Djurens kulturella betydelse i den gropkeramiska kulturen / The Cultural Meaning of the Animal within the Pitted Ware Culture

Gottberg, Victoria January 2018 (has links)
As humans we function with a biological side and a psychological side. Both of these sides have their needs. We need to put food in our stomach to stop feeling hungry and we need to give things meaning. In a Human Behavioral Archaeological perspective, which focuses a lot on the economical aspect of the animal and the human, the animal was killed for food. But, how was the animal perceived in a cultural perspective, what was the meaning of this animal? This is the question that will have its answer in this thesis. The animal handling of the Pitted Ware culture  will be analyzed from an animistic point of view - meaning, that human, animals and object can have a soul or a personality. This makes the world seem more fluent. The sharp lines between culture and nature, life and death, human and animal get wiped out and we see a world view the modern Western human is not used to. As much as the animal was a prey, it also was a being with a purpose in the Pitted Ware culture. On the Pitted Ware sites at Jettböle on the Aland Island and at Ajvide on Gotland, the seal was the most prominent animal in both the economic and cultural sphere. The clay figurines of Jettböle show some sort of worship of the seal. Among many of the anatomical parts of the animal and human body, the head seems to be of most importance. Even differences within the same culture appear. At Ajvide, there is a clear burial tradition of the deceased humans, whereas at Jettböle, there is not. And as much as the seal is of dominance at Ajvide, the swine comes in at a close second, whereas at Jettböle, there is almost no swine at all.

En studie om gropkeramikernas förhållningssätt kring kollaps och resiliens, med den adaptiva modellen som analysmetod / A study of the pitted ware culture and their approach towards collapse andresilience, using the adaptive cycle as a method of analysis

Lind, Victoria January 2023 (has links)
Gropkeramiker är en intressant kultur som utmärker sig under mellanneolitisk tid på grund av de mesolitiska jakttendenserna. Denna text undersöker gropkeramikernas förhållningssätt kring motgångar och resiliens, genom att registrera potentiella motgångar inom kulturen. Detta kommer att genomföras genom att sammanställa källor från tidigare forskning kring kulturen samt utgå från den adaptiva modellen där kollaps och resiliens definieras. De sammanställda källorna inkluderar gropkeramikernas kontaktnät, ritualer, diet, osteologiska analyser, DNA - analyser och handel. Uppsatsen har avgränsat det geografiska området där de primära källorna inkluderar lokalerna: Ajvide, Västerbjers och Jettböle. / Pitted ware culture is an interesting culture during the middle neolithic period due to the mesollithic hunting tendencies. This text examines the cultures approach to setbacks and resilience by registering potential setbacks within the culture. This will be done by compiling sources from previous research on pitted ware culutre and by using the adaptive model where collapse and resilience are defined. The compiled sources include the social network, rituals, diet, osteological analyses, DNA - analysis and trade of the pitted ware culture. This essay has defined the geographical area where the primary sources include the sites of: Ajvide, Västerbjers and Jettböle.
