31	Den gotländska Stridsyxekulturen : migration, interaktion eller regionalitet? / The Gotlandic Battle axe culture : Migration, interaction or regionality? Palmgren, Erik January 2014 (has links) This one-year master's thesis investigates the late part of the Middle Neolithic on the island of Gotland. This thesis has been written without the influence of a singular theoretical pespective, and has therefore seen input from the processual, and postprocessual theories. By using several perspectives, an attempt is made to view the material remains used in the most objective manner possible. The specific aim of this thesis is to investigate whether the Mid-Neolithic inhabitants of Gotland were a part of the Corded Ware culture (or as it is called in Sweden, the Battleaxe culture or the Boataxe culture). Most recent literature has concluded that Gotland was never a part of the Battlexe culture, though this thesis has discovered many parallels with the mainland culture, including the production of similar objects and ritual practices. There are indications that the Gotlandic culture also integrated traits from several other coastal regions of the Baltic Sea, something most Battle Axe settlements did not. After investigating all the data that have been linked with the Battleaxe culture, this thesis concludes that the people on the island of Gotland were not fully assimilated to the Battleaxe culture, but were approaching the culture in both a material and ritual aspects. This leaves the conclusion that the Gotlandic culture towards the end of the Middle Neolithic was somewhat of a hybrid.

32	Neolithic farmers in Poland - A study of stable isotopes in human bones and teeth from Kichary Nowe in the south of Poland Lundmark, Staffan January 2016 (has links) The diet of the Stone Age cultures is a strong indicator to the social group, thus farmers and hunters can be distinguished through their diet. There is well-preserved and well excavated Polish skeletal material available for such a study but the material has not previously been subject to stable isotopes analyses and therefore the questions of diets has not been answered. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of the cultures in the Kichary Nowe 2 area in the Lesser Poland district in southern Poland. Through analysis of the stable isotopes of Carbon, Nitrogen and Sulphur in the collagen of teeth and skeletal bones from the humans in the Kichary Nowe 2 grave-field and from bones from the fauna, coeval and from the same area, the study will establish whether there were any sharp changes of diets. The material from the grave-field comes from cultures with an established agricultural economy, where their cultural belonging has been anticipated from the burial context. The results from my study of stable isotopes from the bone material will be grouped by various parameters, culture, attribution to sex and age. The groups will then be compared to each other to investigate patterns within and between the groups. stable isotopic study archaeological science Neolithic in southern Poland Kichary Nowe 2 grave-field diet study on Neolithic bone material stabila isotoper studie laborativ arkeologi neolitikum i södra Polen Kichary Nowe 2 gravfält dietstudie på neolitiskt benmaterial
33	Information från insidan : En datortomografisk undersökning av gropkeramiska lerfiguriner från Tråsättra / Information from the inside : A microcomputed tomography analysis of ceramic figurines attributed to the Pitted Ware Culture Ericson, Claes January 2019 (has links) This thesis presents how a non-destructive method allows for analysis of archeological material, using three Neolithic anthropomorphic figurines attributed to the Pitted Ware Culture. Anthropomorphic figurines from this period are rare in Sweden and traditional destructive methods, such as thin section petrography is therefore not an option. Using µCT – Micro-Computed tomography as an archaeological method, information can be produced regarding the ceramic composition, forming technique and ornamentation of these figurines. Furthermore, this thesis shows how new advancements in computer imaging technology, such as 3D volume rendering of µCT-data, allows for the reconstruction of organic inclusions. computed tomography ct µCT pitted ware culture ceramic figurines tråsättra datortomografi ct dt gropkeramik lerfiguriner keramik figuriner stenålder neolitikum tråsättra gropkeramisk kultur röntgen 3d visualisering volymrendering inklusioner Archaeology Arkeologi
34	Djuren på Gotland : En studie om djurbensmaterialet från två hällkistor på Gotland / The animals on Gotland : A study about animal bones from two cists on Gotland Lindby, Josefine January 2023 (has links) Den här uppsatsen behandlar djurbensmaterial från två senneolitiska/tidigbronsålders hällkistor på Gotland (RAÄ Kräklingbo 12:1 & Burs 9:1). Syfte med uppsatsen var att bidra med kunskap kring djurbensmaterialet som påträffats i hällkistor genom tre frågeställningar. Fysiskt djurbensmaterial har genomgått en osteologisk analys och sedan jämförts med två andra hällkistor från samma period samt översiktligt med andra stenålderslokaler på Gotland. Resultatet visade en ökning av får/get samt nötkreatur samt en minskning av svin och säl gentemot tidigare perioder. Häst, hund, mindre däggdjur, fågel och fisk förekom också i materialet. Resultatet visade även indikationer på att skinn/päls/ull varit viktigt för människan. / This study deals with animal bone material from two Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age stone cist on Gotland (RAÄ Kräklingbo 12:1 & Burs 9:1). The purpose of the study was to contribute knowledge about the animal bone material found in cists through three questions. Physical animal bone material has undergone an osteological analysis and then been compared with two other stone coffins from the same period as well as an overview with other Stone Age sites on Gotland. The result showed an increase in sheep/goat and cattle and a decrease in pigs and seals compared to previous periods. Horse, dog, smaller mammals, bird and fish also appeared in the material. The results also showed indications that skin/fur/wool had been important to humans.
