    Author : Johanna Kantak; [2023]
    Keywords : Water wells; Macrofossils; Soil chemistry; NiR; MS; XRF;

    Abstract : En omfattande multiproxyanalys har utförts på provtagningar från två vattenhål belägna i Skåneregionen i Sverige. Denna mångsidiga analys involverade flera aspekter, inklusive markkemi, entomologi, mikrofossiler och makrofossiler. Resultaten från markkemianalysen avslöjade betydande skillnader mellan de två vattenhålen. READ MORE

  3. 2. Judging a loaf by its appearance : A protocol to study bread and bread-like fragments based on the study cases of Gamla Uppsala, Valsgärde, and Gnista

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historia

    Author : Sara Scaglia; [2023]
    Keywords : Bread; Organic charred remains; Uppland; Experimental archaeology; Archaeobotany; Lipid analyses.; Bröd; organiska förkolnade lämningar; Uppland; experimentell arkeologi; arkeobotanik; lipidanalyser;

    Abstract : Bread is an important cultural and social marker, and it occurs in many contexts, often preserved as carbonised. However, as bread fragments are typically small and anonymous, their total value of them is not appreciated. Often bread material is grouped simply as organic and not considered. READ MORE

  4. 3. Making a feast for the deceased : Archaeobotanical investigation of plant remains in ovens used for drying cereals and food consumption through ovens, graves, and bog bodies

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för idé- och samhällsstudier

    Author : Daniel Andreas Smeds; [2021]
    Keywords : Archaeobotany; Cereal drying ovens; Food consumption; Grave deposition; Bog body stomach content; Arkeobotanik; arkeologi; ugnar; gravar; mosslik; matkonsumtion;

    Abstract : Det finns många frågetecken kvar kring konsumtionsbeteende inom förhistoriska kulturer. Målet med denna studie var därför att studera och förbättra förståelsen av det arkeobotaniska materialet i ugnar gjorda för att torka sädeskorn och hur ugnarnas innehåll korrelerar med den växtbaserade matkonsumtionen, samt att försöka se potentiella samband mellan ugnarna, deponerade växtrester i gravar och de två mossliken Grauballemannen och Tollundmannens maginnehåll.

  5. 4. Archaeobotany in the 4th Dimension: Visualising Specialist Data in a 3D GIS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Arkeologi

    Author : John Paul Howorth; [2020]
    Keywords : 3D 4D GIS; Archaeobotany; Uppåkra; Digital Archaeology; Visualisation; History and Archaeology;

    Abstract : Archaeobotany and GIS are closely linked with archaeology, it is hard to imagine a modern archaeological investigation without them. The two appear to complement each other. GIS links highly complex sets of data with space, and offers a range of analytical tools. READ MORE

  6. 5. A hall fit for a king : An anthracological analysis of the great hall at Gamla Uppsala

    Abstract : This thesis analyses the carbonised remains of the great hall building in Gamla (old) Uppsala, Sweden, which burnt down sometime between 7th to 8th century AD. It is easily assumed that the people of Gamla Uppsala, who lived in one of the most important central places in Iron Age Scandinavia, had both the economy and power to build a most spectacular hall.
