Medieval DNA Overturns “Family Grave” Assumption in Swedish Cemeteries
A medieval churchyard is a place of Christian ideals and community traditions. Shaded by stately oaks, the moss-covered graves are aligned toward the rising sun, and the deceased, wrapped in simple shrouds, rest peacefully in their graves, in hope of Resurrection and the second coming of Christ. A recent genetic study by bioarchaeologists from Stockholm University, however, adds complexity to the burial practices in medieval Sweden.

DNA Analysis Shows that Appearances May Be Deceiving
Their analysis of the DNA of 142 individuals buried between the 10th and 14th centuries suggests that appearances can be deceiving. Rather than the ornate tombs of prominent families or plots containing generations of the same family, the cemeteries did not reflect family ties.
“We often assume that adults and children sharing a grave were parents and children or other close family members. In most cases, that was not what we found,” says Maja Krzewińska, Centre for Palaeogenetics, Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies, Stockholm University, lead author of the study.
