  1. 1. Application of Mitochondrial DNA Analysis in Contemporary and Historical Samples

    Författare :Maria Lembring; Marie Allen; Niels Morling; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Forensic genetics; Mitochondrial DNA; HVI HVII; Population database; Haplotype; Haplogroup; Ancient DNA; Historical DNA samples; skeletal remains; Vasa museum; Medieval samples; Copernicus; Göring; Genetik; Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : The mitochondrion is a tiny organelle that is the power supplier of the cell and vital to the functioning of the body organs. Additionally it contains a small circular genome of about 16 kb, present in many copies which makes the mitochondrial DNA more viable than nuclear DNA. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Urban and rural environments from Iron Age to Medieval time in northern Europe : Evidence from fossil insect remains from South-Eastern Sweden and Novgorod, Russia

    Författare :Magnus Hellqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Late Holocene; Iron Age; Medieval time; subfossil insects; Coleoptera; environment; climate; human environment; taphonomy; south-eastern Sweden; Novgorod; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Quarternary Geology; Kvartärgeologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents and discusses results from studies in of subfossil insect remains of natural and cultural origin. Samples were obtained by coring in sediments or by collection during archaeological excavations. The aim was to reconstruct local environment and climate in rural and early urban situations from Iron Age to medieval time. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The Urban Farmer : Osteoarchaeological Analysis of Skeletons from Medieval Sigtuna Interpreted in a Socioeconomic Perspective

    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; urbanization; health index; Middle Ages; sex distribution; age distribution; dietary patterns; Archaeology subjects; Arkeologiämnen; arkeologi; Archaeology;

    Sammanfattning : At the end of the 10th century the first Swedish town Sigtuna was founded, which can be recognized as the beginning of urbanization in the Mälaren valley. Christianity was growing strong and the administrative power was probably concentrated to a few magnates gathered around a king. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Summer Climate Variability during the Past 1200 Years in Central Scandinavia – A Tree-Ring Perspective

    Författare :Peng Zhang; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Central Scandinavia; climate variability; dendroclimatology; maximum latewood density; Medieval Climate Anomaly; model-proxy data comparison; Pinus sylvestris L.; temperature; tree-ring width;

    Sammanfattning : To set the current 20th century warming in a long-term context, significant efforts have been made to reconstruct hemispheric-to-global temperatures beyond the instrumental period. Tree-rings, which have annual resolution and can be precisely dated, have been widely used to infer past climate variability. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The Church of Yimrhane Kristos : An Archaeological Investigation

    Författare :Mengistu Gobezie Worku; Kyrko- och missionsstudier; []
    Nyckelord :Yimrhane Kristos; church archaeology; Lasta; Zagwe; radiocarbon dating; wood anatomy; archaeometry; cedar; plaster; pigment; Lalibela; Medieval Ethiopia;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to augment our understanding of the Church of Yimrhane Kristos, and the Lasta period in which it was built, from the study of a variety of source materials. Due to the fact that the Lasta period suffers from the absence of adequate and reliable literary sources, this study largely depends on the elements of historic buildings as the basic data source.
