A Prehistoric Rock Crystal Procurement Site at Fiescheralp (Valais, Switzerland)
Rock crystal is among the most fascinating materials in the archaeological record. It is formed in alpine-type fissures by hydrothermal processes. Due to its physical properties, rock crystal has been a valuable resource throughout human history. In alpine regions, it was frequently used for the production of stone tools between the Mesolithic and the Bronze Age. However, there are only a handful of known prehistoric crystal quartz quarries in Eu…
Mining at the Fringes. High-Altitude Prehistoric Copper Mining in the Oberhalbstein Valley (Grisons, Switzerland)
The mining region of Oberhalbstein, to date sparsely studied, has been the subject of archaeological research since 2013. Two mining areas which lie well above the forest line were studied in the summer of 2017. The Avagna-Ochsenalp site includes multi-phased heap features, of which the earliest phase has been dendrochronologically dated to the 11th century BC. In Cotschens, mining traces in an area of approximately 0.1 km2 from an unknown time p…

Prehistoric copper pyrotechnology in the Swiss Alps
Human occupations of mountain environments
Population genomics of Bronze Age Eurasia
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…
Switzerland and the Central Alps
This article centres on the Bronze Age in Switzerland and the Central Alps, where several geographical zones were considered fit for settlement activity. It describes the start of the Bronze Age as a period of favourable climatic conditions, which slowly deteriorated during the middle of the second and early first millennium BC. In some areas of the Inner Alps, however, a major phase of settlement expansion and intensification occurred during the…
Radiocarbon Dates and the Earliest Colonization of East Polynesia
Over the last 30 yr, there has been an ongoing debate on the dates and modes of the earliest colonization of East Polynesia, namely the Cook Islands, the 5 archipelagos of French Polynesia, the Hawai'i Islands, Easter Island, and New Zealand. At least 3 alternative models were proposed by Sinoto, Anderson, Kirch, and Conte, but interestingly all these models basically relied on the same set of roughly 200 radiocarbon dates on various organic mate…
Preface From the Editors
The 5th International Radiocarbon and Archaeology Symposium was held at the ETH Zurich between March 26th and 28th, 2008. A total of 164 participants (including 47 students) from 28 countries attended the symposium. We had presentations of 13 invited speakers who opened 6 thematic/topic sessions that included 31 oral presentations and 49 posters

The Cetina group and the transition from Copper to Bronze Age in Dalmatia
Dalmatia, on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, is a region of contact between the several worlds of the early metal ages-the Danube region inland, the Adriatic coasts and beyond towards the sea. New finds from caves and burial mounds, and new radiocarbon dates help tease out complexities in the region's cultural order
Eine alpine Siedlung der Bronze- und Eisenzeit in Airolo-Madrano (Kt. Tessin, Schweiz) - archäologische und paläoökologische Grundlagen
An alpine settlement of the Bronze and Iron Age in Airolo-Madrano (Ticino, Switzerland) – archaeological and palaeo-ecological basics This paper presents first results of the excavations in the Bronze and Iron Age settlement of Airolo-Madrano in the Alpine Ticino valley (Switzerland), particularly concerning its settlement history, material culture, economic background and environmental setting. The coherently acquired and interdisciplinarily ana…
