	Ancient Uppsala
		Uppsala was former called Östra Aros (East Aros) and this place is in fact historically known from sources older than the ones that identify Gamla Uppsala.
		Gamla Uppsala holds several mounds, of which the most famous, the three great mounds known as the kings mounds are visible from far away.
		In some ancient sources (Tacitus Germania), the tribe or country of Suiones, Sveoner or Sveas, are said to be living side by side with a different people, the Sitones, who is ruled and governed by women.

		The Sveas are believed to be the ones that first formed the nation of Sweden, around the pagan (heathen) Asa-cult center in Ubsola, commonly assumed to be Gamla Uppsala in Uppland, Sweden.
		Also see Ancient Uppsala for a description of the discussion on the origin of both the Asa cult center and the homeland of the Sveas.

	Where lies Ubsola - ancient Uppsala?

	Uppsala - Heathen Mysticism
		Such religious practices as the Perchtenlauf, and such cults as the bersekers, as well as the existence of seidhworkers and thules, indicate that some amongst the ancient heathens were drawn towards mystery religion.
		But to ancient heathens the social bond was very important, and one of the chief ways of reinforcing it was through the use of alcohol, the "social drug".
		This is a good indication that they were therefore well aware of a certain kind of social effect of the drug: a tendency for an unusual closeness to develop amongst members of the group, for normal social inhibitions to be discarded, for walls to be lowered.

	Hooke Myth Ritual Kingship
		Another common trait is the presupposition that the ancient Near East was the home of the mythical conceptions met with in the Old Testament.
		Some scholars in Uppsala who had been deeply influenced by the works of Mowinckel and Pedersen, were later to a certain extent influenced also by the British 'Myth and Ritual School' [n5 This holds true especially of the present writer.].
		Further, the theory of a general myth and ritual pattern of the ancient Near East has proved a very useful clue and must obviously be given the most careful consideration.

	Rapid quantification and sex determination of forensic evicence materials
		DNA quantification of forensic evidence is very valuable for an optimal use of the available biological material.
		Moreover, sex determination is of great importance as additional information in criminal investigations as well as in identification of missing persons, no suspect cases, and ancient DNA studies.
		While routine forensic DNA analysis based on short tandem repeat markers includes a marker for sex determination, analysis of samples containing scarce amounts of DNA is often based on mitochondrial DNA, and sex determination is not performed.
