Stone head tools from the hunter-gatherer Stone Age sites of Dudka and Szczepanki, NE-Poland
A large collection of 75 stone head tools coming from the Stone Age hunter-gatherer sites of Dudka and Szczepanki in NE-Poland is presented. The tools, which are exceedingly diversified, were divided into 14 taxa. Most taxa reveal a long chronology from the Mesolithic to the Late Neolithic, although the majority of tools belong to the Para-Neolithic Zedmar culture. Tools were characterized regarding shape, proportion, size, mass, raw material and…
Light Production by Ceramic Using Hunter-Gatherer-Fishers of the Circum-Baltic
Artificial illumination is a fundamental human need. Burning wood and other materials usually in hearths and fireplaces extended daylight hours, whilst the use of flammable substances in torches offered light on the move. It is increasingly understood that pottery played a role in light production. In this study, we focus on ceramic oval bowls, made and used primarily by hunter-gatherer-fishers of the circum-Baltic over a c. 2000 year period begi…
The oldest pottery of the Para-Neolithic Zedmar culture at the site Szczepanki, Masuria, NE-Poland
The article presents the earliest ceramics of the site Szczepanki, north-eastern Poland, belonging to the Para-Neolithic Zedmar culture, which existed in the south-east Baltic region. The presented pottery come from the Late Atlantic layers, dated 5600–5100 conv BP. The pottery is discussed regarding the technology, morphological details, vessel forms and ornamentation. Each of the elements shows multidirectional influences or similarities with t…
Forests and foragers
Newly acquired palaeobotanical data, including pollen, charred and uncharred wood, provided an exhaustive overview of the temporal changes in woodlands, which changes are due to the cumulative effect of natural processes and the long-term impact of pre-agrarian societies. We used the unique advantage of the peat bog archaeological site at Szczepanki located on an island in the former Lake Staświn (Masurian Lake District) to get an overview of woo…
