  Population genetic studies often overlook the evidence for variability and change in past material culture. Here, the authors use a Mesolithic example to demonstrate the importance of integrating archaeological evidence into the interpretation of the Scandinavian hunter-gatherer genetic group. Genetic studies conclude that this group resulted from two single-event dispersals into Scandinavia before 7500 BC. Archaeological evidence, however, shows at least six immigration events pre-dating the earliest DNA, and that the first incoming groups arrived in Scandinavia before 9000 BC. The findings underline the importance of conducting careful archaeological analysis of prehistoric human dispersal in tandem with the study of ancient population genomics.

  In this paper we explore temporal variation in demography and settlement intensity in southeastern Norway during the Early and mid-Holocene. In order to investigate the temporal variation in demography and settlement we have applied and compared two different proxies: Summed radiocarbon probability distributions and site count data of shoreline-dated sites. The proxies display similar patterns, and we suggest that they indicate stability in settlement in the coastal areas of southeastern Norway between 8500 cal. BCE and 2000 cal. BCE.

  Human–sea relations are important factors in past and present human evolution. Discussions about these relations have ranged from shellfish gathering at beaches to the elaboration of technological, social and cognitive systems for marine foraging. The role of the marine environment is now seen as a primary factor in the understanding of social complexity. Archaeological data and methods are uniquely placed to produce interesting perspectives about human adaptations to the sea through global and local dimensions, geological, archaeological and ethnographic timescales, and empirical studies of cultural practice. Marine Ventures brings together an international collection of papers in which human-sea relations are analyzed in various temporal and spatial scales. The themes covered include initial developments and further elaboration of marine foraging, technological and logistical implications of travelling by sea, interrelations between social and cognitive systems, settlement patterns and subsistence of marine hunter-gatherers, landscape archaeology and palaeogeographic models, and the role of marine resources in human–sea relations. This volume will be of interest to students, archaeologists and researchers from related disciplines.

  Steinalderen i Sørøst-Norge. Faglig program for steinalderundersøkelser ved Kulturhistorisk museum inneholder en helhetlig oversikt over utgravinger av 430 boplasser, begravelser, depoter, fangstanlegg m.m. fra år 2000 til 2017, og presenterer en bred og oppdatert redegjørelse for forskningsstatus knyttet til steinalderen (ca. 9500–1700 f.Kr.) i regionen. I presentasjonen av forskningsstatus synliggjøres ikke bare det vi vet per i dag, men også betydelige kunnskapshull. Den manglede kunnskapen har dannet utgangspunkt for formuleringen av fire framtidige satsingsområder: Teknologi Bosetning og landskapsbruk Ressursgrunnlag og økonomi Ritualer og ritualisert praksis I dette faglige programmet for steinalderundersøkelser presenteres konkrete forslag til strategier og tiltak som vil bidra til å tette disse kunnskapshullene, skape faglig utvikling og danne grunnlag for videre forskning. Steinalderen i Sørøst-Norge er skrevet for forskere, forvaltere, studenter og andre som vil gjøre dypdykk i vår eldste forhistorie. Boken vil være et viktig verktøy for planlegging og gjennomføring av kommende steinalderutgravninger ved Kulturhistorisk museum. Den vil også danne et grunnlag for de rådene museet gir i forbindelse med forvaltningen av våre eldste kulturminner.

  For over a decade now, the field of paleogenomics has been a key source of information for studies of prehistoric human mobility and dispersal. Although the samples of ancient DNA in these studies derive from archaeological contexts, and interpretations of the sources of detected genomic variation are made using archaeological cultures as background information, due to varietyof reasons archaeological discussion is rarely at the centre of papers that combine DNA and archaeology. With this in mind, we discuss the Early Mesolithic in Scandinavia, a case where cultural variability is great in the archaeological record but not necessarily fully grasped in studies that have attempted to combine genes and culture to create a model of early postglacial human dispersal. A common problem for all DNA studies concentrating on Mesolithic north-western Europe, is that the currently available sample material postdates the archaeologically identified timing of the pioneer colonization process and many of the subsequent cultural processes that took place alongside and after the region had been occupied. In this presentation we present an up-to-date synthesis of available archaeological data from Fennoscandia predating 7500 cal BCE and discuss it in relation to the current model of single event gene-culture co-dispersal. We specifically scrutinize the idea that the eastern component detected in Mesolithic Scandinavian hunter-gatherers in studies of ancient DNA can be directly linked to a single population event evidenced by the spread of eastern pressure blade technology along the Norwegian Atlantic coast.

  Modelling combinations of radiocarbon dates using Bayesian statistical principles is becoming an increasingly common method for research into prehistoric population dynamics. It has recently been suggested that results from such analyses should be linked with multiple proxies in order to secure a more robust validation. This paper explores population dynamics in southern Norway throughout the Neolithic period (3900-1800 BCE) by comparing two different proxies: (1) radiocarbon dates and (2) trends in material culture from occupation sites. For this study, 643 14C-dates derived from 204 Neolithic sites were analysed using SPD’s (UCL-method), while trends in material culture from 180 occupation and mortuary sites were analysed using kernel density modelling. The analysis of radiocarbon dates identified three phases of intensified relative population size in the Neolithic, which correlated well with regional changes in material culture, indicating a ‘rise and fall’ of cultural complexes. However, the three phases in the SPD’s did not follow a predictable pattern with regard to the character of the documented settlement activity, e.g. hunting, fishing and gathering compared to local food production. These findings are discussed in terms of how expected grand mediators in prehistoric societies such as migration and food production techniques are to be deciphered from results of demographic research.

  The Pioneers of North-Western Europe project (KHM Pioneers Project) focuses on the prevalent model of early postglacial human colonization of Norway by combining aDNA and lithic technological studies. A two-way colonization pattern has been observed for most terrestrial pioneer and boreal forest species in Scandinavia after the last glacial period: one route from the south-west and another through northernmost Fennoscandia. It is generally accepted that these routes represent plant and animal populations spreading from separate glacial refuges which is manifested by genetic differences.
