Investigates social complexity and population entanglement in Norway, 2500–1000 BCE. Joint project between UiO, UiS & NTNU, we aim to interpret biomolecular datasets through a humanist lens. 💰 NFR 🔗 https://www.khm.uio.no/english/research/projects/scapes/
Part of the SCAPES research project - exploring Norway's population history between 2500–1000 BCE - this and other finds from #glacialarchaeology in southern Norway, including shell arrowheads, offer a unique material group we'll use to investigate a time of profound change and lingering practices
Meanwhile, across the globe, a hide-shoe was lost in the high Norwegian mountain, melting out of an ice patch 20 years ago. Devastating cause, yet a rear glimpse into the organic side of the region’s #bronzeage, c. 1400 BCE 📷: V. Vike, MCH / @kult-hist-museum.bsky.social Info: secretsoftheice.com
SCAPES postdoctor @annapp90.bsky.social is currently sampling human remains to explore population development and Norway’s Neolithic transition. Did agriculture arrive with colonizers? Did groups cooperate or clash? Did they eat a primarily terrestrial or maritime diet? #Archaeology #aDNA #isotopes
En av grunnene til at jeg fortsatt er innom Facebook er at en del arkeologiske prosjekter er flinke til å formidle der. Heldigvis popper det opp noen her på Bluesky også, så da vil jeg bare anbefale folk å følge: @scapes-bronzeage.bsky.social
Nice day at the office - gathering water samples near key sites for our SCAPES project - one of our aims is to create a strontium isotope baseline map of Norway @scapes-bronzeage.bsky.social
Project start! SCAPES will investigate social complexity and population entanglements in Norway 2500-1000 BCE. The project is funded by the Norwegian Research Council and will run until October 2028.
