared, both archaeologically and scientifically, with those from Helgö, and conclusions drawn about their similarities and differences. A definitive catalogue of the non-ferrous metal objects round in Building Group 3 and a list of the remaining unpublished finds appear as appendixes, as does a concordance equating excavation find numbers with their registration numbers in the current SHM catalogue.

In this the eighteenth and last volume in the series Excavations at Helgö, thirteen authors present the latest conclusions and add some new approaches to the results of the excavations carried out between 1954 and 1978 at Helgö. A clarification of the grid system used in the excavations and of the final numbering system for the finds is provided in an appendix that applies to all the volumes. This is preceded by new syntheses of the following topics: the cultic purpose of the main buildings and the enclosure that crowns the stone hillock alongside them; the comparable use of bread in cult sites from classical antiquity; the chronology of the metalwork produced from the Migration-period moulds; the identification of fragments of a third C-bracteate; the vast assemblage of shattered glass vessels dating from the Roman Iron Age to the early Viking period; the Irish inlaid glass stud; the rich collection of medical equipment; and, probably the last offering made on the island, a single German coin from the 11th century. Finally, an annotated list of publications on this intriguing site shows the extent of interest it has aroused among scholars.
