Assessing the Development in Open Access Publishing in Archaeology: A Case Study From Norway Open
This article examines open access (OA) publishing within archaeology by using Norway as a case study. The authors present data on research publications ( n = 1,517) produced by archaeologists at Norwegian universities between 2010 and 2021…

Lithic technology before and after the Storegga tsunami (8200 cal BP): Dissolving large-scale regional trends to identify social impact of crisis in western Norway Open
Around 8200 years ago, the Storegga tsunami hit the west coast of South Norway. The physical extent of the tsunami has been well documented but the consequences of the event for contemporary societies have received little attention beyond …

Lithic stories of broken relations after the Storegga tsunami in Mesolithic western Norway? Open
Major changes in lithic technologies are often explained by either migration or crisis. Here we argue that continuity and minor adjustments in lithic production can tell equally dramatic tales of altered social situations. We base our inte…

Metagenomic analysis of Mesolithic chewed pitch reveals poor oral health among stone age individuals Open
Prehistoric chewed pitch has proven to be a useful source of ancient DNA, both from humans and their microbiomes. Here we present the metagenomic analysis of three pieces of chewed pitch from Huseby Klev, Sweden, that were dated to 9,890–9…

First encounters in the north: cultural diversity and gene flow in Early Mesolithic Scandinavia Open
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 interpreta…

The Northern Fringe of the Swiderian Technological Tradition: Salaspils Laukskola Revisited Open
The earliest settlement of Latvia occurred at the very end of the Late Glacial, after the retreat of the ice sheet. Important evidence of this earliest occupation is the well-known site Salaspils Laukskola. Previous research has focused on…

Long-term variation in lithic technological traditions and social interaction: the Stone Age of the Eastern Baltic (Latvia), 10,500–2900 calBC Open
The Eastern Baltic Stone Age is characterized by several major shifts in tool technology. Our picture of cultural change is currently based on typological variation in well-preserved bone tools, ceramics, stone tools, and on diversity in l…

Ancient DNA from chewing gums connects material culture and genetics of Mesolithic hunter-gatherers in Scandinavia Open
The discussion of an early postglacial dual-route colonization of the Scandinavian Peninsula is largely based on associating genomic data to an early dispersal of lithic technology from the East European Plain. However, a direct link betwe…

A technological crossroads: Exploring diversity in the pressure blade technology of Mesolithic Latvia Open
Summary A long‐standing debate in archaeology concerns the sources of technological diversification among prehistoric hunter‐gatherers. This includes the study of the emergence and spread of pressure blade technology in Northern Europe dur…
