Population genomics of the Viking world
Antler Combs From the Salme Ship Burials
In 2008 and 2010, two partly destroyed ship burials were discovered near Salme on the island of Saaremaa. During the archaeological excavations, at least 41 wholly or partially preserved skeletons were discovered, and a large number of artefacts were found, including a dozen single-sided antler combs. On the basis of the finds, as well as radiocarbon dating, the ship burials were dated to the Pre-Viking Period, while both the isotopic and archaeo…
Physical anthropology and bioarchaeology at the Institute of History in the last 20 years
Human populations and their history have been studied at the Institute of History since 1952 when the young researcher Karin Mark started her career here. Later, Karin Mark became a leading researcher in palaeoanthro pology and somatology of Finno-Ugric peoples, and her working group grew. At the end of the 1980s, Leiu Heapost took over the position as group leader in anthropological research. In 1988 Raili Allmäe and in 2004 Jana Limbo-Simovart …
Human remains, context, and place of origin for the Salme, Estonia, boat burials
Two boat graves with mass burials in Estonia. • Isotopic proveniencing using strontium, oxygen, and carbon. • Discussion of isotopic baselines around the Baltic Sea. • Dead probably from Malären area of east-central Sweden and from Gotland. Isotopic proveniencing of all individuals from the ship and boat burials at Salme, Estonia, is the subject of this study of the interred human remains from around AD 750, at the beginning of the Viking period.…
Demographic data and fi gures derived from Estonian Iron Age graves
Three Iron Age cremation graves from south-eastern Estonia and four graves including cremations as well inhumations from western Estonia were analysed by osteological and palaeodemographic methods in order to estimate the age and sex composition of burial sites, and to propose some possible demographic figures and models for living communities. The crude birth/death rate estimated on the basis of juvenility indices varied between 55.1‰ and 60.0‰ …
Isotopic provenancing of the Salme ship burials in Pre-Viking Age Estonia
Conventional ageing and sexing methods based on teeth and dry bone morphology in the person's identification (victims of red terror in 1946)
Human skeletal remains exhumated from the post-war multiple grave in Southern Estonia were anthropologically analysed. Conventional ageing and sexing methods were used to esimate biological sex and age at death of buried people. The blind test was carried out by two independent researchers; the obtained results were compared with historic data concerning the chronological age at death and the sex of buried people
Observations on Estonian Iron Age Cremations
Several Estonian burial places with cremations were investigated in the period 1997 to 2011. During the research, various descriptive and metric data on cremated bone materials was observed. The present paper is an attempt to systematise and interpret the data collected, in order to provide some generalisations on Estonian cremations. A comparative study of graves on the basis of the minimum number of buried individuals and the number of determin…
Occasional archaeological human skeletal remains from Läänemaa, Western Estonia
During archaeological excavations in 2012 human skeletal remains were recovered from two sites in Läänemaa: four 16th–17th centuries skeletons from Ehte Street in the town of Haapsalu and two Late Iron Age (12th–13th cc.) skeletons from the Maidla grave-field. The skeletal data from Läänemaa are scanty, thus anthropological analyses of these occasionally found remains were conducted and some characteristics of body build were calculated
Human bones in Salme I boat-grave, the island of Saaremaa; Estonia
In the autumn of 2008 human and animal bones came to light during the cabling works in the village of Salme, on the island of Saaremaa, Estonia. Some days later a contour of an ancient boat was discovered. The ancient boat, as well as human and animal bones inside it, dates to the second half of the 7th century or the beginning of the 8th century. The osteological analyses of the human bone material featured the specific quality of this burial-sk…
The content of chemical elements in archaeological human bones as a source of nutrition research
The aim of the present research was to determine chemical elements using the inductive plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) in Estonian archaeological human bones to establish the possible content of the menu in different communities. Among the studied material clear differentiation can be made between the Pärnu cemetery of St John’s church (the cemetery of the Pärnu garrison) from the 16–18th cc. and the Tääksi village cemetery from the 14–18th cen…
The Salme I Ship Burial
Kirikumägi at Siksälä
The article discusses the excavation results of Late Iron Age cemetery on Kirikumägi at Siksälä, south-easternmost corner of Estonia. On the basis of analysis of cremated bones and the context of their location the presence of a new grave form â flat-ground cremation burials with unfurnished cremains poured or dispersed on burial plots deepened into the ground and later levelled â is suggested. The article also presents the results of analysis of…

Grave 2 of Maidla – The Burial Site of a Single Family
Stone grave 2 of Maidla is the largest of the archaeologically and osteologically investigated cemeteries of Läänemaa, and probably also the largest osteologically investigated Iron Age burial site in Estonia. The stone grave was used in the 10thâ 13th centuries, it contained both cremations and inhumations, and among the latter also several complete skeletons were found. The gender and age structure of the people buried in grave 2 of Maidla was …
