1	36 nyanser av torsk : en osteologisk analys av fiskben från Hemmor i Dalbo i När sn på Gotland / 36 shades of cod : an osteological analysis of the fishbones from Hemmor in Dalbo in När sn at Gotland Båvlind, Ida January 2013 (has links) The purpose of this paper was to analyze fishbones from the Pitted Ware Culture settlement named Hemmor. in Dalbo, När parish on Gotland. The fishbones are unburnt and derive from one specific culture layer (c:6) in trench one VI:7, and radiocarbon dated to 2600-2300 BC cal. In this paper I wanted to answer these following questions:1. What kind of fish species did they eat in Hemmor?2. How was the different fish species represented in the material?3. What kind of fishing methods did they use to capture the fish?4. Was the settlement named Hemmor used through the entire year? The methods I used were both quantitative and qualitative. The identification of the different fish species was made by using modern reference material. All fragments were counted and weighed in order to estimate how the different fish species were represented at the settlement. To estimate season of catch and age , 10 vertebrae of cod was randomly picked out from the material. The fish species represented in the material was : cod, herring, pike, perch, flatfish and whitefish/ salmon. The most common fish species in the material was cod. The fishbone material from Hemmor was compared with three other Neolithic settlements in the Baltic sea region. The results were similar for two of the settlements while one differed some from the others. The fishing methods based on the archeological findings at the excavation site, showed that the people at Hemmor could have used fish-forks, harpoons, fishhook sand fishing nets. The fish species in the material indicate that the Hemmor settlement was probably used throughout the year, which also was indicated from the 10vertebrae of cod, since it was caught during both summer and winter. Some of the other fishes indicated that the people in Hemmor also fished during the spring and fall. Fiskben Hemmor Ostelogisk analys Gropkeramisk kultur
2	Gömt bakom symbolen : en studie om gropkeramisk dekor på Gotland / Concealed behind the symbol : a study of the ornament of the Pitted Ware Culture on the island of Gotland Lidman, Erika January 2013 (has links) This thesis analyses the decoration on the pots of the Pitted Ware Culture on Gotland. The pottery from this period is richly decorated with various ornaments, the most common are the pits but other types of decoration occur. The purpose of this study is to get an insight into what the patterns meant to the people that made and used them and what role these may have played in their lives. The author will analyse the decoration on potsherds found from the three Pitted Ware sites of Visby, Ajvide and Hemmor on Gotland. This will be used in a comparative analysis to investigate if differences and/or similarities of the pattern occur between and among the sites. A comparative study of various ceramic found in dated graves with various temporal status from the site Ajvide is also done to see if changes in the patterning occur with time. Since pits are common on most pottery from all the sites from this time they will not be used in these analyses but the focus will be on other type of pattern. / Neolitiska livsstilar Pitted Ware Culture Pitted Ware Stone Age ceramic ornament symbol Gotland Visby Ajvide Hemmor Gropkeramiska kulturen gropkeramik stenålder keramik ornament symbol Gotland Visby Ajvide Hemmor
3	En gropkeramisk rundtur på Gotland : GIS-analyser av gropkeramiska lokaler på Gotland och osteologiska bedömningar av resursutnyttjande / A Pitted Ware round-trip on Gotland : GIS-analyses of Pitted Ware Culture sites on Gotland and osteological assessments of resource utilisation Eriksson, Albin January 2019 (has links) The aim of this master thesis is to expand on the understanding of the resource utilisation on the 19 Gotlandic Pitted Ware Culture sites: Ajvide, Alvena, Fridtorp, Grausne, Gullrum,Gumbalde, Hau, Hemmor, Hoburgen, Ire, Kinner/Tjauls, Rangvide, Barshalder, Stenstugu,Stora Förvar, Sudergårds II, Visby, Västerbjers and Västerbys. The study utilises theoretical frameworks such as Site Catchment Analysis, Site Territorial Analysis and Optimal ForagingTheory and is based on two main questions: Which animals did the diet on each site consist of? And are there any apparent connections between diet and topography/environment? To answer these questions, osteological records have been studied to get an idea of the animal food resources utilised on each site. ArcGIS has also been used to create height- and soil maps with contemporary shorelines which show how the sites were located in the middle Neolithic Gotlandic landscape. The study has shown that most sites appear to have included a variety of animals like pig/boar, cattle, sheep/goat, fish, seal, porpoise and birds in their diet. The sites with the lowest number of confirmed animals also tend to have undergone the least archaeological investigation, suggesting that further excavations on these sites might unearth more animal species. Additional discoveries show a small albeit noticeable emphasis on marine animal resources, especially porpoise, on southern sites. Sites located in areas mostly consisting of sandy, meager soils also show an increased marine resource utilisation. This might suggest that the area around these sites were somewhat barren and lacking in terrestrial prey animals. pitted ware culture neolithic site catchment analysis site territorial analysis optimal foraging theory diet resource food settlement stone age seal shoreline landscape gropkeramisk kultur gotland mellanneolitikum diet resursutnyttjande näringsfång boplats stenålder säl strandlinjer landskap Ajvide Alvena Barshalder Fridtorp Grausne Gullrum Gumbalde Hau Hemmor Hoburgen Ire Kattlunds Kinner Tjauls Rangvide Rojrhage Stenstugu Stora Karlsö Stora Förvar Sudergårds Visby Västerbjers Västerbys Archaeology Arkeologi
