New York City has emerged as the global epicenter for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The city's public health system, Health + Hospitals, been key to response because its vulnerable patient population is disproportionately affected by disease. As number of cases rose in city, NYC Hospitals carried out plans greatly expand critical care capacity. Primary intensive unit (ICU) spaces were identified and upgraded needed, new ICU created emergency departments, procedural areas,...
In this paper, animal offerings at Sámi sacrificial sites, sieidi (SaaN), will be discussed from an archaeological and a zooarchaeological point of view. Offerings are seen as part daily subsistence activities where the border between sacred profane was fuzzy transient. We take position that cannot interpreted ritual actions clearly separated everyday life, but, rather, we have to into account relationship livelihood dynamic one in holistic worldview. discuss finds three sites examples claim...
This paper presents new osteometric and stable isotope evidence of Sámi reindeer offerings. Previous archaeological studies have shown that domestication intensification herding transformed indigenous religion. However, because the methodological challenges in identification wild domesticated record, exact nature relationship between people offered has remained elusive. To address this problem, we analyze zooarchaeological data from thirteen offering sites situated Finland Sweden dating to...
Reindeer herding emerged among the indigenous Sámi of Northern Fennoscandia between ca. 800 and 1500 CE. While details reindeer domestication process are still actively debated, it has been hypothesized that transition to affected ritual practice, especially animal offerings given at various sacred sites. To explore this hypothesis, we analyzed DNA from bone samples dating 1200–1700 CE offering sites located in present-day Finland as well originating ancient dwelling site Southern Kola...
Some time during the late 5th millennium cal BC (cal), East Baltic amber imports began to reach Finland, where it occurred associated with so-called Typical Comb ware (TCW, c. 4100–3500 BC). Imports of this rare fossil resin continue through remaining Finnish Middle Neolithic, but seem dwindle by end 3rd (Äyräpää, 1945, 1960; Luho, 1962; Edgren, 1966, 1992; Siiriäinen, 1967; Rankama, 1977; Torvinen, 1979; Koivunen, 1996, 2006; Oikarinen, 1998; Franzén, 2009).

Abstract. The present paper concentrates on the use of remote sensing by satellite imagery for detecting ancient tracks and roads in area between Palmyra Euphrates Syria. Syrian desert was traversed caravans already Bronze Age, during Greco-Roman period traffic increased with Silk Road trade as well military missions annexing areas into empires. SYGIS - Finnish archaeological survey mapping project traced, recorded documented sites region Jebel Bishri Central Syria 2000-2010 before outbreak...
The author examines the competing hypotheses that have been advanced to explain origin and migration routes of Finns, including suggestion they formerly inhabited parts North European plain immediately south Scandinavia during latter part Wurm glaciation. As ice retreated northwards at end Fourth or glaciation, ancestors Finns similarly moved into Finland from a more easterly plain, along eastern rim expanding lake which later became Baltic Sea. Key Words: Saami, Finno-Ugric languages,...
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact a new malaria protocol introduced in 2007 at Nyarugusu Refugee Camp. In accordance with protocol, delivery diagnostic test (rapid or microscopy) made compulsory prior administration antimalarial drugs (ACTs: artemisinin-based combination therapies). We collected camp clinic records on outpatient diagnoses from 2004 through and compared morbidity percentages attributed during these years, as well actual incidence 2006 2007. Our...
During the fourth millennium B.C. northern coast on Finnish side of Botnian Bay seems to have experienced major social and economic developments that continued flourish throughout third millennium. These are manifested in form new asbestos-tempered wares, an abundance exotic goods, clusters semi-subterranean houses village-like patterns, erection cairns megastructures. All these features suggest a certain degree sedentism complexity, both probably triggered by surplus food goods provided...
Summary: Mummified human remains have been preserved in the cool, well-ventilated crypts of old Finnish churches, which were popular burial sites among elite early modern period. Here, authors present results a computed tomography study an 17th-century vicar Keminmaa. They examined preservation his and made several pathological findings; causes latter possibly had severe impact on health. He was large man who achieved relative longevity for time, although he suffered from conditions related...
Abstract. Traditionally polygonal tower tombs dating from the Greco-Roman era, especially found in area of Syro-Mesopotamia, have only been treated as funerary structures without discussion their other possible purposes. In this paper we wish to inquire whether they had functions well. The most famous examples these types are situated Palmyra Syria. They built limestone, follow a square layout, and some exceed height 20 m. Similar Euphrates valley Finnish project SYGIS that worked...
This is a story about 39 000-year-old reindeer antler found in Tornio, southern Finnish Lapland, nearly 60 years ago. It based on personal experiences and memories that involve Björn Kurtén. begins with the discovery of observations interpretations made 20th century, followed by revision those light old new archaeological paleoenvironmental data. These suggest during Lapland's MIS 3 ice-free conditions was shed bull somewhere Tornio river valley subsequently transported down to its site....
Abstract. Nowadays we can travel by GoogleEarth 3D to Syria (http://www.worldcountries.info/GoogleEarth/GoogleEarth-Syria.php) and zoom in on the desert landscape of mountainous region Jebel Bishri between Euphrates river Syrian Desert. This is area, where Finnish archaeological survey mapping project SYGIS worked 2000-2010 studying relationship humans with their environment from ancient times present. What kind views visions did ancients have how they utilize them? The present paper focuses...
Abstract. Remote sensing has provided a modern wider perspective to approach the earth with its various environments and impact of humans by prospecting previously unknown frontiers human life. The traces mobile groups are archaeologically often more difficult detect than those sedentary ones, but new approaches methods have changed enhanced ways extract archaeological information hunter-gatherers pastoral nomads. sensing, for example, provides alternative views from above better visibility...
Abstract In mid‐18th‐century Sweden, the newly enhanced census records revealed higher‐than‐expected infant mortality rates in certain regions of kingdom. This convinced contemporary elite men common women deliberately refusing to breastfeed out vanity and lack care. One worst terms was province Ostrobothnia, located area what is now Finland. To explore allegations, we measured carbon (δ 13 C) nitrogen 15 N) stable isotope ratios collagen incremental crown dentin segments permanent first...
