  2. 6. Holocene vegetation dynamics and climate changes in the Torneträsk area, northern Sweden

    Author : Lena Barnekow; Kvartärgeologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Paleobotanik; palynology; phylogeny; Palaeobotany; northern Sweden; Torneträsk; Abisko; lake-level; radiocarbon dating; forest history; Holocene; tree-line; climate; Vegetation; fylogeni; palynologi; Physical geography; geomorphology; pedology; cartography; climatology; Fysisk geografi; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to reconstruct the Holocene vegetation history and the climate changes in a subarctic area. The results are based on pollen and macrofossil records from six lakes in the Torneträsk area. The lakes are situated at altitudes between 370 and 999 m a.s. READ MORE

  4. 7. Testing palaeomagnetic and 14C based geochronological methods in the Baltic Sea

    Author : Bryan Lougheed; Kvartärgeologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Baltic Sea; coastal; geochronology; palaeomagnetic secular variation; PSV; radiocarbon; 14C; reservoir age; R t ; ΔR; salinity; δ18O; geomagnetic field; Holocene; deglacial; Fennoscandia.;

    Abstract : The Baltic Sea is a continental shelf sea that is influenced by both river runoff and marine water. The two water masses are vertically stratified in the Baltic Sea, resulting in a positive, estuarine circulation system, which has undergone changes in the past due to isostatic uplift of the Baltic basin.

  5. 8. Animals and Humans : Human-animal interaction in northern Sweden during the late glacial and postglacial time

    Author : Therese Ekholm; Sabine Sten; Carl-Gösta Ojala; Ola Magnell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Mesolithic; fauna; radiocarbon dating; northern Sweden; calcined bones; pioneers; hunter-gatherers; zooarchaeology; lithic technology; taphonomy; 8.2 k BP cold event; prey.; Archaeology; Arkeologi;

    Abstract : When the last remnant of the Weichsel glacier melted in northern Sweden, around 7000 BC, pioneer settlers entered virgin land, following their prey, which in turn followed the vegetation dispersion. Some of the settlers derived from the east and the northeast and spread from the Russian taiga, through Finland and into northern Sweden, the study area for this thesis. READ MORE

  6. 9. 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. 10. Event stratigraphy for the Last Glacial-Holocene transition in eastern middle Sweden

    Author : Jonas Björck; Michael J.C Walker; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Last Glacial-Holocene transition; event stratigraphy; eastern middle Sweden; pollen; plant macrofossils; marine calcareous fossils; microtephra; radiocarbon dating; clay varve chronology; GRIP; ice-core chronology; calendar year chronology; Preboreal oscillation; Yoldia Sea; Baltic Ice Lake; Quaternary Geology; kvartärgeologi;

    Abstract : This thesis outlines an event stratigraphy for the Last Glacial-Holocene transition in eastern middle Sweden. Events are short-lived occurrences that have left traces in the geological record and which, therefore, may be used for correlation and inter-regional comparisons. READ MORE
