Lab Number One Humanity is the master of innovation with millions of people living in superb living conditions around the world today. But as we examine the past it is evident that millions of people lived in harsh conditions especially those who lived by the arctic circle, for example, the Sami people who live in northern Sweden. A question that arises is how did these people construct their huts to keep warm in the winter months where the outside temperature gets cold as -30 degrees Celsius. So why did these scientists decide to conduct this study? According to the text provided, “relatively few papers describe experiments designed to study prehistoric living conditions in different

These studies were conducted into three tests. Several variables that can be identified and tested in this experiment include “fuel consumption and logistics, indoor temperature, CO-levels inside the hut and temperature”. As the open fire was key to the survival of ancient Sami people, the scientists involved must conduct studies to replicate these fires that have been the life line and of these ancient people for thousands of years. Next, we can look at the experiment that was conducted to address the hypothesis listed above, specifically the condition of the open fire. This experiment was separated into three separate tests, with includes testable variables such as “average age of the trees, average diameter, average volume of stem, average volume of branch, average density, and lastly average

First lets look at the fuel consumption. As we can see with statistical data collected from this experiment that the mean value for wood consumption over the course of the year was 26.2 meters of wood, and as we can see with statistical analysis that all three tests consumed a similar amount of wood. As we look to the next area of testing, temperatures in the hearth. We can see with the data provided that Meter A on day number three created the hottest temperature using test number one, where it reached about 408.9 degrees Celsius. So what is the main factor that test number one created the hottest fire? According to the research “longer pieces of fuel were used in test one than in test two and three”. Lastly, lets look at the condition of the indoor climate. According to the evidence presented, the temperature for Meter A is very similar between test one and three, with the outlier being test two. We can look at the mean temperature for all three tests with test one’s mean reaching 60 degrees Celsius, test two’s mean reaching 42 degrees Celsius and lastly test three’s mean being similar to test one’s. Despite test two’s mean temperature being not quite as hot, they’re was a lot less CO2 than tests one and three, which could be caused due to more smoke being produced from the hotter
