At the onset of settled pastoralism – Implications of archaeozoological and isotope analyses from Bronze age sites in the North Caucasus
Bioarchaeological studies provide a valuable contribution to the understanding of the economy and activities of prehistoric populations in mountain regions. The Late Bronze Age in the Caucasus is an epoch of fundamental transformations that is accompanied by the development of a semi-stationary pastoral economy and ultimately by the emergence of combined mountain agriculture. So far, only a few archaeozoological assemblages from this period have …
The origins and spread of domestic horses from the Western Eurasian steppes
Domestication of horses fundamentally transformed long-range mobility and warfare 1 . However, modern domesticated breeds do not descend from the earliest domestic horse lineage associated with archaeological evidence of bridling, milking and corralling 2–4 at Botai, Central Asia around 3500 bc 3 . Other longstanding candidate regions for horse domestication, such as Iberia 5 and Anatolia 6 , have also recently been challenged. Thus, the genetic,…
Vengerovo-2—a Krotovo Culture Site in the Baraba Forest-Steppe
This study addresses faunal remains from Vengerovo-2 in the Baraba forest-steppe—a Bronze Age site associated with the Krotovo culture. We describe the origin of the sample, the distribution of bones in the living space, the species and skeletal parts represented, and the age of the animals. The sample consists of small fragments, which are likely butchering and kitchen waste, as well as the leftovers of production and rituals. Bones of domestica…
Stone Age fishing strategies in a dynamic river landscape
Der Fundplatz Generalka 2 der Jamnaja-Kultur in der Südukraine. Archäologische und naturwissenschaftliche Untersuchungen
In diesem Beitrag wird der Fundplatz Generalka 2 auf der Insel Chortica bei der Stadt Zaporižžja in der Ukraine vorgestellt. Seit dem Jahr 2000 finden hier regelmäßig Ausgrabungen statt, bei denen mehrere Grabensegmente freigelegt wurden. Die Funde, insbesondere die Keramik, sind typisch für die Jamnaja-Kultur (Grubengrabkultur) und auch die 14 C-Datierungen weisen in die erste Hälfte des 3. Jts. v. Chr. Zunächst wurde vermutet, dass hier eine Si…
Dietary inferences through stable isotope analysis at the Neolithic and Bronze Age in the southern Caucasus (sixth to first millenium BC, Azerbaijan)
Objectives Subsistence strategies are of great interest for understanding how prehistoric societies adapted to their environment. This is particularly the case for the southern Caucasus where relationships have been shown with the northern Caucasus and Mesopotamia since the Neolithic and where societies are alternately described as sedentary and mobile. This article aims, for the first time, to characterize human diets and their evolution using b…
Mentesh Tepe, an early settlement of the Shomu-Shulaveri Culture in Azerbaijan
Pietrele in the Lower Danube region
The c. 9m high tell-settlement of Pietrele-Magura Gorgana, situated close to the Danube river, is one of the westernmost sites of the Kod∫adermen-Gumelnita-Karanovo VI cultural complex that spread over the whole Westpontic region during the 5th millennium BC. Until recently tells were equated with the site when, in fact, they represent only the outstanding part of a far more complex settlement system as we now know from Pietrele thanks to geomagn…
Eurasian pastoralists and their shifting regional interactions at the steppe margin
Recent excavations at the prehistoric and historic encampment at Mukri, in the foothills of the Dzhungar Mountains of eastern Kazakhstan, challenge the view that it was a small, isolated pastoralist camp situated in an ecologically marginal territory. When viewed as a strategically situated node within a dynamic ecology of pastoralist activity, the site's archaeology reveals shifting patterns of land use and networks of interaction that contribut…
From sheep to (some) horses
Does the riding of horses necessarily go with the emergence of Eurasian pastoralism? Drawing on their fine sequence of animal bones from Begash, the authors think not. While pastoral herding of sheep and goats is evident from the Early Bronze Age, the horse appears only in small numbers before the end of the first millennium BC. Its adoption coincides with an increase in hunting and the advent of larger politically organised groups
Iron Age society and chronology in South-east Kazakhstan
This new view of Iron Age society in Kazakhstan breaks away from the old documentary and ethnic framework and offers an independent archaeological chronology. Excavated house types and new environmental data show that nomadism and cultivation were practised side by side. Scholars had previously tended to emphasise the ability of documented Saka leaders to plunder and collect tribute from sedentary agriculture groups through military aggression. B…
Fish exploitation in the Neolithic
El trabajo valora los restos de peces procedentes de tres yacimientos del Neolítico medio y final en la zona nororiental de Alemania. En Niedergörne, en el río Elba, y en Klessin, en el Oder, la muestra está dominada por diversas especies de ciprínidos como la brema (Abramis brama), el rutilo (Rutilus rutilus), el escardinio (Scardinius erythrophtalmus), el cacho (Leuciscus cephalus), el ido (Leuciscus idus) O la tenca (Tinca tinca). Desde el pun…
Seasonal dating of fish remains from the Hoabinhian Site Can-Cave (Ky Son District, Hoa Binh Province, Vietnam)
The paper makes a series of cursory remarks on the archaeozoological analyses carried out on a Vietnamese site assigned to the mesolithic Hoahinian culture. Of particular relevance are the fish remains which altogether barely amount to 5% of the identi?ed material. These bones evidence fishing activities concentrating on a single taxon of cyprinid, Mylopharyngodon. Through vertebral growth ring analysis one can see that such fishing was carried o…
Archäozoologische Studien zur Entwicklung der Haustierhaltung in Mitteleuropa und Südskandinavien von den Anfängen bis zum ausgehenden Mittelalter
Based on source material from about 1300 excavations of various periods and regions, this text investigates the evolution of the domestication of animals in Central Europe and Southern Scandinavia. The findings are presented chronologically according to the archaeological timeline - Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman Empire and the Middle Ages.
On the utilization of the domestic fowl in Cenrtral Europe from the Iron age up to the Middle Ages
On the basis of fowl bone finds from 43 sites in Central Europe, using data on the age structure, the sex ratio and the intensity of sexual dimorphism as evidenced in the skeleton of prehistoric fowl populations, the author investigates the development of the use of domestic chicken
