First confirmed finds of baleen whale from Iron Age Scania, Sweden, and their archaeological implications
Finds of baleen whale from Scania, Sweden, are confirmed via ZooMS analysis. • North Atlantic right whale/bowhead whale, fin whale and humpback whale are identified. • The archaeological contexts make these finds weak indicators of palaeozoological occurrence. This paper presents hitherto unknown finds of baleen whale from Iron Age Scania. Through the peptide-based technique Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS), we provide the first identi…
Development of Fagus -dominated forest in Söderåsen National Park, southern Sweden, in response to land-use changes over the past 600 years as reflected by macrofossil, pollen and dendrochronological …
Plant macrofossil and pollen records from the partially varved sediments of Lake Odensjön in southernmost Sweden provide detailed information on local forest development and land-use history within Söderåsen National Park during the past 600 years. A relatively dense forest dominated by Fagus (European beech) covered the steep talus-dominated slopes surrounding the lake during at least a century prior to c. 1550 CE, when a change towards more ope…
Storms, ships, and shovels
The Gullåkra wetland is located around 5 km south of the modern city of Lund and around 2.7 km east of the important Iron Age settlement of Uppåkra in Scania, southern Sweden. In the 1840s, a remarkable discovery was made in the wetland: a bronze lur dated to c. 1300 BCE, along with a boat and the bones of a large animal offering. As Bronze Age boats are exceedingly rare, this discovery makes the site highly significant for early Scandinavian mar…
Environmental Levels of Radiocarbon in Lund, Sweden, Prior to the Start of the European Spallation Source
The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a neutron-based research facility under construction in Lund in southern Sweden. The spallation reactions will generate not only the desired neutrons, but also many radioactive by-products, including 14 C. As part of the licensing process, and as recommended by the IAEA, various preoperational studies are being carried out, including mapping the “zero-point” radiation environment around the site. As the cit…
Shoreline Displacement, Coastal Environments and Human Subsistence in the Hanö Bay Region during The Mesolithic
Southern Scandinavia experienced significant environmental changes during the early Holocene. Shoreline displacement reconstructions and results from several zooarchaeological studies were used to describe the environmental changes and the associated human subsistence and settlement development in the Hanö Bay region of southern Sweden during the Mesolithic. GIS-based palaeogeographic reconstructions building on shoreline displacement records fro…
A submerged Mesolithic lagoonal landscape in the Baltic Sea, south-eastern Sweden – Early Holocene environmental reconstruction and shore-level displacement based on a multiproxy approach
Shoreline displacement and human resource utilization in the southern Baltic Basin coastal zone during the early Holocene
Along parts of the Hanö Bay coast in south-eastern Sweden, remains of a submerged landscape can be found down to depths of almost 25 m b.s.l. The coastal landscape was formed during two periods of lowered water levels in the Baltic Basin: the Yoldia Sea and the Initial Littorina Sea stages. In order to reconstruct the local environment and shoreline displacement during the Yoldia Sea and Ancylus Lake stages, sediment sequences were obtained at 4.…
The effect of local land-use changes on floristic diversity during the past 1000 years in southern Sweden
The relationship between land-use and floristic diversity in the landscape, for the last millennia, is analysed from two small lakes in southern Sweden. Pollen analysis and the Local Vegetation Estimates (LOVE) model are used to quantify land-cover at local scales with 100-year time windows. Floristic richness is estimated using palynological richness, and we introduce LOVE-based evenness as a proxy for floristic evenness on a local scale based o…
Late-Holocene expansion of a south Swedish peatland and its impact on marginal ecosystems
In this study, a reconstruction of the long-term development and lateral expansion of a south Swedish peat bog was performed using a multi-proxy approach, including dendrochronology, peat stratigraphy and macrofossil and pollen analyses. By combining mapping of cross-dated subfossil trees with radiocarbon-dated peat sequences, an improved approach to reconstruction of lateral peat expansion was applied. Apart from providing approximate ages of tr…
A database and synthesis of northern peatland soil properties and Holocene carbon and nitrogen accumulation
Here, we present results from the most comprehensive compilation of Holocene peat soil properties with associated carbon and nitrogen accumulation rates for northern peatlands. Our database consists of 268 peat cores from 215 sites located north of 45°N. It encompasses regions within which peat carbon data have only recently become available, such as the West Siberia Lowlands, the Hudson Bay Lowlands, Kamchatka in Far East Russia, and the Tibetan…
Floristic diversity in the transition from traditional to modern land-use in southern Sweden a.d. 1800–2008
We aim to provide a long-term ecological analysis of land-use and floristic diversity in the transition from traditional to modern land-use management in the time a.d. 1800–2008 in southern Sweden. We use the Regional Estimates of Vegetation Abundance from Large Sites (REVEALS) model to quantify land-cover changes on a regional scale at 20-year intervals, based on the fossil pollen record. Floristic richness and evenness are estimated using palyn…
Dynamic early Holocene vegetation development on the Faroe Islands inferred from high-resolution plant macrofossil and pollen data
Vegetation dynamics during the earliest part of the Holocene (11,250"10,250"cal yr BP) have been reconstructed from a lacustrine sequence on Sandoy, the Faroe Islands, using detailed plant macrofossil and pollen evidence. The plant macrofossils suggest the initial vegetation was sparse herb and shrub tundra, with Salix herbacea and open-ground species, followed by the development of a denser and more species-rich arctic heathland after 11,150"cal…
Holocene land-cover reconstructions for studies on land cover-climate feedbacks
The major objectives of this paper are: (1) to review the pros and cons of the scenarios of past anthropogenic land cover change (ALCC) developed during the last ten years, (2) to discuss issues related to pollen-based reconstruction of the past land-cover and introduce a new method, REVEALS (Regional Estimates of VEgetation Abundance from Large Sites), to infer long-term records of past land-cover from pollen data, (3) to present a new project (…
Age, geochemistry and distribution of the mid-Holocene Hekla-S/Kebister tephra
The middle Holocene Hekla-S/Kebister tephra originates in the Hekla volcanic system on SW Iceland. The distal distribution of the tephra includes the Faroe Islands, Shetland and Central Sweden, indicating a main dispersal towards the east. The chemical composition of the tephra follows the pattern of other major eruptions of Hekla, and ratios between selected oxides may in some cases allow separation from other major Holocene tephras from Hekla. …
Variability and seasonality of North Atlantic climate during the early Holocene
Based on their position in relation to major ocean currents, palaeoclimatic archives in the Faroe Islands are expected to be sensitive recorders of variations in North Atlantic circulation. The multiproxy analysis (magnetic susceptibility, total carbon, nitrogen and sulphur, biogenic silica, grains >255 μm) of a lacustrine record with both winter and summer climate indicators illustrates the variability of Faroese climate during the early Holocen…
Variations in the carbon isotope composition of late-Holocene plant macrofossils
Stable carbon isotope measurements (δ 13 C) made on Quaternary sequences of terrestrial plant subfos sils are frequently used to infer palaeoclimatic trends. However, differential decomposition of individual con stituents during incorporation of plant material into lake sediments could influence these interpretations. There fore, we investigated down-core variations in the carbon isotope composition (δ 13 C) of subfossil leaves of Salix herbacea …
A Holocene CO2 record from the stomatal index of subfossil Salix herbacea L. leaves from northern Sweden
A stomatal-based method of palaeo-CO 2 estimation has been applied to a temporally detailed sequence of leaves from a high-latitude lake (68°N) in northern Sweden spanning the last 9000 years. The resulting atmospheric CO 2 reconstruction documents the onset of a gradual increase c. 5000 years before present indicating that the carbon cycle has not been in steady state over this time. Stable carbon isotope (δ 13 C) measurements of the subfossil l…
Early-Holocene vegetation of northern Iceland
Pollen and plant macrofossil records from two lakes on northernmost Skagi peninsula, northern Iceland, reflect a progressive closing of the vegetation cover during the early Holocene. This development was connected with the succession from an initial herb-tundra phase characterized by Oxyria digyna, Poaceae and Caryophyllaceae, through an intermediate dwarf-shrub phase dominated by Salix and Empetrum nigrum,toa shrub and dwarf-shrub phase with Ju…
Biostratigraphic Evidence of the Allerød-Younger Dryas-Preboreal Oscillation in Northern Iceland
Basal sediments of Lake Torfadalsvatn, northern Iceland, record changes in terrestrial and limnic environments in the period 11,300-9000 14C yr B.P. These changes were probably forced by climate and connected with displacements of the marine polar front and sea-ice margin. Pollen, spores, green algae (Pediastrum), saturation isothermal remanent magnetization, and carbon content of the basal sediments provide the first detailed biostratigraphic re…
