A kaleidoscope from a lost world: Mesolithic harpoon morphology in Eastern Middle Sweden
Modern geometric techniques offer significant potential to uncover the worlds in which weapons were created, worlds shaped by specific environmental conditions and knowledge systems transmitted through established networks. We analysed the morphology of Mesolithic harpoon points from Eastern Middle Sweden to explore developments in craft and hunting techniques across the circum-Baltic Sea area, and to investigate if specific morphological traits …
Depositional patterns at Åloppe, norrskog- an attempt to contextualize taphonomy on a 20th century excavation
Spatial distribution of unburned mammal remains revealed depositional patterns at a PWC-site. • Contextualized taphonomic analysis suggest different handling of species in different areas of the site and point to human ideas and structured behavior. • Taphonomic observations and spatial distribution suggest an intentional handling and deposition of human remains within a restricted area of the site. The Pitted Ware Culture site Åloppe, Norrskog i…

Points of bone and antler from the Late Mesolithic settlement in Motala, eastern central Sweden
This volume of the series 'Untersuchungen und Materialien zur Steinzeit in Schleswig-Holstein und im Ostseeraum' represents the proceedings of a workshop held at the Centre for Baltic and Scandinavian Archaeology (ZBSA) in Schleswig in March 2016. It is a part of the editors' project 'Neubewertung von Chronologie und Stratigraphie des frhholoznen Fundplatzes Hohen Viecheln (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) unter besonderer Bercksichtigung der diagnostisch…
Mesolithic deer hunting – Prey choice of red deer (Cervus elaphus) based on age and sex distributions
Micro-fossil analysis of Mesolithic human dental calculus, Motala, Sweden - Indications of health status and paleo-diet
The Spatial Organization of Bone Crafting During the Middle and Late Mesolithic at Ringsjöholm and Strandvägen in Sweden
This paper focuses on the spatial distribution of bone tool production waste from two Mesolithic sites in Sweden, Ringsjöholm and Strandvägen, with well-preserved faunal remains including bone and antler artifacts. Local production on both sites has generated a variety of identifiable waste products deriving from complete chains of production, including unmodified bones, debitage and finished products. Identified categories include: blanks, remov…
The Mesolithic inhumation at Brunstad – A two-step multidisciplinary excavation method enables rare insights into hunter-gatherer mortuary practice in Norway
Keep your head high: Skulls on stakes and cranial trauma in Mesolithic Sweden
Lithic Raw Material Economy in the Mesolithic: An Experimental Test of Edged Tool Efficiency and Durability in Bone Tool Production
The foundation of this paper is lithic economy with a focus on the actual use of different lithic raw materials for tasks at hand. Our specific focus is on the production of bone tools during the Mesolithic. The lithic and osseous assemblages from Strandvägen, Motala, in east-central Sweden provide the archaeological background for the study. Based on a series of experiments we evaluate the efficiency and durability of different tool edges of fiv…
