Marcus Frid (OFL) ‘Birds of the Baltic Islands’:

The research project aims to expand and nuance the osteoarchaeological research concerning the role of birds in the Late Iron Age burial traditions on the islands in the Baltic Sea. By focusing more on the graves belonging to the general population, the project aims to concentrate on the potential differences between the use of birds on the mainland and the islands. By using the theme of “lived religion” as a theoretical stepping stone, the research project hopes to provide a more nuanced image of the burial traditions in the Baltic Sea area. Furthermore, the research also hopes to give the islands more agency within archaeological research, further emphasizing that the reflexive exchange of ideas, traditions, and religious concepts occurred just as much over land as over water.

Alicia Muriel González (AFL/CPG) ‘Investigating Human and Animal Relations in Prehistoric Central Europe Through Genomics’:

The development of human societies has involved a shift in the relationship between humans and animals. This project aims to study how the synchronous evolution of humans and animals has affected their genomes throughout history and how this has resulted in current populations. For this, human and animal remains from different sites in modern Poland that span a vast time period, from the Neolithic to the Early Middle Ages, will be analysed. The animal remains will focus on domesticated species such as dogs, sheep and goats; however, wild animals like deer will be added to the study to obtain a more comprehensive picture of the changing environment. 
 

The seminar takes place in room 334 at the Institute, and can also be attended on Zoom
