Custom is lord of all − The Bronze Age spread of the cremation custom in Northern Bronze Age by using strontium isotopes
The earliest Bronze Age cremations of Northern Germany are non-local. • Children played an important role in the spread of the cremation burial. • First strontium isotope analyses conducted on cremated human remains from Bronze Age burial contexts in Northern Germany. • Establishment of strontium isotope-relevant baselines for Northern Germany. • High relevance to current debates on mobility, identity, and funerary change in the Bronze Age. With …
Combining Magnetics and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for the Investigation of Cooking Pits in Schwissel, Germany
Cooking pits are clearly visible in magnetic maps. Modelling of the anomalies provides a 3D localization and magnetic properties of the pits. Depth of pits determined from GPR are comparable to magnetic modelling
The impact of Lusatian Urnfield and subsequent prehistoric cultures on lake and woodland ecosystems
The Lusatian Urnfield culture (LUc, Lausitzer Kultur, kultura łużycka) was one of the most important cultural developments during the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age of central-eastern Europe, 1500–500 bc . In this article, we focus on the impact of the LUc and later cultures on the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems at Bruszczewo on a microregional scale and within the broad context of analogous processes in central-eastern Europe. We did high re…
Millet and meals
The translocation of broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum) is an enticing subject of archaeological investigation. While the species was rapidly dispersed across Eurasia during prehistory, its adoption appears to have been inconsistent, with evidence for its sudden and gradual adoption, as well as its rejection, observed within and between contemporary communities and cultures. The translocation of P. miliaceum may be better understood through the…
The archaeological record of the Qaraçay River Basin along the northern piedmont of the Lesser Caucasus
This project documents the current archaeological record of the Qaraçay River Basin in western Azerbaijan. Integrating intensive pedestrian survey, satellite imagery analysis and topographic mapping, the study identified 85 kurgans, six necropolises and nine sites from the Chalcolithic or medieval periods. The authors believe this demonstrates the potential for further archaeological studies in the region
Kurgan Phenomenon in the Southern Caucasus
This paper presents the results of a pilot study that combines findings from satellite remote sensing analyses and an intensive interdisciplinary survey conducted in November 2021 on kurgans along the Kurekçay Valley, in western Azerbaijan. Through the integration of various methods, including historical and contemporary satellite and aerial imagery analysis, topographic mapping and geophysical prospections, this research remotely maps and quanti…
Dynamic Funerary Monuments of North-western Europe
This study presents the first extensive radiocarbon dating programme of Bronze Age material from northern Germany, and it combines radiocarbon dates, relative typo-chronological date ranges, and stratigraphic data within a Bayesian chronological framework. We estimate the cemetery complex at Mang de Bargen (Bornhöved, distr. Segeberg, Schleswig-Holstein) to be in use for more than two millennia, which is exceptionally long in northern Germany and…
Inside or outside the house? On the spatial organisation of plant-related activities at the Late Bronze Age settlement of Dobbin 27, northern Germany
In northern Germany, crop diversity was much greater in the Late Bronze Age than in previous periods. To trace this development at a local scale, we conducted an archaeobotanical case study at the site of Dobbin 27, a rural settlement in north-eastern Germany dating to the Late Bronze Age. Charred seeds and fruits were recovered and the spatial distribution of these remains was analysed in order to understand the spatial organisation of plant-rel…
Space not Only for the Living
The article focuses on the human remains from the Bronze Age site in Bruszczewo. The large scale excavations enabled a good overview about the human bone distribution on this site. The material is quite heterogeneous. Beside a regular burial a lot of bone fragments are known from the terrace as well from the wet area. A large number of human bones were found in pits and cultural layers. Of the more than 41,000 bones in total, about 146 fragments …
Consequences of Lake Expansion and Disappearance for the Complex of Bronze and Iron Age Settlements at Bruszczewo (Western Poland, Central Europe)
The archaeological microregion in Bruszczewo located along the middle course of the Samica River, was inhabited during the Bronze and Iron Ages by Únětice and Lusatian Urnfields culture people. Earlier literature emphasised that the valley floor was an extensive lake during the Bronze Age. Our research aimed to reconstruct the Bronze and Early Iron Age development of the lake and its transition into peatland. Using environmental archaeology metho…
First evidence for the forging of gold in an Early Bronze Age Site of Central Europe (2200–1800 BCE)
Evidence of gold processing in the fortified site of Bruszczewo (Poland) is the first testimony of the production of gold artefacts in a domestic Early Bronze Age site of Central Europe. This paper highlights the potential of macrolithic tool ensembles as a key element for the recognition of metallurgical work processes. Moreover, it presents an optimised methodological approach to tackle the application of stone tools in metallurgical production…
Potential responses and resilience of Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age societies to mid-to Late Holocene climate change on the southern Iberian Peninsula
In this investigation, we use a socio-environmental multi-proxy approach to empirically test hypotheses of recurrent resilience cycles and the role of climate forcing in shaping such cycles on the Iberian Peninsula during mid-Holocene times. Our approach combines time series reconstructions of societal and environmental variables from the southern Iberian Peninsula across a 3000 yr time interval (6000–3000 cal yr BP), covering major societal and …
Manufacture, use and management of macro-lithic resources in the Bronze Age settlement of Bruszczewo (Poland)
Contrary to pottery or metal artefacts, macro-lithic tools are still not fully integrated into the archaeological research programs concerning the Early Bronze Age of Central Europe. While such kind of archaeological materials usually do not easily allow typological approaches, their constant participation in several productive spheres makes them a crucial element for understanding the economic processes and the organisation of past societies. Th…
Human impact and population dynamics in the Neolithic and Bronze Age
This paper aims at reconstructing the population dynamics during the Neolithic and Bronze Age, c. 4500–500 cal. BC, in north-western Central Europe. The approach is based on the assumption that increased population density is positively linked with human activity and human impact on the environment, respectively. Therefore, we use archaeological 14 C dates and palaeoenvironmental data from northern Germany and south-western Denmark to construct a…
Cultural change and population dynamics during the Bronze Age
In archaeology, change in material culture is viewed as indicating social or cultural transformation and is the basis of our typo-chronological classification of phases and periods. The material culture from northern Germany reveals both quantitative and qualitative changes during the Bronze Age. At the same time, there is also evidence for ‘boom and bust’ cycles in population density/size, as indicated by changing human impact on the environment…
First molecular and isotopic evidence of millet processing in prehistoric pottery vessels
Analysis of organic residues in pottery vessels has been successful in detecting a range of animal and plant products as indicators of food preparation and consumption in the past. However, the identification of plant remains, especially grain crops in pottery, has proved elusive. Extending the spectrum is highly desirable, not only to strengthen our understanding of the dispersal of crops from centres of domestication but also to determine modes…
New chronological research of the late Bronze Age in Scandinavia
The concept of time dominating in archaeological science differs widely from that of prehistoric cultures. Still, ‘time’ is one of the most important criteria for the reception of cultural and historical processes. Compartmentalising time creates artificial breaches, used as methodical means of breaking down the continuum. This article analyses the currently valid chronological concept for the late Nordic Bronze Age created by Evert Baudou with t…
Anthropomorphe Gefäße in Nord- und Mitteleuropa während der Bronze und Eisenzeit
Die Gesichtsurnen sind ein Phänomen, das in der ausgehenden Bronzezeit und frühen Eisenzeit in Europa in den verschiedensten Regionen auftritt. Diese Sitte der Bestattung in anthropomorphen Gefäßen in Skandinavien, Nord-und Mitteldeutschland sowie Polen lässt sich trotz unterschiedlicher Darstellungsformen als ein verbindendes Element zwischen diesen Gebieten in der ersten Hälfte des 1. Jahrtausends v. ehr. beschreiben. Umfangreiche Analysen geb…
