Galgedil
Galgedil is a Viking Age cemetery located in the northern part of the Danish island of Funen. Excavations at the site revealed 54 graves containing 59 inhumations and 2 cremation burials. Previous study of the remains to date has included light isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in collagen (10 samples) and the radiocarbon determination of the age of 8 samples. In addition, aDNA was investigated in 10 samples from the cemetery. Here we report the an…
Patterns of violence‐related skull trauma in neolithic southern scandinavia
This article examines evidence for violence as reflected in skull injuries in 378 individuals from Neolithic Denmark and Sweden (3,900–1,700 BC). It is the first large‐scale crossregional study of skull trauma in southern Scandinavia, documenting skeletal evidence of violence at a population level. We also investigate the widely assumed hypothesis that Neolithic violence is male‐dominated and results in primarily male injuries and fatalities. Con…
Isotopic investigation of human provenience at the eleventh century cemetery of Ndr. Grødbygård, Bornholm, Denmark
Bornholm is a Danish island almost in the center of the southern Baltic Sea. The strategic location of the island, its rich archeology, and its complex geology make it an intriguing location for the isotopic study of past human mobility. The focus of this study is on the large cemetery of Ndr. Grødbygård in the southern part of the island, which dates to the eleventh century AD and contains 553 individuals in 516 graves. The majority of the buria…

Who was in Harold Bluetooth's army? Strontium isotope investigation of the cemetery at the Viking Age fortress at Trelleborg, Denmark
The circular fortress of Trelleborg on Zealand in Denmark is well known as a military camp with a key role in the formation of the Danish state under Harald Bluetooth in the tenth century AD. Taking a sample of 48 burials from the fort, strontium isotope analysis once again demonstrates its ability to eavesdrop on a community: at Trelleborg, the young men in its cemetery were largely recruited from outside Denmark, perhaps from Norway or the Slav…
Comparison of child morbidity in two contrasting medieval cemeteries from Denmark
This study compares associations between demographic profiles, long bone lengths, bone mineral content, and frequencies of stress indicators in the preadult populations of two medieval skeletal assemblages from Denmark. One is from a leprosarium, and thus probably represents a disadvantaged group (Næstved). The other comes from a normal, and in comparison rather privileged, medieval community (Æbelholt). Previous studies of the adult population i…

Chronology of the Danish Bronze Age Based on 14 C Dating of Cremated Bone Remains
The relative Bronze Age chronology for Scandinavia was established as early as 1885. It is traditionally divided into 6 periods (I–VI). Earlier attempts to make an absolute Bronze Age chronology for southern Scandinavia were derived from burials and settlements and were mainly based on radiocarbon-dated charcoal or carbonized cereals, often with undefined archaeological periods. Here, we present high-precision 14 C dating on burials with well-def…

Determination of mineral content and organic matrix in bone samples using dual photon absorptiometry
An application of dual photon absorptiometry for measuring Bone Mineral Content (BMC) and the amount of organic matrix in bones in vitro is described. Dual photon absorptiometry was performed using a153Gd source and a Gammatec GT 50 scanner. Although the method is well known in clinical research of osteoporosis and has previously been described, the fundamental principles of the method are demonstrated graphically as this paper is directed to a n…
Early neolithic skeletons from Bolkilde bog, Denmark
In 1946 two skeletons were found during peat-digging in Bolkilde bog in the north of the Danish island of Als. They have now been dated to the middle of the fourth millennium BC and are interpreted as ritual offerings of a fertility cult which went through from the early Neolithic to the time of Frej and Freja. All three authors are in the University of Copenhagen: Pia Bennike is a research fellow in the Anthropological Laboratory, Klaus Ebbesen …
Transverse -Harris- Lines in a Skeletal Population from the 1711 Danish Plague Site
This study examines the occurrence and distribution of transverse lines in skeletal remains from the Copenhagen site, a plague cemetery dated 1711 AD. A relatively low frequency for evidence of line formation was observed in the individuals comprising the total sample and no transverse lines were present in the subadult category. This paper addresses the pattern of transverse line occurrence and cohort-specific distribution in a plague sample in …

A case study of possible differential diagnoses of a medieval skeleton from Denmark
This paper uses macroscopic and radiological examinations to provide differential diagnoses of pathological lesions in the skeleton of a young woman, 20-25 years of age, which triggered the Danish palaeopathologist Vilhelm Møller-Christensen's interest in leprosy. The skeleton was incomplete, but the majority of bones of the upper body, as well as the skull, were present. The pathological changes consisted of medullary and cortical lytic foci, pe…
Establishing a minimum damage procedure for the gut sampling of intact human bodies
The investigation of the Lindow I1 bog body (Stead et al. 1986), made it necessary to consider aspects of previously discovered human remains of a similar kind. Two of us (DL and DB) found that further studies could profitably be undertaken on the specimens in the National Museum of Copenhagen. As a result of this, a number of detailed specialist reports relating to the Huldremose bog body are being prepared for press. An overriding concern in th…

Contracture and anchylosis of the hip joint in a right angle. Five palaeopathological cases
To-day contracture and ankylosis of the hip joint in a right angle is almost unknown in the industrial part of the world due to modern medical treatment. Most descriptions of this subject are primarily to be found in the literature of last century. Here, the causes mentioned were trauma, congenital disorders and most often infectious diseases such as osteomyelitis and tuberculosis. A total ankylosis of the joint is described as the result of immo…
