Abstract [en]

The Pitted Ware Culture site Åloppe, Norrskog in Eastern Middle Sweden, is one of few Neolithic settlements in the region where unburnt osteological remains have been recovered. The geology of this area of Sweden with mainly acidic soils does not generally preserve unburned bones well but the osteological material from the site is well preserved in comparison to many other sites in the region. Thus, Åloppe, Norrskog offers an exceptional opportunity to study the deposition of osteoarchaeological material and to investigate spatial practices. This is evident in the faunal remains which comprise bones of seals and fish, and in addition, bones of terrestrial mammals such as boar and moose, that were handled differently on the site. The spatial distribution of mammal remains revealed depositional patterns associated with specific areas, archaeological features and, thus, human activities. One inhumation burial was excavated at the site and several isolated human bones were recovered among the faunal remains. Taphonomic observations and spatial distribution suggest intentional handling and deposition of human remains within a more restricted area of the site. Despite the low spatial resolution offered by the material patterns do emerge and the site may be understood as an arena for human action.
