2. 1. Our Bones, who art contaminated : Glues, strontium isotopes, and mobility in early Swedish Christians

   Author : Crista Adelle Wathen; Kerstin Lidén; Sven Isaksson; Christophe Snoeck; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Strontium isotopes; contamination; conservation; glues; Christianity; mobility; early Christians; Sweden; Varnhem; Västerhus; bones; teeth; Scientific Archaeology; arkeologi med inriktning mot laborativ arkeologi;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to build upon previous research into contamination and its effects on isotopes by focusing on the strontium isotopic ratio (87Sr/86Sr), which is used in mobility studies to study the movements of past humans and animals and to build past economic trading networks. Contamination is a broad topic, and in the scope of this thesis, it concerns the introduction of contaminants from the soil after interment and the post-excavation preservation efforts. READ MORE

4. 2. Stability of bacterial DNA in relation to microbial detection in teeth

   Author : Malin Brundin; Ulf Sjögren; Anders Johansson; David Figdor; Inge Fristad; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell-bound DNA; cell-death; dentine; DNA binding affinity; DNA decomposition; DNA preservation; extracellular DNA; hydroxyapatite; PCR; polymerase chain reaction; odontologi; Odontology;

   Abstract : The fate of DNA from dead cells is an important issue when interpreting results from root canal infections analysed by the PCR technique. DNA from dead bacterial cells is known to be detectable long time after cell death and its stability is dependent on many different factors. READ MORE

5. 3. Bovine Teeth in Age Assessment, from Medieval Cattle to Belgian Blue : Methodology, Possibilities and Limitations

   Author : Sabine Sten; Ebba During; Sven Lindskog; Morten Meldgaard; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Archaeology subjects; Arkeologiämnen; Arkeologi Osteologi Tänder Nötkreatur Medeltid Åldersbedömning Metod; Historical osteology;

   Abstract : The overall aim of the present thesis was to develop and characterise an age assessment method based on incremental lines in dental cementum using contemporary bovine teeth and teeth from archaeological faunal assemblages. The investigations also included two other age assessment methods: tooth wear pattern and macroscopic dental measurements. READ MORE

6. 4. Stability of aligned maxillary anterior teeth after orthodontic treatment : amount of changes with different retention methods and without retention

   Author : Sasan Naraghi; Vaska Vandevska-Radunovich; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Well-aligned anterior teeth are the major reason for the patients seeking orthodontic treatment, and keeping teeth aligned and stable afterwards is a goal for the orthodontist and the patient. Relapse after treatment is a common problem, and it is defined as when teeth go back to their previous positions. READ MORE

7. 5. Mended by masticates : A study of archaeogenetic proxies of migration, settlement and health in North Eurasian Mesolithic

   Author : Natalija Kashuba; Anders Kaliff; Mattias Jakobsson; Torun Zachrisson; Tiina Maria Mattila; Lehti Saag; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Archaeogenetics; Mesolithic population genetics; human identity; post-LGM hunter-gatherer societies; aDNA; metagenomics; masticates pitch resin; molecular paleopathology; Archaeology; Arkeologi; Biology with Specialisation in Human Evolution and Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot människans evolution och genetik;

   Abstract : A joint archaeogenetic perspective integrates diverse lines of evidence from archaeology and paleogenetics to advance our understanding of human prehistory. In this thesis I contribute to the corpus of archaeogenetic data by producing and analysing ancient genomic data from osseous and masticated material. READ MORE
