Tales of middle Mesolithic cultural transformations and marine adaptation
Submerged archaeological sites from the early Holocene, along the south-western and western Norwegian coastline are important sources of new information about stone-age human populations and coastal adaptation. In this article we present a Mesolithic hatchet made of bone that was found at the harbor floor at Kirkehavn in southern Norway in 1997. While radiocarbon dating proved this hatchet to be the oldest directly dated in Scandinavia (9884–9480…
Microscopic identification of feathers from 7th century boat burials at Valsgärde in Central Sweden
The warriors in the well-equipped, high-rank 7th–8th century boat burials at Valsgärde in Central Sweden were lying in feather stuffed beds. Feathers, especially from Common Eider, are known as trade commodities from the coast of North Norway from the 15th century onwards, but written sources indicate that it started much earlier. The main goal of this investigation was thus to see if the feathers from two of the boat burials, Valsgärde 7 and 8, …
Interpreting archaeological site-formation processes at a mountain ice patch
In the context of global warming, ice patches are increasingly important foci of high-elevation archaeology. Langfonne in Jotunheimen, central southern Norway, is uniquely suited to provide a window onto site formation processes and taphonomy in this novel archaeological setting. Here the site record from systematic survey includes the largest number of arrows, bones and antlers from a single ice patch worldwide. Combining data from these finds w…
From mountains to towns
In medieval archaeology there are long traditions for studying foreign, exotic material culture as proxy for procurement networks of international reach. A paradox is that domestic networks, which brought products to consumers at home, has attracted little attention. During the Middle Ages (1030–1537), antler from reindeer was a north Scandinavian outland resource that found its way from remote mountains to settlements at home and abroad for use …
Stable isotope analysis and variation in medieval domestic pig husbandry practices in northwest Europe
Cervids in a dynamic northern landscape
It is predicted that future climate change will have a significant impact on the distribution of large ungulates on a continental scale. At the same time, changes in human land use on a more local scale may affect their distribution and dispersal abilities, possibly confounding the effects of climate. We analyze changes in the Holocene distribution and relative abundance of Alces alces (moose) and Cervus elaphus (red deer) skeletal remains along …
The rise and fall of wild boar in a northern environment
Here we use long-term data from Holocene archaeological bone assemblages in order to investigate how changes in climate, vegetation and human land use might have influenced the distribution of wild boar ( Sus scrofa) in Norway during the Holocene. We combine four lines of evidence: an analysis of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in a time series of subfossil teeth, distribution data of bone finds from 31 archaeological sites, changes in the…
