Mission impossible? Quantifying aquatic resource consumption in historic period Estonia (AD 1100‒1800)
Sulfur stable isotope ratios (δ 34 S) have become increasingly common in archaeology for studying paleodiet, especially in occasions where there is a need to identify aquatic resource consumption more accurately. This is particularly relevant in the Baltic Sea region, where brackish conditions tend to mask “typical” marine carbon isotopic signals. Here we report new δ 34 S values for 126 human bone collagen samples which will be analyzed together…

First glimpse of infectious diseases in medieval and early modern Estonia based on human osteological material
This paper deals with infectious diseases reflected on human skeletal remains from the period of the Northern Crusades in Estonia, i.e. from the 13th until the end of the 18th century. Skeletons from the Medieval and Early Modern Periods are considered together, as most of the pathologies detected on them are characteristic of both periods. This article gives a preliminary overview of infectious diseases â leprosy, venereal syphilis and tuberculo…
Dietary habits in medieval and early modern Estonia
New stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic analyses from medieval and early modern sites across Estonia demonstrate systematic differences in the dietary habits of people from various locations and social groups. These results are compared with previously published isotopic data from similar contexts to identify the type and origin of dietary items, specifically in terms of aquatic resource consumption. Distinction between protein sources is, howeve…
Hunger, disease, and subtle lesions
This paper reports a case study of 43 fetuses and perinates from four mass graves and two double burials from the cemetery of St. Jacob in Tartu (SE Estonia). The burials were dated to the 13th-15th centuries AD and located outside the cemetery walls, and likely can be linked to historically recorded episodes of famine and epidemic in medieval Livonia. All individuals belonged to the fetal and perinatal age categories, meaning they were either ab…

Tracing Prehistoric Migration
There have been various explanations in archaeological literature about whether the earliest Bronze Age stone-cist graves and the first Pre-Roman Iron Age tarand graves in Estonia were built by locals or non-locals. As to possible immigrations, the stone-cist graves have been often related to Scandinavian populations, whilst early tarand graves allegedly had roots in eastern directions. The oldest known examples of these cemetery types are at JÃμ…
