1. 16. Ancient DNA as a Means to Investigate the European Neolithic

   Författare :Helena Malmström; Anders Göterström; Gunilla Holmlund; T Brown; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Molecular genetics; aDNA; contamination; authentication; mtDNA; Neolithisation; Genetik;

   Sammanfattning : The transition from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to a farming lifestyle, i.e. the Neolithisation, is arguably the most important event in human prehistory. While the geography and dating of the Neolithisation is well known, the process is still under debate, especially if it occurred through diffusion of ideas or with migrating farmers. LÄS MER

3. 17. Palaeodiet and Infant Feeding in Coastal Arctic Settlements : Insights from stable isotope analysis of bone and dentine collagen and amino acids

   Författare :Alison Harris; Gunilla Eriksson; Kerstin Lidén; Michelle Alexander; Tamsin O'Connell; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Arctic; palaeodiet; Inuit; Yup’ik; infant feeding; domestic dogs; amino acids; collagen; stable isotopes; maintenance activities; gender; arkeologi med inriktning mot laborativ arkeologi; Scientific Archaeology;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation investigates the day-to-day activities that sustained human societies in the arctic and subarctic environments of North America and Siberia over the past 1500 years. Maintenance activities, such as food preparation, childcare, and the care of domestic animals, are commonly inflected by social identity and can provide insight into the experience of gender among archaeological and historical populations.

4. 18. Demographic History and Adaptation in African Populations

   Författare :Mário Vicente; Carina Schlebusch; Mattias Jakobsson; Lluis Quintana-Murci; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; African demography; human evolutionary genetics; population structure; population admixture; genetic adaptation;

   Sammanfattning : Africa is the continent where modern humans originated and yet, African demographic history remains largely unknown. Through analyzing the genetic composition of extant and extinct individuals, it is possible to reveal signals of past demographic history and adaptation. LÄS MER

5. 19. Prehistoric diet transitions : an archaeological perspective

   Författare :Kerstin Lidén; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES;

   Sammanfattning : This is a study of prehistoric diet transitions within the Baltic area during the Stone Age. More specific the changes in diet expected to be found when hunter-gatherer subsistence is changed into a farming subsistence. This transition should be able to detect in the bone material as changes in trace element amounts and changes in stable isotopes. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Jahai, a language belonging to the Aslian branch of the Mon-Khmer language family, is spoken by a group of about 1,000 hunter-gatherers in the montane rainforests of northern Peninsular Malaysia. Drawing on linguistic data collected in the field, the present dissertation is a study of the grammar of Jahai. LÄS MER
