Human and animal subsistence in northern Iberia during the Late Chalcolithic-Bronze Age
Integration of fatty acid ratios analysis in archaeological research on Icelandic pottery from the Middle Ages
At the world's edge
Objectives A multi‐isotope study was conducted on individuals buried at Skriðuklaustur monastery (AD 1493–1554) to investigate their geographic origins and dietary composition. Comparative material from individuals excavated from Skeljastaðir, an inland farm site was also analyzed. Materials and methods Bone collagen was extracted from 50 humans (Skriðuklaustur and Skeljastaðir) and 25 animals (Skriðuklaustur) and analyzed for δ 13 C, δ 15 N, and…
Hidden dangers? Investigating the impact of volcanic eruptions and skeletal fluorosis in medieval Iceland
Volcanic emissions are known to be a serious source of pollution to humans and animals. This study aimed to examine the possible health burden of fluoride (F) exposure from volcanic eruptions in the past. Osteological analyses were performed on 186 skeletons from seven sites across Iceland with the aim of identifying skeletal changes potentially associated with osteofluorosis. Additionally, ion selective electrode (ISE) was used to investigate po…
SEM analysis of an archaeological hair sample from East-Iceland and comparative samples from nine modern-day species of mammals from the region
Volcanoes, medicine, and monasticism
This study aimed to evaluate the possible use of mercury as a medical treatment at the medieval monastic hospital Skriðuklaustur (ad1494-1554) in eastern Iceland. The individuals excavated from Skriðuklaustur exhibited a wide range of pathological conditions, including the only skeletal evidence of venereal syphilis in Iceland. Skeletal remains from the Skeljastaðir cemetery (ca.ad1000-1104) in southern Iceland were also analysed in light of the …
