  2. 1. Neolithic Fisheries : Osteoarchaeology of Fish Remains in the Baltic Sea Region

    Author : Carina Olson; Jan Storå; Karin LImburg; Jan Ekman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Neolithic fisheries; local and regional ecosystems; species variation; burnt and unburnt bones; representativeness; contextual quantification; fishing technology; spatial patterns; Archaeology subjects; Arkeologiämnen; osteoarkeologi; Osteoarchaeology;

    Abstract : The variety of fish species found at the archaeological sites indicates the exploitation of local and regional ecosystems. The focus of the fisheries varies from site to site. READ MORE

  4. 2. Tools and technology : Lithic technological analysis of Neolithic axe morphology

    Author : Deborah Olausson; Arkeologi; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Lithic technology; Neolithic; flint axes; stone axes; practical trials; style;

    Abstract : Through practical experiments, edge-wear analysis, and the study of archaeological collections, the dissertation explores the complex relationship between style and function in a specific class of artifacts: the Neolithic axe. The results of the three-part approach described above, when applied for instance to thin-butted axes from the Funnel Beaker Culture, indicated that there was no clear-cut cass of unusable prestige axes, but rather that axe length more likely reflected practical rather than stylistic considerations.

  6. 4. Consuming and communicating identities : Dietary diversity and interaction in Middle Neolithic Sweden

    Author : Elin Fornander; Kerstin Lidén; Per Andersson; Liv Nilsson Stutz; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Middle Neolithic; Neolithisation; Sweden; Baltic Sea; Funnel Beaker Culture; Pitted Ware Culture; Battle Axe Culture; megaliths; isotopes; δ13C; δ15N; δ34S; 87Sr 86Sr; radiocarbon dating; palaeodiet; mobility; interaction; identity; ethnicity; Archaeology; Arkeologi; Archaeological Science; laborativ arkeologi;

    Abstract : Isotope analyses on human and faunal skeletal remains from different Swedish Neolithic archaeological contexts are here applied as a means to reconstruct dietary strategies and mobility patterns. The chronological emphasis is on the Middle Neolithic period, and radiocarbon dating constitutes another central focus. READ MORE

  7. 5. Migration in Prehistory : DNA and stable isotope analyses of Swedish skeletal material

    Author : Anna Linderholm; Kerstin Lidén; Oliver Craig; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Migration; ancient DNA; stable isotopes; δ13C; δ15N; δ34S; mtDNA; lactose tolerance; Neolithic; Pitted Ware culture; Funnel Beaker culture; Vikings; Öland; Rössberga; Birka; Björned; Archaeology; Arkeologi; Archaeological Science; laborativ arkeologi;

    Abstract : The main aim of this thesis is to show how scientific methods may be used to look at migration in prehistory on the basis of archaeological material. The individuals examined represent the period 4 000 BC to 1 000 AD and have their geographical origins in various parts of Sweden.Ancient DNA analysis is employed in three cases. READ MORE
