2. Betydelsen av kommensala gnagare för framtida forskning : En fallstudie av det tidigmedeltida Västergarn på Gotland
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historiaSammanfattning : Uppsatsen ämnar belysa kommensala gnagare inom arkeologin och förmedla potentialen för vidare forskning. Den medeltida bebyggelsen i Västergarn, Gotland agerar fallstudie där benen från små gnagare analyserats och diskuterats utifrån mikro- och makroarkeologins teoretiska vinklar. LÄS MER
3. 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
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historiaSammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
4. Tillgång, efterfrågan och miljöerbjudanden - En studie av landskapets roll i den tidigmedeltida kolonisationen av nordvästra Skånes skogsbygder

5. Testing the prehistoric settlement predictors: A performance evaluation of environmental variables in north-western Scania
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/ArkeologiSammanfattning : This paper goes over the process of evaluating the environmental variables, which are most likely to predict the locations of prehistoric settlements in a Scanian setting. This is accomplished by selecting variables which have shown to be successful in previous similar study areas and testing the spatial correlation between each variable and known settlement presence.
