Malou Blank. Mobility, Subsistence and Mortuary Practices. An Interdisciplinary Study of Neolithic and Early Bronze Age Megalithic Populations of Southwestern Sweden
The title of Malou Blank's doctoral thesis neatly reflects its content.It is an interdisciplinary study that produces results from a battery of scientific research methods and statistical techniques, whereby new light is shed on the Neolithic megalithic grave tradition of Falbygden in Vstergtland, southwestern Sweden.The research area is located between Sweden's two largest lakes, Vnern and Vttern, an area with a chalk-rich, Cambro-Silurian bedro…
Evolution and Material Culture
To begin by summarizing the aims of our article, these were to (r) present what we believe to be the fundaments of evolutionary theory, (z) to present how studies of material culture can be related to evolu- tionary theory, and (3) to discuss what the advantages of such an evo- lutionary viewpoint might be in social studies
Evolution and Material Culture
In this paper the authors argue that the renewed interest in cultural evolution in archaeology may have a fundamental effect on the taxonomies employed and the role of archaeology as a discipline
Sharing Archaeological Knowledge
This study describes the development of a digital reporting system designed to provide archaeologists with a dynamic and interactive 3D web platform that can be used for describing in great detail records and activities undertaken across a multi-year field investigation campaign. The system was used to compose the archaeological report of a multi-year investigation and employed during the pandemic crisis for supporting digital courses in archaeol…
Dynamic adaptations of the Mesolithic pioneers of Gotland in the Baltic Sea
Mesolithic pioneers reached Gotland around 9200 cal BP and adopted seal-hunting. The subsistence economy was flexible, and the importance of freshwater fish is reflected in the location of settlements and available stable isotope data. Overgrowing lakes provided an important subsistence base, and marine resources were mainly related to raw material needs. The narrower breadth of resources is reflected in the osseous production, where implements w…
Re-enacting the sequence
This contribution seeks to demonstrate how recently developed 3D GIS platforms can help archeologists in relating to the original context legacy data that can be employed to digitally reconstruct the sequence of arbitrary layers as it was observed and then excavated in the end of the nineteenth century. This research has been conducted on the prehistoric cave of Stora Förvar, located on the small island of Stora Karlsö, in South-Eastern Sweden. A…
Botanical evidence of malt for beer production in fifth-seventh century Uppåkra, Sweden
The excavation of a low-temperature kiln structure at an affluent Iron Age regional center, Uppåkra, located in southern Sweden, revealed from archeobotanical samples and its context evidence of malting in the process to make beer. Carbonized germinated hulled barley grain (Hordeum vulgare) was recovered from the kiln structure itself and from the surrounding occupationalsurface. Located somewhat from the central area of the site, where previous …
Population genomics of Mesolithic Scandinavia
Scandinavia was one of the last geographic areas in Europe to become habitable for humans after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). However, the routes and genetic composition of these postglacial migrants remain unclear. We sequenced the genomes, up to 57× coverage, of seven hunter-gatherers excavated across Scandinavia and dated from 9,500-6,000 years before present (BP). Surprisingly, among the Scandinavian Mesolithic individuals, the genetic data…

Genomic Diversity and Admixture Differs for Stone-Age Scandinavian Foragers and Farmers
Hunters and Farmers The Neolithic period in Europe saw the transition from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to farming. Previous genetic analyses have suggested that hunter-gatherers were replaced by immigrant farmers. Skoglund et al. (p. 747 , published online 24 April) sequenced one Mesolithic and nine Neolithic Swedish individuals to examine the transition from hunter-gatherers to farmers. Substantial genetic differentiation was observed between hu…
Late Acheulean technology and cognition at Boxgrove, UK
Priešistorinė gyvensena Gotlande – diachroninė ir sinchroninė perspektyva
The prehistoric period of Gotland Island covers around 8000 years of human occupation. In this paper we will concentrate on the period from the initial colonization to the end of the Bronze Age, a period of c. 7000 years. The prehistory of the people, who populated the Island of Gotland during this time, is diversified and reflects a variety of activities and lifestyles, which are influenced and interact with different regions around the Baltic S…
