  • ICP‐MS/MS for Strontium Isotope Studies

    Open Access•Päärn Paiste, Raivo Suni et al.•ARTICLE•Geoarchaeology•2026

    Inductively coupled plasma‐tandem mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS/MS) enables nearly interference‐free determination of trace elements in different matrices. Furthermore, its mass resolution, combined with mass‐ and reaction‐filtering, allows the measurement of several isotope systems that are otherwise difficult to analyse due to significant interferences. The 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratio has been widely used in geochronology and geochemistry, increasingly also…

  • The earliest pottery from the Ludza area

    Open Access•Kerkko Nordqvist, Aija Macāne et al.•ARTICLE•Latvijas Vēstures Institūta Žurnāls•2025

    Early pottery in Latvia is usually discussed with a focus on Lake Lubāns area in the eastern part of the country. This article presents another regional group of Narva Ware finds from Kreiči, Jurizdika I–II, Kubulova, and Ķīšukalns (Šelupinki) sites in the vicinity of Lake Lielais Ludza. This small amount of material (22 sherds in total) corresponds to the technological and morphological characteristics of the Narva Ware, expands the regional vie…

  • The Corded Ware Phenomenon in the Eastern Baltic Sea Area

    Open Access•Kerkko Nordqvist, Aivar Kriiska et al.•ARTICLE•Archaeologia Polona•2025

    This article reflects on developments in Corded Ware-related material and research in the eastern Baltic Sea area (Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, north-western Russia). It builds upon a manuscript on the Corded Ware phenomenon in the eastern Baltic, completed nearly 15 years ago. Intended as the first modern review of the topic, this paper was not published at that time. Although now partially outdated due to the passage of time, it nonethe…

  • Comb Ware cultures in the eastern Baltic

    Open Access•Irina Khrustaleva, Aivar Kriiska•ARTICLE•Estonian Journal of Archaeology•2025•Citada por: 1

    At first glance, the Comb Ware culture â or rather, cultures â appears to be one of the best­ studied Stone Age cultures in the eastern Baltic region; however, this is far from the truth. A number of questions remain regarding its eastern and southern borders, chronology, and internal divisions. One of the main difficulties significantly complicating the understanding of this cultural phenomenon is the diversity of terminology, which has develope…

  • Defining the Estonian strontium isoscape for archeological and paleoecological provenance studies

    Open Access•Raivo Suni, Kalle Kirsimäe et al.•ARTICLE•Estonian Journal of Archaeology•2025•Citada por: 1

    Strontium isotope analysis has been used in archeology for about 40 years to study the prov­enance and mobility of ancient humans and animals. The interpretation of strontium isotope compositions in archeological materials requires a reference isotopic baseline map that delineates the geographical variation of bioavailable strontium. This paper introduces the first full map of bioavailable strontium in Estonia, based on the 87Sr/86Sr ratio of bio…

  • The transmission of pottery technology among prehistoric European hunter-gatherers

    Open Access•E V Dolbunova, Alexandre Lucquin et al.•ARTICLE•Nature Human Behaviour•2022•Citada por: 9•Referencias: 74

    Human history has been shaped by global dispersals of technologies, although understanding of what enabled these processes is limited. Here, we explore the behavioural mechanisms that led to the emergence of pottery among hunter-gatherer communities in Europe during the mid-Holocene. Through radiocarbon dating, we propose this dispersal occurred at a far faster rate than previously thought. Chemical characterization of organic residues shows that…

  • Archaeological Traces of Hunter-gatherer Seasonal Occupation in Western Coastal Estonia from the Second Half of the 6th Millennium to the End of the 3rd Millennium BC

    Open Access•Kristjan Sander, Aivar Kriiska•ARTICLE•Documenta Praehistorica•2021•Referencias: 16

    Results of archaeological surveys of paleocoastlines in the Western Estonian Lowland are discussed with paleogeographic reconstructions. Mapped sites and stray finds can be dated to the period between the end of the Pre-Pottery Mesolithic and the end of the Neolithic (roughly 5300–2000 cal BC). Uniquely for Estonia and neighbouring countries in this time frame, the overwhelming majority of the sites are aceramic (and the rest feature very few pot…

  • From a Concentration of Finds to Stone Age Architecture

    Open Access•Irina Khrustaleva, Aivar Kriiska•ARTICLE•Documenta Praehistorica•2021

    High-quality documentation that was made during fieldwork at archaeological sites can provide new information for old excavations, even decades later. The revision of the archival data of the Stone Age settlement site Lommi III, located in the border zone of Russia and Estonia and excavated by Richard Indreko in 1940, allowed us to identify the remains of a Comb Ware culture (4th millennium cal BC) pit-house based on the concentration of artefact…

  • Buried in the Dunes

    Open Access•Elena Mikhaylova, I G Shirobokov et al.•ARTICLE•Estonian Journal of Archaeology•2021

    Cremation burials of the 1st millennium AD were probably one of the most spread but the least studied funeral traditions in the north-west of Eastern Europe. In 2013, a single cremation Rosson 11 was found in a rather untypical landscape in the Narvaâ Luga Klint Bay area, by the Russianâ Estonian border. The burial was located at the foot of KudrukÃ1⁄4la palaeospit, 1 km away from the shoreline of the Baltic Sea, in a plain and marshy area. Burnt…

  • Using Radiocarbon Dates and Tool Design Principles to Assess the Role of Composite Slotted Bone Tool Technology at the Intersection of Adaptation and Culture-History

    Open Access•M A Manninen, Vitali Asheichyk et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Archaeological Method…•2021•Citada por: 10•Referencias: 40

    Slotted bone tools are an iconic example of composite tool technology in which change in one of the components does not require changing the design of the other parts. Commonly, slotted bone tools are seen through the lens of lithic technology, highlighting organizational aspects related to serial production of insets, reliability and maintainability. In this framework, slotted bone tool technology is associated with risk aversion in demanding en…

  • Environment and Settlement Location Choice in Stone Age Estonia

    Open Access•Kaarel Sikk, Aivar Kriiska et al.•ARTICLE•Estonian Journal of Archaeology•2020•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 6

    The location choice of Stone Age settlements has been long considered to be influenced by environmental conditions. Proximity to water and sandy soils are most typical examples of those conditions. The notion of the influence resulted from the evidence from a relatively small amount of sites. During the recent decades the number of known settlements has increased to a level where statistical assessment of relation between environmental characteri…

  • Population genomics of Bronze Age Eurasia

    Open Access•Morten E Allentoft, Mateusz Sikora et al.•ARTICLE•Nature•2015

    The Bronze Age of Eurasia (around 3000–1000 BC) was a period of major cultural changes. However, there is debate about whether these changes resulted from the circulation of ideas or from human migrations, potentially also facilitating the spread of languages and certain phenotypic traits. We investigated this by using new, improved methods to sequence low-coverage genomes from 101 ancient humans from across Eurasia. We show that the Bronze Age w…

    The bacteria Yersinia pestis is the etiological agent of plague and has caused human pandemics with millions of deaths in historic times. How and when it originated remains contentious. Here, we report the oldest direct evidence of Yersinia pestis identified by ancient DNA in human teeth from Asia and Europe dating from 2,800 to 5,000 years ago. By sequencing the genomes, we find that these ancient plague strains are basal to all known Yersinia p…

  • Sea level changes and Neolithic hunter-fisher-gatherers in the centre of Tallinn, southern coast of the Gulf of Finland, Baltic Sea

    Open Access•Merle Muru, Alar Rosentau et al.•ARTICLE•The Holocene•2016•Citada por: 6•Referencias: 3

    Relative sea level (RSL) changes and the palaeogeography of a Neolithic hunter-fisher-gatherer settlement site on the former shore of the Gulf of Finland in the city centre of Tallinn were reconstructed by implementing GIS in landscape modelling based on archaeological, sedimentary and shore displacement data. AMS radiocarbon dating of mammal bones from the cultural layer suggests the existence of the hunter-fisher-gatherer settlement around 5.1–…

  • Late Mesolithic Narva Stage in Estonia

    Open Access•Aivar Kriiska, Ester Oras et al.•ARTICLE•Estonian Journal of Archaeology•2017•Citada por: 10•Referencias: 6

    This paper gives a systematized overview of different Narva stage sites in Estonia, describing their artefactual and archaeozoological material, and environmental conditions. We demonstrate the diversity of Narva stage settlement types (sites on coastal river estuaries, coast, coastal lagoons, inland river banks and shores of inland lakes) and economy (marine, terrestrial/inland aquatic and mixed subsistence) in the region. A further site-based d…

  • Kohtla-Vanaküla Weapons and Tools Deposit

    Open Access•Ester Oras, Aivar Kriiska et al.•ARTICLE•Estonian Journal of Archaeology•2018

    Kohtla sacrificial site is a unique deposit of Iron Age weapons and tools concealed in watery context, located in north-eastern Estonia. It was discovered by a metal detectorist in 2013 and thoroughly studied by archaeologists in 2013 and 2014. The two fieldwork seasons resulted in a collection of artefacts and their fragments from the total of at least 400 initial objects. As a result, the Kohtla find is the largest of its kind in Estonia and se…

  • Holocene relative shore-level changes and Stone Age palaeogeography of the Pärnu Bay area, eastern Baltic Sea

    Open Access•Triine Nirgi, Alar Rosentau et al.•ARTICLE•The Holocene•2019•Citada por: 6•Referencias: 12

    The shore displacement and palaeogeography of the Pärnu Bay area, eastern Baltic Sea, during the Stone Age, were reconstructed using sedimentological and archaeological proxies and GIS-based landscape modelling. We discovered and studied buried palaeochannel sediments on the coastal lowland and in the shallow offshore of the Pärnu Bay and interpreted these data together with previously published shore displacement evidence. The reconstructed rela…

  • Environment and Settlement Location Choice in Stone Age Estonia

    Open Access•Kaarel Sikk, Aivar Kriiska et al.•ARTICLE•Estonian Journal of Archaeology•2020•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 6

    The location choice of Stone Age settlements has been long considered to be influenced by environmental conditions. Proximity to water and sandy soils are most typical examples of those conditions. The notion of the influence resulted from the evidence from a relatively small amount of sites. During the recent decades the number of known settlements has increased to a level where statistical assessment of relation between environmental characteri…
