- With a rich, well-dated Early Upper Palaeolithic layer, the Mughr el-Hamamah cave site is key for understanding the Middle-Upper Palaeolithic transition in the Levant. The archaeological deposit consists of two units. Layer A resulted from pastoral activities during the 20th century and Layer B dated between 44.5 and 40.0 ky BP. During Layer A’s formation, shepherds disturbed Layer B, redepositing Early Upper Palaeolithic sediments and lithic artefacts in Layer A matrix. Activity from Layer A’s formation also resulted in spatially patchy percolation and bioturbation, leaving microarchaeological traces such as dung spherulites in some areas in Layer B. In contrast, contemporaneous chemical diagenetic processes from Layer B’s primary formation caused spatially uneven post-depositional dissolution of animal bone. In this article we present a multi-proxy microarchaeological approach to investigate the post-depositional processes in Layer B, focussing on possible impacts on the plant archaeological record. The identification of intrusive spherulites from shepherds’ activities define the limits of disturbance in Layer B. Micromorphological analyses have identified four intact micro-facies in Layer B, representing an interplay of natural and anthropogenic factors. Micromorphological details in bedded combustion features favour the interpretation that associated phytoliths represent fuel traces. Dicot fruit phytoliths occur in the western area of the cave, where well-preserved charred wood and seeds were also found. Grass-diagnostic phytoliths correspond to C3 and C4 taxa, indicating an overall humid environment with dry spells. Microarchaeological analysis identifies traces of both bedded and dispersed hearth materials, mixed with variable plant resources for food, fuel, and possibly other uses. This strengthens the interpretation of Mughr el-Hamamah Layer B as a dense, complicated palimpsest of recurring activities, formed over many millennia.

The fauna from Mughr el-Hamamah, Jordan : Insights on human hunting behavior during the Early Upper Paleolithic

- As a corridor for population movement out of Africa, the southern Levant is a natural laboratory for research exploring the dynamics of the Middle-to-Upper Paleolithic transition. Yet, the number of well-preserved sites dating to the initial millennia of the Early Upper Paleolithic (EUP; ~45–30 ka) remains limited, restricting the resolution at which we can study the biocultural and techno-typological changes evidenced across the transition. With EUP deposits dating to 45–39 ka cal BP, Mughr el-Hamamah, Jordan, offers a key opportunity to expand our understanding of EUP lifeways in the southern Levant. Mughr el-Hamamah is particularly noteworthy for its large faunal assemblage, representing the first such assemblage from the Jordan Valley. In this paper, we present results from taxonomic and taphonomic analyses of the EUP fauna from Mughr el-Hamamah. Given broader debates about shifts in human subsistence across the Middle-to-Upper Paleolithic transition, we also assess ev- idence for subsistence intensification, focusing especially on the exploitation of gazelle and the use of small game. Taphonomic data suggest that the fauna was primarily accumulated by human activity. Ungulates dominate the assemblage; gazelle (Gazella sp.) is the most common taxa, followed by fallow deer (Dama meso- potamica) and goat (Capra sp.). Among the gazelle, juveniles account for roughly one-third of the sample. While the focus on gazelle and the frequency of juveniles are consistent with broader regional trends, evidence for the regular exploitation of marrow from gazelle phalanges suggests that the EUP occupants of Mughr el-Hamamah processed gazelle carcasses quite intensively. Yet, the overall degree of dietary intensification appears low- —small game is rare and evidence for human capture of this game is more equivocal. As a whole, our results support a growing body of data showing gradual shifts in animal exploitation strategies across the Middle-to- Upper Paleolithic transition in the southern Levant.

Deeply Human : Archaeological Traces of Rituals for Coping with Death, Adversity, and Trauma

- When looking at prehistory, we see that rituals have long been a human strategy to cope with change and challenges such as death, adversity and trauma. Archaeology reaches beyond a time accessible through oral history and historical documents to explore a trail deep in humanity’s past. This discipline relies on the materiality of human life: artefacts, building remains, pathways, worked landscapes, and monuments. But the archaeological focus goes beyond the physical to capture and trace human activity, sometimes mundane and sometimes grand. From material traces of ritual practices, we reconstruct ritual actions and analyse them to comprehend how particular rituals might have affected the people involved. Underlying the archaeological study of ritual is a concern about how it shapes human understanding, resilience, and engagement in the world, particularly in the face of crises and trauma.

Clamber of the dead : material ontology and cosmological affect within the hunter-gatherer mortuary traditions of the Eastern Baltic 4000-3000 cal. BC

- The application of clay to the heads of deceased hunter-gatherers within the Middle Neolithic burials of Finland and Latvia was originally identified by researchers working in these regions during the 20th century. This practice stands apart from the deeper-seated traditions of grave adornment which characterise the hunter-gatherer archaeology of the Baltic region during the Middle Holocene. However, the variable extent to which these ‘death masks’ are preserved and recorded has confounded attempts to discuss their meaning or significance in detail. This paper approaches the problem through a discussion of the materials involved in masking, rather than the forms represented by the masks themselves. Through this discussion, an understand- ing of the relationship between material ontology and cosmology emerges, which is subsequently situated within a socio-historical context through a review of the available radiocarbon dates and broader patterns of social change in the Middle Neolithic archaeology of the Eastern Baltic.

- The study of burials has a long and important history in archaeology. The analysis of the human remains, the burial feature, and the artefacts placed with the dead, has been crucial for the development of archaeological theory and interpretation, from the establishments of the first chronologies in the 19th century to complex issues in contemporary archaeology. The archaeological study of burials has always drawn on multiple disciplines, methods and theories, including, but not limited to, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, ritual theory, social theory, molecular biology, taphonomy, chemistry, etc. Through the physical remains of the dead, archaeologists access information about the demography and health status of a population, including disabilities, level of care, infectious diseases, physical activity, and mortality profiles. These remains can also provide molecular information about kinship, migration and diet. The grave structure itself and the material items found with the dead allow archaeologists to propose interpretations of cultural practices relating to identities (including gender and age), the ritual response to death, social organization, and even dimensions of emotion and belief in the past. Today we see an emerging archaeology of death that through transdisciplinary approaches, i.e. an archaeology that combines theses complex approaches not only in the analysis, but also in the very research design, aims at reconstructing the response to death in the past and place it within a complex cultural context (Nilsson Stutz 2016). We believe that digital approaches have a central role to play in these developments.

Virtual Archaeology of Death and Burial : A Procedure for Integrating 3D Visualization and Analysis in Archaeothanatology
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Open Archaeology. - : Walter de Gruyter. - 2300-6560. ; 7:1, s. 540-555
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The reconstruction of past mortuary rituals and practices increasingly incorporates analysis of the taphonomic history of the grave and buried body, using the framework provided by archaeothanatology. Archaeothanatological analysis relies on interpretation of the three-dimensional (3D) relationship of bones within the grave and traditionally depends on elaborate written descriptions and two-dimensional (2D) images of the remains during excavation to capture this spatial information. With the rapid development of inexpensive 3D tools, digital replicas (3D models) are now commonly available to preserve 3D information on human burials during excavation. A procedure developed using a test case to enhance archaeothanatological analysis and improve post-excavation analysis of human burials is described. Beyond preservation of static spatial information, 3D visualization techniques can be used in archaeothanatology to reconstruct the spatial displacement of bones over time, from deposition of the body to excavation of the skeletonized remains. The purpose of the procedure is to produce 3D simulations to visualize and test archaeothanatological hypotheses, thereby augmenting traditional archaeothanatological analysis. We illustrate our approach with the reconstruction of mortuary practices and burial taphonomy of a Bell Beaker burial from the site of Oostwoud-Tuithoorn, West-Frisia, the Netherlands. This case study was selected as the test case because of its relatively complete context information. The test case shows the potential for application of the procedure to older 2D field documentation, even when the amount and detail of documentation is less than ideal.

Between objects of science and lived lives. The legal liminality of old human remains in museums and research
- 2023
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Heritage Studies (IJHS). - : Taylor & Francis. - 1352-7258 .- 1470-3610. ; 29:10, s. 1061-1074

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Collections of old human remains in museums are currently under increased scrutiny and pressure. On the one hand they are problematised from a post-colonial and human rights point of view as the material remains of historic and ongoing structural violence connected to scientific knowledge production. On the other, new methods in archaeological science have led to increasing demand for destructive sampling. Without guidance and support by laws and formal standardised professional guidelines, museums may find themselves squeezed from two opposing sides. Based on an analysis of laws and professional guidelines, and a large-scale survey of the practical handling of old human remains in Swedish museums, this article argues that the lack of a shared professional process that recognises the complexity of old human remains as both objects of science and lived lives, risks undermining the role of museums in their relationship to both the public and the research community.

Comment on Repatriation as Pedagogy by Jane Anderson and Sonya Atalay, Current Anthropology. DOI 10.1086/727786
- 2023
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In their article, Jane Anderson and Sonya Atalay propose that we rethink repatriation. Instead of viewing it as mainly about transfer of ownership, they propose that we also understand it as a pedagogic opportunity. The power of this suggestion lies not only in the benefits of learning, which, of course are fundamental, but also in the realization that repatriation is necessary—not only for descending communities but also for the institutions that are in possession of their cultural heri- tage and ancestors. I argue that while native interest and survival are and should remain central to repatriation as a process, it is increasingly also becoming about the survival of these institutions—their reputation, their legitimacy, and their sustainability. Perhaps we have reached a point where museums and other institutions holding collections from indigenous communities need the process of repatriation as much as the communities of origin.

- The world is on fire, and European archaeologists are starting to feel the heat. With the war in the Ukraine, the rise of polarizing politics and global authoritarianism, and the climate emergency pushing us closer to the tipping point of planetary destruction, we cannot help but to feel deeply affected. In the face of these challenges, we want to act, but what we do as archaeologists can sometimes seem trivial and insignificant. Even worse, a critical examination of our disciplinary history can lead us to conclude that we are complicit in the injustices and even partially responsible for the current situation.

- The electronic sounds of the recreated voice of a male mummy reaches me through the speakers, and I am mesmerized. I know that it is generated from the recreated anatomical materiality of a human being that has been dead for two thousand years. Yet, the synthesized voice sounds electric, as if from a future I have not yet seen. I feel suspended - like a lost point in a scatter diagram in a constant flow of time. Is this a person’s voice I am hearing? How much of him still resides in what is left in his body today? Human remains, from the fresh cadaver preserved in an old anatomical collection, to the burnt, broken and dissolved fragments carefully curated in museums, constitute something elusive and enigmatic that escapes our fundamental categorizations. Situated on a moving scale between scientific specimens and biomaterial on the one end, and the materiality of a lived life and past personhood on the other, they transgress fundamental boundaries of human culture as they are both object and subject, both life and death. In her essay The Powers of Horror[1], linguist, psychoanalyst and philosopher Julia Kristeva discusses the concept of the abject as a category situated between the subject and the object. The cadaver, she argues, is the ultimate example of this. By challenging fundamental categories of human culture, the abject inspires conflicting responses in us, such as horror and dread, even disgust – but also, and simultaneously, fascination and desire. It is this situatedness in-between categories that makes human remains both problematic and fascinating.

- When a human being dies, two things invariably occur: a social being disappears and a dead body, a cadaver emerges. The human cadaver is difficult to categorize as it is suspended between categories – between life and death, between subject and object. As such, it is problematic, and its presence often marks a period of liminality and heightened ritualization, framing off a time when fundamental values and structures are produced and reproduced through mortuary practices. How people handle their dead is intimately linked to other aspects of their culture, and a close analysis of these acts can reveal significant information about prehistoric periods for which we lack other sources into the spiritual and cosmological realm of human knowledge, such as written documents and oral history. This chapter presents a theoretical framework for how archaeology can study the transition of the human body from life to death, and then it proceeds to presenting several examples of studies from European prehistory that in different and complementary ways focus on the handling of the dead body as a point of departure for the analysis of cosmology and lived experience.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Under senare år har det seglat upp en namndebatt på våra lärosäten. Senast ut är Karolinska institutet där man efter protester föreslog att ta bort alla personnamn från byggnader, lokaler och vägar då flera som hedrats på detta sätt kan kopplas till rasistisk verksamhet. Debatten har inte låtit vänta på sig. Är det rimligt att bara städa bort det förflutna, frågar sig en del. Kan man verkligen döma människor i det förflutna utifrån dagens värderingar, undrar andra.Den 2 november meddelade KI att namnskyltarna till minne av Anders och Gustaf Retzius som båda är sammankopplade med rasbiologisk forskning, tas bort. KI rekommenderar också Solna stad att byta namn på von Eulers väg till Ulf von Eulers väg, detta för att markera att det är sonen Ulf och inte hans far, den aktive nazisten Hans, som ger namn åt vägen. Detta är bra, men bör ses som början på ett förändringsarbete, snarare än en slutlig lösning.

Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Repatriation and reburial of human remains is a practice that has been debated within American archaeology and biological anthropology more generally for decades. With the passing of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) in 1990, a shift toward pro- ductive problem solving and negotiation has gradually replaced the more heated tone that dominated the exchanges in the early years. Since 1990, repatriation has fundamentally affected archaeological and museum practices in the United States, and most would argue, for the better. But it remains a compromise with unresolved issues for many stakeholders. One could expect that decades after NAGPRA was signed into law, repatriation would have reached a stage of maturity that allows us to move the debate forward by critically examining aspects of it, while at the same time learning from experiences and acknowledging its crucial role in building sustainable relationships and democratizing archaeology and museum practices. With similar concrete actions to decolonise heri- tage in other fields on the rise, most notably with repatriation and return of human remains and artefacts from museums to communities worldwide, but also in activist movements to remove con- federate (in the USA), and colonialist monuments, including the Rhodes Must Fall movement in South Africa and the toppling and removal of the Statue of Edward Colston in Bristol, it would seem that archaeology (for once) could play the role as a precursor in social movements and decolonisation. However, with the publica- tion of the book Repatriation and Erasing the Past by Elizabeth Weiss (a professor of anthropology) and James W. Springer(a retired attorney and anthropologist), it appears that we might be facing a backlash rather than a progressive way forward.

- Archaeology has always been situated in a borderland between disciplines. However, in recent years a vigorous debate about the relationships between the humanities and the natural sciences has emerged within the field, warning that with the “Third Science Revolution” in archaeology, the important perspectives provided by the humanities are being marginalised, and that this can have long-lasting and detrimental effects on the discipline. This article critically examines the debate and situates it in the context of the development of the neoliberal university and its impact on research and intellectual work more broadly and identifies the underlying ideologies of ever-increasing research output and quantification as the real threat to an intellectually rich and engaged archaeol- ogy, not the natural sciences.

- The sensory archaeology of death reconstructs the sensory experiences of death and the dead body but also of the ritual practices that structured the understanding of death. Given that death is a crisis—both on an individual and social level—the ritual response to death can often act to augment or affect sensory experiences.This chapter explores some of the ways in which archaeology captures these impressions by reconstructing experiences of the scent, sound, taste, sight and touch of death through engagement with the dead body and the material traces of the ritual practices.

What Can Archaeothanatology Add? : A case study of new knowledge and theoretical implications in teh re-study of Mesolithic burials in Sweden and Denmark
- 2022

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The comparative study of the Mesolithic hunter-gatherer burials at Skateholm (Southern Sweden) and Vedbæk-Bøgebakken (Eastern Denmark) underscores that archaeothanatology can bring both more information and deeper insight, even when applied to previously studied materials. Not all information gleaned from archaeothanatological approaches must neces- sarily be the product of applying the approach in the field, but analyses can be highly valu- able in studying older excavation documentation. Archaeothanatology was conceived as a field approach, hence its original name ‘anthropologie de terrain’ (i.e. Duday et al., 1990), and there is no doubt that the approach can be most fully realised when the excavation and documentation of the human remains is carried out in the field and under the supervision of anthropologists with the appropriate training.Yet, as the activity of excavation itself is destructive (e.g. Bonnie, 2011; Demoule, 2011), it seems appropriate to explore the potential of transferring the approach to archival materials.This may be especially valuable when researching archaeological periods for which burials are relatively unusual, the record is extremely partial, and for which there is a need to extract as much information as possible from all available sources.This is certainly the case for the Mesolithic in Europe.Archives are rich with documentation from older excavations that were not carried out with an archaeothanatological approach. Today, several projects, from the Baltic and Scandinavia to the Iberian Peninsula, illustrate that the archival approach can be very productive (Nilsson Stutz, 2003; Peyroteo Stjerna 2016;Torv, 2016).

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A few weeks ago, I was standing next to what is arguably one of the more contested monuments in Europe today: the Equestrian Statue of Leopold II (1835-1909), at la Place du Trône in Brussels. The bronze statue is banal in its familiar form, yet masterfully sculpted by Thomas Vinçotte in 1914. The king holds his head high, his gaze is directed forward and up to the left, and he sits with both commanding and relaxed posture on a muscular horse that bends its neck elegantly, signaling submission to its rider. This is power and control embodied. When the sculpture was erected in 1926, the king had been dead for 17 years, and the country had emerged from the horrors of World War I with the iconic Western Front trenches cutting across its territories. The German occupation forced many Belgians to become refugees, while others were conscripted into forced labor, or killed for suspected resistance and sabotage or simply as the outcome of collective punishment. Germany viewed the Flemish as an oppressed people and made efforts to support their cause, which risked undermining the cohesion of the young nation. The project to raise the statue had been in the making since the death of the king in 1909, and even included a successful public fundraising effort, but had been put on hold during the war. When it finally was erected in 1926 it commemorated the king as builder and colonizer, but probably also as a national hero and a unifying symbol of a Belgian past – happy, prosperous, and united.

Yttrandefriheten och kvinnorna

Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Yttrandefriheten de syftar på berör främst föreläsningar och andra formella evenemang till vilka potentiellt provocerande talare bjudits in.Ett aktuellt exempel på detta är Sverigedemokraternas Rickard Jomshofs föreläsning vid Göteborgs universitet vilken föranledde protester bland universitetets studenter, forskare och lärare. Dessa protester, menar debattörerna, måste stävjas, så att Sverige inte blir som USA, där de menar att obekväma och politiskt inkorrekta föreläsare tystas på universiteten.Debattörernas argument bygger på att i de fall protester mot föreläsare på svenska universitet förekommit så har majoriteten av de som protesterat varit kvinnor. Protesterna utgår ofta från ämnen där kvinnor är överrepresenterade, bl a genusvetenskap, sociologi, socialantropologi, konstvetenskap, kulturvetenskap och globala studier. Anledningen till att det är så, menar de, beror på att kvinnor reagerar emotionellt och inte klarar av att hantera obehagliga känslor och provokationer i samma mån som deras manliga kollegor.

The analysis, which applies the principles of archaeothanatology and is enriched by experimental taphonomic research, confirmed details concerning the treatment of the dead body and provided new insights into the use of burial spaces. Some bodies may have been mummified prior to burial, a phenomenon possibly linked to their curation and transport, highlighting the significance of both the body and the burial place in Mesolithic south-western Portugal.

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna licentiatuppsats utforskar vilka värden som uppstår när allmänheten, tillsammans med professionella arkeologer, får möjlighet att engagera sig i arkeologiskt fältarbete. Projektformen där professionella arkeologer arbetar tillsammans med aktörer ur allmänheten kallas i denna studie för Deltagande arkeologi. Uppsatsen utforskar även vilka praktiker som omgärdar denna projektform samt vilka traditioner och politiska beslut som har påverkat allmänhetens möjligheter för praktiskt deltagande inom kulturmiljöarbetet. Forskningen baseras till stor del på studierna av tre svenska arkeologiprojekt, som alla bygger på allmänhetens deltagande, vilka utforskas genom enkätstudier, intervjuer och deltagande observation. Resultaten visar att projektformen genererar flera olika former av värden och vinster. För den arkeologiska vetenskapen bidrar projektformen till att platser som ligger långt från uppdragsarkeologins verksamhetsområden kan uppmärksammas och undersökas vilket resulterar i en bättre geografisk spridning av arkeologiska undersökningar och därmed en jämnare kunskapsuppbyggnad. För arrangörerna (arkeologer) är projekten en möjlighet att få ägna sig åt långvarig forskning och för deltagarna (allmänheten) en möjlighet att få ägna sig åt sina intressen, skapa värdefulla kontaktnät och vänskaper. Samtidigt uppger båda aktörsgrupperna att deltagandet bidrar till en förbättrad hälsa och välbefinnande samt till att förstärka känslorna av delaktighet till, och i arbetet kring, det materiella kulturarvet.
