Abstract:

This thesis uses mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) phylogenies to explore patterns of past human mobility in Oceania. To extend the current knowledge of mtDNA variation in Oceania, 20 entire mt genomes were sequenced and analysed in a data set of more than 144 sequences from Australia, Oceania, Island Southeast Asia and Taiwan. The MinMax Squeeze method enabled this large data set to be analysed with an optimality criterion (Pierson et al. 2006). The analysis revealed two major groups of haplogroups in Oceania, distinguished by the relationships to others outside of the region: an 'ancient' set of typ

Abstract:

The Silver Creek area has been the focus of archaeological research since the late nineteenth century. Many of the theories resulting from this work have incorporated estimates of population, either explicitly or implicitly, into the fabric of their arguments. Topics such as sociopolitical structure, migration, aggregation, and social integration require population reconstructions as a foundation for understanding the processes of culture change. Numerous population reconstructions have been presented in the past for the Silver Creek area; however, much of the data incorporated in the present

Abstract:

The connections between health and diet in modern populations are well established. Numerous studies have been conducted attempting to assess the dietary health of prehistoric populations from an examination of their skeletal remains. The health status of a population can provide crucial evidence in discussions of major changes in subsistence, and, in theory, much can be established from a study of skeletal remains. Assessments of child and adult mortality, stature, dental health, the identification of specific nutritional deficiency diseases and other conditions can provide vital evidence to

Abstract:

The osteological material under study consists of 510 skeletal remains dating from the Early Neolithic (6000 BC) to the Early Iron Age (1100-700 BC). It comes from nine different cemeteries and burial locations extending from the coastal to the inland areas of the study region. The current thesis attempts to explore two major issues: 1) the reconstruction of aspects of life history and 2) the treatment and manipulation of the deceased as revealed by the human skeletal remains. With regard to the former, the investigation of demographic parameters, patterns of health and oral status as well as

Abstract:

Is there more we can learn about the movement of prehistoric Puebloan people during the A.D. 900–1400 time period? In those moments of time when small groups of people dispersed across the landscape and formed aggregated communities. Some of the answers lie in the generally understudied landscape of the federally protected Cibola National Forest in west-central New Mexico. This area is on the eastern periphery of a well-documented Zuni region, and preliminary archaeological site data revealed the potential to further that knowledge. During a 10-day pedestrian survey, 42 archaeological site

The analysis of craniometric data collected from skeletal remains, combined with archaeological data, can provide very valuable information pertaining to biological distance and gene flow among prehistoric populations through space and time.

It was expected that as time progressed, microevolutionary forces caused significant changes in the crania of the various populations based on the relative geogr

Abstract:

The general objective of this thesis is to use ancient genomic data to study the European prehistory. Thanks to the latest advances in DNA sequencing technologies, the field of ancient DNA has suffered a profound transformation and has entered in the so-called paleogenomic revolution. The retrieval of genome-wide genetic information from ancient human remains is now routinely achieved, allowing us to study past processes with a level of resolution that geneticists hardly imagined a decade ago. When we conceived this project in the second half of 2012, only one ancient human genome from Europe

During the mid-Holocene in Northern Vietnam, domestic rice, dogs, and pigs were introduced into Southeast Asia by populations genetically derived from Central China who interbred and traded with indigenous populations.

This research establishes growth and development standards for two prehistoric coastal Peruvian populations. Both dental and long bone standards are presented.

However, vertebrae have unique growth patterns which permit inference into health not possible using traditional paleopepidemiological techniques.
