2. 1. Palaeodiet and Infant Feeding in Coastal Arctic Settlements : Insights from stable isotope analysis of bone and dentine collagen and amino acids

   Author : Alison Harris; Gunilla Eriksson; Kerstin Lidén; Michelle Alexander; Tamsin O'Connell; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Arctic; palaeodiet; Inuit; Yup’ik; infant feeding; domestic dogs; amino acids; collagen; stable isotopes; maintenance activities; gender; arkeologi med inriktning mot laborativ arkeologi; Scientific Archaeology;

   Abstract : This dissertation investigates the day-to-day activities that sustained human societies in the arctic and subarctic environments of North America and Siberia over the past 1500 years. Maintenance activities, such as food preparation, childcare, and the care of domestic animals, are commonly inflected by social identity and can provide insight into the experience of gender among archaeological and historical populations.

4. 2. Fishing for ways to thrive : Integrating zooarchaeology to understand subsistence strategies and their implications among Early and Middle Mesolithic southern Scandinavian foragers

   Author : Adam Boethius; Historisk osteologi; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Early Holocene; Mesolithic; Palaeodiet; Zooarchaeology; Scandinavia; Subsistence; Fish; Forager;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate and deduce the varied lifeways of Early Holocene foragers in southern Scandinavia. By taking an interdisciplinary approach, zooarchaeological data have been applied to the study of different aspects of Early and Middle Mesolithic subsistence, in order to frame a discussion concerning our current understanding of culture and life in early north European societies.

5. 3. Dealing With Reservoir Effects in Human and Faunal Skeletal Remains : Understanding the radiocarbon dating of aquatic samples

   Author : Jack Dury; Gunilla Eriksson; Kerstin Lidén; Peter Jordan; Johannes van der Plicht; Philippa Ascough; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Radiocarbon Dating; Reservoir Effects; Bayesian; Modelling; Palaeodiet; Stable Isotopes; Skeletal Remains; Collagen; arkeologi med inriktning mot laborativ arkeologi; Scientific Archaeology;

   Abstract : Archaeology relies on the ordering of past events to study cultural developments. This has traditionally been achieved by looking at the stratigraphic depths of materials relative to one another. In this way, chronologies of past technological progressions and stylistic changes can be built. READ MORE

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
