1. 21. Human Impact on Vegetation of Coastal Estonia during the Stone Age

   Författare :Anneli Poska; Dagfinn Moe; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Estonia; pollen analysis; Holocene; pre-agrarian human impact; introduction of arable farming; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Quarternary Geology; kvartärgeologi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the dynamics of vegetation and human impact on the environment in coastal Estonia during the Holocene. The sediments of five mires and two lakes from the mainland and from Saaremaa island, and a cultural layer of an Early Mesolithic settlement at Pärnu River were investigated by means of pollen analysis (modern and fossil pollen spectra), 14C dating (AMS and conventional dating) and numerical analysis of pollen data (rarefaction analysis, zonation and principal components analysis).

3. 22. Det hotade kollektivet : Neolitiseringsprocessen ur ett östmellansvenskt perspektiv

   Författare :Lars Sundström; Helena Knutsson; Lars Forsberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Archaeology; Neolithisation; Funnel-Beaker Culture; TRB; hunters-gatherers; social complexity; social reproduction; history; Eastern Central Sweden; Axe production; domestic production; petrological analysis; Arkeologi; Archaeology subjects; Arkeologiämnen;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation questions the established view on the social process in connection with Neolithisation. Therefore it has been necessary to discuss more general principles, on how to understand this process of change, when iterant hunter-gatherers became settled farmers. LÄS MER

4. 23. Weaned Upon A Time : Studies of the Infant Diet in Prehistory

   Författare :Rachel Howcroft; Kerstin Lidén; Gunilla Eriksson; Tamsin O'Connell; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Infant Feeding; Breastfeeding; Weaning; Milk; Diet; Fertility; Neolithic; Agriculture; Hunter-Gatherer; Bronze Age; Iron Age; Prehistory; Carbon and Nitrogen Stable Isotope Ratios; Bone; Dentine; Archaeological Science; laborativ arkeologi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with how prehistoric infants were fed in different physical and cultural environments, and in particular what impact the economic, social, and epidemiological changes associated with the development of agriculture had on infant feeding practices. In order to examine these effects, stable isotope ratio analysis has been used to assess the duration of breastfeeding and weaning in a variety of prehistoric contexts. LÄS MER

5. 24. Origins and Adaptation in Humans : A Case Study of Taste and Lifestyle

   Författare :Agnès E. Sjöstrand; Mattias Jakobsson; Evelyne Heyer; Michael G. B. Blum; David Comas; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Evolutionary Genetics; Evolutionär genetik;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I use population genetics and statistical approaches to investigate early human demography, infer local adaptation in diverse sets of populations, and study the genetic basis for taste perception.In the first paper, I examine the genomic evidence for a severe bottleneck, which has been suggested based on paleontological and climate studies to coincide with the emergence of anatomically modern humans.

7. 25. Mended by masticates : A study of archaeogenetic proxies of migration, settlement and health in North Eurasian Mesolithic

   Författare :Natalija Kashuba; Anders Kaliff; Mattias Jakobsson; Torun Zachrisson; Tiina Maria Mattila; Lehti Saag; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Archaeogenetics; Mesolithic population genetics; human identity; post-LGM hunter-gatherer societies; aDNA; metagenomics; masticates pitch resin; molecular paleopathology; Archaeology; Arkeologi; Biology with Specialisation in Human Evolution and Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot människans evolution och genetik;

   Sammanfattning : A joint archaeogenetic perspective integrates diverse lines of evidence from archaeology and paleogenetics to advance our understanding of human prehistory. In this thesis I contribute to the corpus of archaeogenetic data by producing and analysing ancient genomic data from osseous and masticated material. LÄS MER
