BCE, involving Indo-European and Uralic speakers in West Eurasia. In particular, Northern and Eastern Europe saw the expansion of the Indo-European associated culture, Corded Ware Culture (ca. 2800 – 2200 BCE). Subsequently, the metallurgy and trading […]

    Synopsis The Germanic languages, including English, German and the Nordic languages, are widely assumed to have dispersed from Southern Scandinavia after the Pre-Roman Iron Age. However, the demographic processes behind their diversification are not yet fully understood. In addition, it is currently not known when and from where the Germanic language group arrived in Scandinavia. […]

    November 13, 2024 @ 11:00 – 12:00
    Lecture Hall IX, Uppsala University Main Building Biskopsgatan 3, Uppsala, Sweden

    “In my research I use genetics as a tool to investigate human history. My special interest and expertise in the population history of Africa allow me the opportunity to investigate both recent population movements, associated with farming, as well as deep human history, which is rooted in Africa. My research group is positioned in the Human […]

    Blåsenhus, UU, lärosal 21:136 von Kraemers allé 1, Uppsala, Sweden

    Abstract The approximately 7,000 languages of the world is currently divided into no less than 422 lineages (= families + isolates) by the orthodox evidential criteria of Glottolog (glottolog.org). Should we believe this number?  To what extent is it subjective, consistent in meta-properties and dependent on the amount of research and documentation? The time-depth of […]

    Talks of the Past (ToP) Open Seminar, 5th Feb, 2025: 6000 years of ancient foodways in NE Baltics: biomolecular methods and social implications, speaker Ester Oras

    February 5, 2025 @ 15:15 – 16:30
    Blåsenhus, UU, lärosal 13:028 (plan 1)

    Abstract Biomolecular archaeology has taken a leading role in ancient dietary reconstructions. The molecular- and isotopic-level information gained from ancient skeletal remains and pottery can reveal a more cohesive but also nuanced picture of past foodways, thanks to its higher-resolution analytical capacities in terms of both obtained information and context-specific interpretations. This talk will exemplify […]

    Talks of the Past (ToP) Open Seminar, 5th Mar, 2025: Prehistoric plant DNA and the agricultural history of the Canary Islands, speaker Jenny Hagenblad

    March 5, 2025 @ 15:15 – 16:30
    Blåsenhus, UU, lärosal 13:028 (plan 1)

    Abstract The intimate relationship between humans and crop plants means that traces of human cultural practices become embedded in the crop genome. Aspects of past cultures not documented in written records can consequently be studied with genetic analyses of archaeological crop remains. Such analyses, however, come with their own particular set of challenges, not the […]
