  1. 6. Tools and technology : Lithic technological analysis of Neolithic axe morphology

    Författare :Deborah Olausson; Arkeologi; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Lithic technology; Neolithic; flint axes; stone axes; practical trials; style;

    Sammanfattning : Through practical experiments, edge-wear analysis, and the study of archaeological collections, the dissertation explores the complex relationship between style and function in a specific class of artifacts: the Neolithic axe. The results of the three-part approach described above, when applied for instance to thin-butted axes from the Funnel Beaker Culture, indicated that there was no clear-cut cass of unusable prestige axes, but rather that axe length more likely reflected practical rather than stylistic considerations.

    Sammanfattning : This thesis examines artefacts, raw materials and lithic technology between c. 9200–6200 cal BC in Eastern Central Sweden. The overall purpose of this study is to investigate when people first came to Eastern Central Sweden and where they came from. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Assessment of ceramic raw materials in Uganda for electrical porcelain

    Författare :Peter Wilberforce Olupot; Stefan Jonsson; Thommy Ekström; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; porcelain; characterisation; bending strength; dielectric strength; Uganda; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Clay, quartz and feldspar are widely available in Uganda. The location and properties of various clay deposits are reported in the literature, but little is reported on feldspar and quartz deposits. In this work an extended literature on ceramics and porcelains in particular, is documented. LÄS MER

  5. 9. "Mångfalldige uhrminnes grafvar..." Megalitgravar och samhälle i Västsverige

    Författare :Karl-Göran Sjögren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Megalithic tombs; Passage graves; Bohuslän; Falbygden; Neolithic; Society; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis discusses the social, economic and ideological setting in which megalithic tombs were produced in western Sweden c. 4700-4500 BP. In this period, some 80 tombs were built in Bohuslän and more than 250 in Falbygden in Västergötland, while no tombs were built in other areas of western Sweden. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Carved Mountains and Moving Stones : applications of Near Infrared Spectroscopy for Mineral Characterisation in Provenance Studies

    Författare :Claudia Sciuto; Johan Linderholm; Paul Geladi; Rachel Opitz; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Raw materials; mineral characterization; material agency; Near Infrared spectroscopy; hyperspectral imaging; Energy-Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence; multivariate statistics;

    Sammanfattning : The study of stone artefacts is a combination of anthropological archaeology and geology, rooted in analytical techniques for determining the materials’ composition, typological stylistic classification and interpretation of cultural patterns. In this thesis, the archaeology of materials is considered in the context of sites- and landscape transformation, economic history and development of techniques. LÄS MER
