  • Multi-Proxy Tree-Ring Dating during the Younger Dryas

    Frederick Reinig, Adam Sookdeo et al.ARTICLETree-Ring Research2025

    The world's longest tree-ring chronology comprises thousands of oak and pine series from Germany and continuously covers the Holocene back to 12,325 cal BP. A lack of relict wood from the Younger Dryas cold reversal ca. 12,900–11,700 cal BP, however, challenges the extension of this absolutely dated ring width record further back in time. Here, we combine 646 high-resolution stable oxygen isotope and 795 radiocarbon measurements from subfossil pi…

  • Life Cycle of the Wooden Well at the Early Neolithic Settlement in Velim, Czechia

    Open AccessIvana Vostrovská, Tomáš Chlup et al.ARTICLEPamátky archeologické2025

    Water management in the Early Neolithic period was a significant aspect of daily life indicating the complex relationship between communities and their environment. The wells were not only central to the provision of water but also played roles that could evolve and change during their lifetime. This article focuses on the Early Neolithic wooden well and its infill at the Velim site in central Bo¬hemia (Czech Republic), whose construction has bee…

  • Multi-proxy analysis of an Early Neolithic wooden well in a pastoral landscape in eastern Bohemia

    Ivana Vostrovská, Petr Kočár et al.ARTICLEPraehistorische Zeitschrift2024

    Some of the most remarkable Neolithic finds encountered in central Europe are wells with a wooden construction. These features provide unusual insights into Neolithic societies, their subsistence strategies and the landscape they inhabited. In the last fifteen years, four Early Neolithic wells out of a total of seven such wells known since the 1970s have been discovered in Czechia. One of them is the well at Ostrov, the wooden construction and se…

  • Woodworking and carpentry skills of the first agricultural societies in central Europe

    Bernhard Muigg, Rengert Elburg et al.ARTICLEArchéologie société et…2023

    The process of Neolithization reached central Europe in the 6 th millennium BCE.During this time, first considerable human impact on natural vegetation occurred and the development of sedentary lifestyles in permanent settlements, agriculture and livestock breeding imposed novel requirements on local woodlands.At the same time, the intensive use of wood led to significant innovations and advances in woodworking techniques.Here, we present an over…

  • Découverte d’une mare altomédiévale à Rivière-les-Fosses en Haute-Marne

    Open AccessGaëlle Pertuisot, Geneviève Daoulas et al.ARTICLEArchéoSciences2021

    Une fouille préventive menée en 2017 sur une zone humide au « Vau du Guet » à Rivière-les-Fosses en Haute-Marne a été l’occasion de récolter, grâce à l’étude des écofacts conservés (pollen, macrorestes et bois), des données inédites sur le paysage d’un vallon entre le ve et le viie siècle de notre ère. L’impact de l’Homme sur son environnement a pu être observé avec le passage, au cours du haut Moyen Âge, d’un environnement boisé à un espace plus…

  • Wooden Well at the First Farmers’ Settlement Area in Uničov, Czech Republic

    Open AccessIvana Vostrovská, J Petřík et al.ARTICLEPamátky archeologické2020

    Some of the most extraordinary finds from the Early Neolithic period are wooden wells. These constructions permit unusual insights into Neolithic settlements, their subsistence and environment, as well as into the surrounding landscape. A recent excavation of a Neo lithic settlement at Uničov in central Moravia, Czech Republic, yielded the discovery of a wooden well with a sediment infill from the beginning of the Neolithic period and allowed to …

  • Une occupation domestique hallstattienne dans le contexte humide du Ried de la Zorn à Weyersheim (Bas-Rhin)

    Open AccessEstelle Rault, Patrice Wuscher et al.ARTICLERevue archéologique de l’Est2020

    Un petit établissement rural du premier âge du Fer, daté du Hallstatt C2/D1 par le mobilier céramique, a été fouillé en 2015 à Weyersheim (Bas-Rhin) dans le cadre du projet d’extension d’une gravière (16 200 m2). Il est situé dans le Ried de la Zorn, une zone humide en périphérie de la plaine du Rhin dont l’évolution a conditionné les dynamiques d’occupation du secteur. Il se caractérise par huit plans de bâtiments sur poteaux porteurs. Il est po…

  • Illuminating Intcal During the Younger Dryas

    Open AccessFrederick Reinig, Adam Sookdeo et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2020Cited by: 5References: 18

    As the worldwide standard for radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating over the past ca. 50,000 years, the International Calibration Curve (IntCal) is continuously improving towards higher resolution and replication. Tree-ring-based 14 C measurements provide absolute dating throughout most of the Holocene, although high-precision data are limited for the Younger Dryas interval and farther back in time. Here, we describe the dendrochronological characteristics …

  • Les puits de l’âge du Bronze du Parc d’Activités du Pays d’Erstein (Bas-Rhin, Alsace)

    Christophe Croutsch, Willy Tegel et al.ARTICLEBulletin de la Société…2019

    Between 2006 and 2014, several preventive archaeological surveys of an area of 55 ha were carried out before the development of the Parc d’Activités du Pays d’Erstein. The excavations brought to light more than three hundred, mainly domestic, features (e. g. pits, silos, storage vessels, large pits associated with wells) dating to the Bronze Age. The excavation also revealed periods of human activity during the Late Neolithic/ Early Bronze Age (L…

  • Speed Dating

    Open AccessAdam Sookdeo, Lukas Wacker et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2017Cited by: 3References: 25

    Radiocarbon measurements in tree rings can be used to estimate atmospheric 14 C concentration and thereby used to create a 14 C calibration curve. When wood is discovered in construction sites, rivers, buildings, and lake sediments, it is unclear if the wood could fill gaps in the 14 C calibration curve or if the wood is of historical interest until the age is determined by dendrochronology or 14 C dating. However, dendrochronological dating is s…

  • Diverse growth trends and climate responses across Eurasia’s boreal forest

    Open AccessLena Hellmann, Leonid Agafonov et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    The area covered by boreal forests accounts for 16% of the global and 22% of the Northern Hemisphere landmass. Changes in the productivity and functioning of this circumpolar biome not only have strong effects on species composition and diversity at regional to larger scales, but also on the Earth's carbon cycle. Although temporal inconsistency in the response of tree growth to temperature has been reported from some locations at the higher north…

  • Cruising an archive

    Open AccessUlf Büntgen, Alexander V Kirdyanov et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2014

    Today, there are only a handful of millennial-long and annually resolved tree-ring chronologies in existence. Explicit gaps in the global distribution of these regional chronologies together with an overall declining sample size back in time compel a community-wide challenge to discover new tree ring–based climate proxy records. Here, we present evidence for a yet unexplored palaeoenvironmental archive, define allied research tasks and emphasize …

  • Les tours des Cigognes ou Ribeauvillé (Haut-Rhin) face à la menace bourguignonne (vers 1475)

    Open AccessMaxime Werlé, Maurice Seiller et al.ARTICLERevue archéologique de l’Est2013

    L’étude archéologique des deux tours des Cigognes à Ribeauvillé a été conçue comme une opportunité d’accroître nos connaissances sur l’une des dernières campagnes de renforcement du système défensif médiéval de cette ville et de résoudre la question de sa datation. L’analyse des murs, des planchers et de la charpente d’une des deux tours a ainsi permis de mieux appréhender ses caractéristiques architecturales (plan et structure, matériaux et tech…

  • Climate Change during and after the Roman Empire

    Michael Mccormick, Ulf Büntgen et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Interdisciplinary…2012Cited by: 45References: 39

    Growing scientific evidence from modern climate science is loaded with implications for the environmental history of the Roman Empire and its successor societies. The written and archaeological evidence, although richer than commonly realized, is unevenly distributed over time and space. A first synthesis of what the written records and multiple natural archives (multi-proxy data) indicate about climate change and variability across western Euras…
