This paper discusses various memory practices and how they may have been manifested in a particular context, the famous burial from Hvidegård on Zealand in Denmark. The theoretical perspective is inspired by Jan Assmann’s thoughts about cultural memory. Assmann suggests that our memory comes in various forms, which are presented and analyzed here in relation to the Hvidegård burial. The article contains a new analysis of the content of the fascinating belt-purse from Hvidegård and an analysis of the cremated bones from this burial. A conclusion from these analyses could be that different kinds of memory practice are always interwoven. This might create both problems and opportunities for an interpretative archaeology.
