    • The empirical basis for research on farming settlements in northern Norway 1200 BC – 0 

      Arntzen, Johan Eilertsen (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2013)
      Palynological investigations show that farming became a considerable part of the subsistence economy amongst coastal settlements in northern Norway around 1200-1100 BC. Through a relatively small number of stray finds of Nordic Bronze Age character it is clear that these settlements have had connections to the South. Until recently these findings have not been backed up by settlement data. Two ...

    • Ergotism in Norway, part I: The symptoms and their interpretation from the late Iron Age to the seventeenth century. 

      Alm, Torbjørn; Elvevåg, Brita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Ergotism is a horrendous disease with grotesque symptoms caused by ingesting specific ergot alkaloids. Mass poisoning episodes are attributable to consumption of grain – usually rye – infected with the fungus Claviceps purpurea. By focusing on possible cases of ergotism, we re-examine Norwegian history from the sagas through to the end of the seventeenth century. Our review – not intended to be ...

    • The Ervika Runestone and Other Evidence for the Early Christianization of Northern Norway 

      Spangen, Marte; Henriksen, Jørn Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      In the early 1980s, a runestone fragment with a Christian inscription from the early eleventh century was discovered in Harstad town, northern Norway, in excavated masses originating from the farm Ervika. Runestones are very rare archaeological finds in this region, but, despite being included in runological overviews, the Ervika stone has not been studied or published by archaeologists or historians. ...

    • Ethnobotany of Heracleum persicum Desf. ex Fisch., an invasive species in Norway, or how plant names, uses, and other traditions evolve 

      Alm, Torbjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Heracleum persicum was introduced to Norway as an ornamental in the 1830′s. Towards the end of the 19th century, it started spreading outside gardens, later to become a frequent sight in the major towns and settlements of North Norway – and a veritable pest plant. During the last 100 years or so, a substantial ethnobotanical tradition related to the species has evolved, demonstrating that folk ...

To arkeologer og en gravemaskinfører åpnet sjaktene. Paleobotaniker var én dag i felt og stod for prøveuttakning. I profilen identifiseres tre dyrkingslager. Et ble datert til førromersk jernalder, 400–150 f.Kr., et til vikingtida / tidlig middelalder ...

    • Evolutionary consequences of genomic deletions and insertions in the woolly mammoth genome 

      van der Valk, Tom; Dehasque, Marianne; Chacón-Duque, J. Camilo; Oskolkov, Nikolay; Vartanyan, Sergey; Heintzman, Peter D.; Pečnerová, Patrícia; Díez-del-Molino, David; Dalén, Love (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-01)
      Woolly mammoths had a set of adaptations that enabled them to thrive in the Arctic environment. Many mammoth-specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) responsible for unique mammoth traits have been previously identified from ancient genomes. However, a multitude of other genetic variants likely contributed to woolly mammoth evolution. In this study, we sequenced two woolly mammoth genomes and ...

      In recent years, soapstone research has developed into a multidisciplinary field encompassing a broad range of topics and methodological approaches. Interdisciplinary research now attracts more interest and has contributed significantly to the identification of quarries and understanding of the distribution and use of soapstone. Most collaborative projects have related to certain geographic or ...

    • Failure of two consecutive annual treatments with ivermectin to eradicate the reindeer parasites (Hypoderma tarandi, Cephenemyia trompe and Linguatula arctica) from an island in northern Norway. 

      Nilssen, Arne C.; Hemmingsen, Willy; Haugerud, Rolf E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2002)
      The highly efficient endectocide ivermectin is used to reduce the burden of parasites in many semidomestic reindeer herds in northern Fennoscandia. In the autumn of 1995 and 1996 all reindeer on the island of Silda (42 km2) were treated with ivermectin in an attempt to eradicate the warble fly (Hypoderma (=Oedemagena) tarandi (L.)), the nose bot fly (Cephenemyia trompe (Modeer)) (Diptera: Oestridae) ...

    • Fear and Fascination: Anti-Landscapes between Material Resistance and Material Transcendence 

      Bigell, Werner (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2014-11-01)
      This article examines the mechanisms that turn landscapes into anti-landscapes: projection, material interference, and ideological contradiction. Landscape and anti-landscape are dialectical twins; whereas landscape affirms cultural and aesthetic values, anti-landscape negates them through material resistance. This negation creates a sense of material transcendence, the aesthetic appeal through ...

    • Fern rhizomes as fodder in Norway 

      Alm, Torbjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-06)
      Background: Although ferns are often known under collective names in Norway, e.g. blom, a substantial number of vernacular names for individual fern species are known, in particular for useful or poisonous taxa. In the past, the rhizomes (Norwegian: moldfôr) of selected species were collected for fodder. Only scattered records of such use are available from southern Norway, and the tradition’s ...
