  1. 11. OSL dating of the Mesolithic site Nilsvikdalen 7, Bjorøy, Norway.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Elin Jirdén; [2022]
    Keywords : OSL dating; luminescence; SAR protocol; water content; archaeology; Late Mesolithic; Norway.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Luminescence dating is a well-established dating method within geological and archaeological research. However, the use of luminescence dating, and more specifically optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), is currently underutilised in Norwegian archaeology. READ MORE

  3. 12. Late use of chipped stone tools: A case study of Viking age and Medieval material from middle Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Arkeologi

    Author : Mikael Lindahl; [2022]
    Keywords : Viking age; Middle age; Lithics analysis; Use-wear analysis; Affordance; Entanglement; Värmland; Mälardalen; Skramle; Birka; Scrapers; Fur-production; trade; History and Archaeology;

    Abstract : Stone tools define earlier prehistory but the extent of their usage in later periods remains uncertain, as the archaeological community tends to focus on trademark materials from respective time periods. Accordingly, usage of chipped stone such as quartz and flint in later periods, tends to be ignored or regarded as residual from earlier Stone age activities, resulting in that valuable knowledge is lost.

  4. 13. 3D Geological Modelling of the Subsurface Adjacent to Cementa’s Quarry in Skövde, Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Minna Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : 3D model; limestone; cement production; resistivity; photogrammetry; Skövde; 3D modell; kalksten; cementproduktion; resistivitet; fotogrammetri; Skövde;

    Abstract : Limestone is one of the main components of cement production. Limestone has been quarried in Skövde, Sweden, since the end of 19th century and Cementa AB has been operating the quarry since 1973. Aside from limestone, there are also Alum shale of Cambrian age, mudstones as well as bentonite layers of Ordovician age present in the quarry. READ MORE

  5. 14. Taphonomic Markers and 3D-Modelling - A Non-Intrusive Method for Micromorphological Distinction of Metal and Stone Butchering Tools

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Historisk osteologi

    Author : Gianni Bello Cifuentes; [2021]
    Keywords : Osteology; Experimental Archaeology; 3D-modelling; Photogrammetry; Microphotogrammetry; Taphonomy; Bone Surface Modification; Cut Marks; Butchery Patterns; Digital Visualisation; Digital Zooarchaeology; Digital Osteology; History and Archaeology;

    Abstract : Digital tools in (zoo)archaeology have great potential for education, mediation, and research. Microphotogrammetric 3D-modeling offers new non-intrusive analytical approaches to old problems and questions. READ MORE

  6. 15. Pipe Surface Roughness at Microscale and Discussion of Possible Relation to Flow Properties

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Yiting Qiao; Mahsa Kajbaf Nezhad; [2021]
    Keywords : pipe flow; roughness; microscale; SEM; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Despite decades of intense research, the behavior of water molecule still warrants new research.Water flow through various pipe systems has become a pivotal corner stone of functioning human infrastructure. READ MORE
