Jean Samuelson: MtDNA H11a1 (passed down from mother to daughter, and so on)
My mother is (most likely) the ancestor of a mother of a Viking, from what I can find, there was H11a DNA in Denmark, went to Finland at some point and became H11a1 branch. There were also artifacts found in burial site. Table 4. Individuals with highest strontium isotope values, context data.
Grave: UO, Orientation: NW-SE, Grave size: 180 x 63 x 45 cm, Position: On back, legs spread, Sex: Male, Age: ca. 30.
The individual (UO) with the most
negative δ13Ccol value has the second highest 87Sr/86Sr
and is very clearly non-local. This individual likely came
from an inland region where marine foods were rare or
absent in the diet. t. The individual (UO) with the most
negative δ13Ccollagen (least marine) had the second highest
87Sr/86Sr value, clearly non-local and likely from an inland
region of older rocks in central or northern Scandinavia.
Sacrificed animals are another category of grave offering.
As the cemetery is located in an older settlement area,
it was difficult to distinguish between grave deposits and
settlement waste in the grave fills. In nine, perhaps twelve,
of the inhumation graves (AA, KO, KR, LS, SB, TA?, TT,
UD2, UL, UO, XJ?, AQP?), animals were intentionally
included. It is always only a part of the animal, which was
found in the grave lying next to the feet (4 graves), the
thighs (2 graves), the torso (3 graves), at the stomach (1
grave) or by the face (1 grave). The identified animals are
ox, sheep/goat, pig, horse and red deer.
Animal sacrifices may have been more common with
non-locals, but this association is uncertain. Three of the
graves with sacrificed animals (UD2, UO, XJ) from Phase
1 have high strontium isotope values indicating non-local
origin.

X717 food offering, sheep.
Was also buried next to presumable a slave,(Grave: UN) Female 30 years old. The tooth dentin from the individual in grave UN has a very high δ15N value. The bone value falls within the normal range of the Galgedil population. This difference appears to reflect a change of diet from childhood, due perhaps to preferences, illness, or a change in residence. However, the strontium isotope ratio does not suggest
mobility for this individual.
