Chronological aspects of the Hensbacka – a group of hunter-gatherers/fishers on the west coast of Sweden during the Pleistocene/Holocene transition
In this short article, we take a brief but concise look at chronological, and to a limited extent environmental and typological, aspects of the Hensbacka culture group in Bohuslän. Due to the extensive nature of the group in time and space, it is reasonable to refer to members of this group as colonizers – even if other groups may have visited western Sweden prior to the Hensbacka. Granted, the title is provocative but it should be made clear tha…
Early Colonization, Glacial Melt Water, and Island Mass Effect in the Archipelago of Western S weden
In this short article I consider the relationship between glacial melt water that empties into the sea, and early coastal colonization by hunter‐gatherers. In addition, I contend that this archaeological/oceanographical case study from the S wedish west coast is a model that can be applied to other coastal areas of the world with raised beaches, and where similar conditions prevailed during the close of the L ate G lacial and the beginning of the…
The Continental Connection
In a recent article Hakon Glorstad (2013) discussed the lack of early Mesolithic boats and argued for an early use of log boats. The question of boat types is touched upon here, but more significan

A Note Concerning Flake Axes and Umiaks
Chronological Insights, Cultural Change, and Resource Exploitation on the West Coast of Sweden During the Late Palaeolithic/Early Mesolithic Transition
In this paper, we attempt to shed light on a probable cause of cultural change via a new avenue of approach. In brief, the paper represents a micro‐study that addresses the Ahrensburgian culture group during the close of the Late Palaeolithic in north central Europe, and its relationship to the Hensbacka group found in central Bohuslän on the coast of western Sweden. Although we do not disagree that environmental conditions are a ‘prime mover’ of…
Why They Came’; The Colonization of the Coast of Western Sweden and Its Environmental Context at the End of the Last Glaciation
In this paper we will bring into view new aspects of Late Palaeolithic and early Mesolithic research on the west coast of Sweden. In doing so, we make use of oceanography and tidal modelling, in conjunction with basic research in the fields of archaeology and palynology. The focus of research concerns the Hensbacka culture group in central Bohuslän, a group of hunter‐gatherers which visited the area between c.10,300–9300 bp (10,200/10,000–8500 ca…
Comparative Points and Relative Thoughts
During recent years, it has become reasonably clear that a relationship does exist between the Continental Ahrensburgian, and the Hensbacka culture group found on the west coast of Sweden; indeed, this is a notion that was first mentioned as early as 1963. Although the nature of the relationship still remains rather diffuse, evidence is accumulating that tends to substantiate the proposition that the Hensbacka assemblage is a seasonal, and theref…
The Hensbacka
In this paper, three aspects of the Hensbacka/Fosna assemblage are discussed. Although significant features of the inventory have been touched upon, emphasis is placed on two issues: firstly, the environmental premise of the assemblage and, secondly, the origin(s) of the group(s) behind the assemblage. In this regard, it is suggested that the Hensbacka/Fosna assemblage is an ‘expression’ that reflects subsistence strategies of Continental hunter/…
