Infant’s thermal balance and the evolution of the human breast – a proof-of-concept study
The distinct size and shape of breasts in women is a uniquely human trait. This trait has no conclusive explanation as it is not a requirement for milk production. Additionally, breasts are already enlarged at puberty, which is usually long before the first pregnancy. We hypothesized that the perennially enlarged human breasts were potentially developed to support infant’s thermal balance by providing increased warming surface in skin-to-skin con…
Early childhood diets in medieval and Post-Medieval Pälkäne, Finland
Early childhood nutrition is crucial for long-term health, yet little is known about breastfeeding and weaning practices in medieval and post-medieval Finland. This study investigates early childhood dietary histories of six individuals buried at St. Michael's Church in Palkane (13th-19th centuries CE) using stable isotope ẟ13C and ẟ15N) analyses of dentin collagen from first permanent molars. These isotopic profiles reveal that all individuals w…

Kahdesti haudattu majuri Toll
Artikkeli käsittelee Vihdissä Kourlan kartanon mailla sijaitsevaa Toll-suvun hautakappelia. Kappelin rakennutti leski Catharina Charlotta Swedenmarck miehellensä majuri Carl Fredrik Tollille (1718–1784) tämän poismenon jälkeen vuosina 1785–86. Rakennuttaminen tapahtui hautaustapojen murrosaikana, jolloin kirkkoon ja kirkkomaalle hautaaminen oli juuri kielletty, mutta aatelisto halusi edelleen tulla haudatuksi säätynsä arvoisesti. Tämän johdosta m…

Improving the temporal representativity of dentin serial samples in stable isotope studies
The stable isotope composition of dental tissues allows for the exploration of childhood diet. With traditional methods, the accuracy of dating the samples to gain precise information on the schedule of dietary changes has however been rather poor. The more recent methodological advances have enhanced the dating of samples but generally require expensive, complicated technologies. Not only assigning correct developmental periods to each dentin sa…
Breastfeeding in Late Medieval to Early Modern Iin Hamina, Finland, According to δ13C and δ15N Analyses of Archaeological Dentin
This article explores infant feeding customs among the population of Iin Hamina, Ostrobothnia. The carbon (δ 13 C) and nitrogen (δ 15 N) stable isotope ratios are measured in the collagen of dentin segments of permanent first molars (M1) of individuals (n = 6) excavated from a local, discontinued churchyard dating from late medieval times to early modernity. A little later, in the mid-18th century, high infant mortality in regions such as the pro…
Unusual Death and Memorialization
Most cultures and societies have their own customs and traditions of treating their dead. In the past, some deceased received a burial that deviated from tradition. The reasons for unusual burial could result from reasons such as outbreaks of epidemics or wars, or from premature births, distinctive social status, or disability. Authors present a selection of cases addressing the issue of unusual deaths, burials, or ways to remember the deceased. …
Breastfeeding in low-income families of the turn of the 19th-century town of Rauma, Southwestern Finland, according to stable isotope analyses of archaeological teeth
We explore breastfeeding practices among low-income families in the late 18th to early 19th-century town of Rauma in Southwestern Finland. The breastfeeding practices in the area of the current nation of Finland (at the time belonging to first Sweden and then Russia) had been under debate. While in certain regions artificial infant feeding was common and was linked to high infant mortality, breastfeeding was also known to be practiced in certain …
Notes on early childhood diets in early modern Oulu, Finland, based on the stable isotope case studies of archeological dentin
In mid‐18th‐century Sweden, the newly enhanced census records revealed higher‐than‐expected infant mortality rates in certain regions of the kingdom. This convinced contemporary elite men of common women deliberately refusing to breastfeed out of vanity and lack of care. One of the worst regions in terms of infant mortality was the province of Ostrobothnia, located in the area of what is now Finland. To explore the allegations, we measured the ca…
Possible case of partial postmortem fetal extrusion
We report a plausible case of partial postmortem fetal extrusion dating to the turn of the 19th century. A fetal skull protruded from the obstetric canal of the partially mummified remains of an adult woman buried in a private burial chapel in Vihti, South Finland. The fetal size implies the mother having died during the early third trimester of her pregnancy. The cause of death was not obvious from the limited external examination of her remains…
Improving anatomical stature estimation method. The relationship between living stature and intervertebral disc thickness
Anatomical stature estimation methods reconstruct stature for skeletal specimens by adding up the heights of skeletal elements contributing to stature. In addition, these estimations factor in a certain amount of soft tissue known as "soft tissue correction". Our study focuses on the relationship between living stature and one of the major soft tissue contributors to stature: the intervertebral disc thickness/height. The purpose of this study was…
Nikolaus Rungius
Vicar Nikolaus Rungius’s (ca. 1560–1629) mummified remains have been the subject of research that has provided a wide variety of information on his life. This article examines the ways Rungius’s health and lifestyle highlight his status as a vicar, and this status is visible in his burial and funerary clothing. He was a relatively large man for his time. CT scans even include indications of certain conditions related to being overweight. Likewise…
Temperature and Humidity in the Base-floors of Three Northern Finnish Churches Containing 17th–19th-century Burials
Natural mummification occurs in various favorable conditions. Cold environments have produced mummified human remains in northern Finland. These remains buried under the church floors mummified naturally probably through a process resembling freeze-drying. This chapter explores the conditions that led to the mummification of dozens and potentially hundreds of human remains. To conduct our study, we installed logging temperature and humidity measu…
Suspected tuberculosis in an early 17th-century northern Finnish mummy—A computed tomography case study
Computed tomography of mummified human remains in old Finnish churches, a case study
Mummified human remains have been preserved in the cool, well-ventilated crypts of old Finnish churches, which were popular burial sites among the elite of the early modern period. Here, the authors present the results of a computed tomography study of the remains of an early 17th-century vicar of Keminmaa. They examined the preservation of his remains and made several pathological findings; the causes of the latter possibly had a severe impact o…
Reading celebrities/narrating selves
Celebrities feature prominently in the media and popular cultural landscape of ‘tween’-aged girls. While there has been much speculation about the potential influence of celebrities such as Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens on ‘tween’ girls, particularly with respect to ‘growing up too fast’ and becoming ‘sexy too soon’, research with tweens is lacking. This paper draws on material from a research project that explores the ways in which some pretee…
Perfect skin', 'pretty skinny
The relationship between idealised femininity images in the media and girls' experiences of self and body has long been of interest to feminist scholars. Over recent years, this interest has organised around sexualised post-feminist media in which the female body must be worked upon towards norms of perfection, slimness and also ‘sexiness’. Approaches to researching relationships between girls' embodiment and media images within this post-feminis…
Reading the 'Sexy Oldie
In recent years there has been a cultural-scientific shift in the ways in which ageing and sexuality are represented. This has been most notable in the popular media where the predominant portrayal of asexual old age is increasingly accompanied by newer images of the 'sexy oldie'. While this shift counters conventional stereotypes of the asexual and disengaged elderly, the implications for seniors of such a change have not yet been adequately res…
Sex for life'? Men's counter-stories on 'erectile dysfunction', male sexuality and ageing
Discourse on male sexuality in mid-to-later life has exploded in recent years (Gullette 1998). Attention to this topic has been spurred by the advent of (highly profitable) sexuopharmaceutical 'solutions' to erectile changes affecting older men. 'Success' stories abound in the media and in medical literature related to the restoration of faulty erections and ailing sex lives through drugs such as Viagra (sildenafil citrate), Uprima (apomorphine) …
Viagra stories
Hard Sell, Soft Sell
Viagra (known generically as sildenafil citrate) was released in New Zealand in 1998. Direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertisements represented Viagra as a panacea for men's sexual difficulties. The Research Medicines Industry Association of New Zealand (2000) claims that the Viagra DTC campaign removed the stigma associated with erectile dysfunction. However, in this paper we analyse participants' views that the advertisements also transform cultural …
The downside of Viagra
While much is known about the efficacy and safety of sexuopharmaceuticals used by men for the treatment of erectile difficulties, there remains a dearth of knowledge on the perspectives and experiences of their sexual partners. In particular, few studies have focused on the possible detrimental effects for women of Viagra use within a heterosexual relationship. In this paper we report on a qualitative study based in New Zealand, which involved in…
