This article explores the potential of engaging the public in an ongoing interdisciplinary research project on castle inventories at the universities of Salzburg and Innsbruck. Our aim is to create a digital platform that uses inventories as a key to explore the living conditions in late medieval and early modern castles. In this article, we want t...

Die Plattform ortsnamen.ch – Eine Rezension der Plattform anhand des Zürcher Siedlungsnamenbuches.

This paper outlines the construction of the corpus Alpenwort, a large, genre-based corpus of German texts on alpinism. We report on issues related to building the corpus from the Austrian Alpine Club Journal (1869–2010). First, a general description of our data and the project phases from digitization and annotation to publication is given. We focu...

ROMANISCH-BAIRISCHER SPRACHKONTAKT IM OSTTIROLER PUSTERTAL Riassunto. Il Tirolo sudorientale all'inizio del ventesimo secolo è stato spesso territorio di indagine onomastica. L'interesse per questa regione nei decenni a seguire si era un poco assopito, ma negli ultimi anni esso è in crescendo. Questo è merito soprattutto del maggior numero di dati...

The small alpine district of East Tyrol (Austria) has an exceptional demographic history. It was contemporaneously inhabited by members of the Romance, the Slavic and the Germanic language groups for centuries. Since the Late Middle Ages, however, the population of the principally agrarian-oriented area is solely Germanic speaking. Historic facts a...

Intergenerational migration distances. Father-proband (panel A), grandfather-proband (panel B), grandfather-father (panel C), and grandfather-father-proband (panel D) migration distances were determined as present-day road distances between the probands', their fathers', and paternal grandfathers' places of birth/residence. ETA: East Tyrol region A...

Amplification/sequencing primers. The sequences of the primers used for PCR amplification and sequencing were either taken from the literature [51], [65]–[69] or designed in-house. (DOC)

Amplicon sequences. Overview of the sequences of all PCR products generated for genotyping the haplogroup diagnostic Y-SNPs [11], [51], [59], [60], [71]–[80]. All sequences are shown in Y chromosome+strand orientation. PCR primer binding regions are depicted by upper case, bold face letters, those for single base extension primers are underlined. S...

Spatial autocorrelation analysis. Correlograms plotting the spatial autocorrelation coefficient (r) as a function of geographical distance class. Dashed lines indicate the upper and lower bounds of the 95% confidence belt for r as obtained by random shuffling. Spatial structuring is inferred when the measured r value for a particular distance class...

Principal coordinates analysis at the fathers-level. Plots showing the first and second principal coordinates determined by PCA using both pairwise FST (panels A, B) and SHUA (panels C, D) distances, as obtained for the Y-STR haplotypes comprised in the combined and subdivided East Tyrolean population sample and a set of ten reference datasets. For...

Principal coordinates analysis at the grandfathers-level. Plots showing the first and second principal coordinates determined by PCA using both pairwise FST (panels A, B) and SHUA (panels C, D) distances, as obtained for the Y-STR haplotypes comprised in the combined and subdivided East Tyrolean population sample and a set of ten reference datasets...

Y-SNP marker related information. Supporting information regarding the binary Y-chromosomal markers analyzed in this study. Haplogroup designations were taken from the literature [12], [43], [51]–[53], [59]–[64] and the ISOGG 2012 tree (International Society of Genetic Genealogy 2012, http://www.isogg.org/tree/index.html). (XLS)

Oligonucleotides used for 19-plex single nucleotide primer extension. The primer sequences were either taken from the literature [65]–[68], [70] or designed in-house. (DOC)

Y-STR profiles and Y-SNP haplogroup assignments. The regions of birth/residence, the 17-locus Y-STR haplotypes, and the Y-SNP haplogroup assignments are shown for all probands. (XLS)

Standard diversity indices for the Y-chromosomal 17 locus Y-STR haplotypes. For analyses under the two and three generations of residence criterion, the probands' profiles were allocated to the fathers' and paternal grandfathers' places of birth/residence, respectively. (XLS)

Pairwise FST distances between East Tyrolean municipalities. Pairwise comparisons between the East Tyrolean municipalities were derived from Y-STR haplotypes. FST values, as computed with Arlequin, are shown below and P values (10,040 permutations) above the diagonal. (XLS)

Binary Y-SNP haplogroup tree. Phylogenetic tree depicting the relationships among the binary Y-chromosomal haplogroups defined by the 27 SNPs analyzed in this study. Markers that were typed by Sanger sequencing instead of a multiplexed PCR/single nucleotide primer extension assay are indicated by italicised bold typeface SNP designations. (TIF)

Year of birth statistics. Box-and-Whiskers plots summarizing the probands', their fathers', and paternal grandfathers' year of birth statistics. The whiskers depict the lowest (highest) datum falling within the 1.5×(Q3-Q1) interquartile range below (above) the first (third) quartile. Data points outside the 1.5 interquartile ranges are shown as dot...

Sampling statistics. Sampling coverage and geographic localizations of the East Tyrolean municipalities are shown. (XLS)

Average road distances. Average pairwise road-distances among all municipalities in the respective East Tyrolean regions and valleys are shown. (XLS)

Y-SNP haplogroup frequencies. The absolute and relative Y-chromosomal SNP haplogroup frequencies that were obtained for the East Tyrolean population sample and its sub-samples from regions A and B are shown. For analyses under the two and three generations of residence criterion, the probands' Y-SNP profiles were allocated to the fathers' and pater...

Pairwise FST and P Values. Pairwise comparisons between the East Tyrolean and ten reference population samples at the haplotypic level. FST values, as computed with Arlequin, are shown below and P values (5,040 permutations) above he diagonal. For analyses under the two and three generations of residence criterion, the probands' profiles were alloc...
