Blekinge's Augerum Manor: Pottery Hints at Centuries-Old Slavic Trade

Augerum Manor, situated in Karlskrona Municipality, Blekinge County, Sweden, traces back to the 18th century. The property, initially constructed in 1720, is still owned by the family who acquired it in 1855. Circumstantial evidence points to an architectural and design interest at Augerum. Adjacent to the Lyckebyån river, the Augerum Church was built between 1819 and 1822 within the manor grounds. The pottery uncovered at Augerum spans thousands of years, but the styles found here notably deviate from those prevalent in Slavic regions or even former Kingdom of Denmark territories, suggesting a connection to nearby Swedish regions such as Småland and Öland.
