Understanding Chipped Stone Drills from an Iroquoian Village Site
Eighty-one complete chipped stone drills and 115 drill fragments were recovered from excavations at the Eaton site in western New York. The major occupation was an Iroquoian village dating to the mid-sixteenth century. The number of drills far exceeds the number of drilled objects from the same site. Use wear on nineteen specimens indicates their use on soft to medium resistance materials which were not preserved at the site. Consideration of chi…
Multi-Method Archaeological Prospection and Integrated Interpretation. Investigation of the Kreuttal Area in Austria
Since its foundation in 2010, the Vienna-based Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology (LBI ArchPro) has been investigating the Kreuttal, an area located 25 km north of Vienna, as one of several case studies. Different methods have been tested and developed for efficient archaeological prospection. The methods applied include geophysical prospection, airborne and terrestrial laser scanning, aerial photogr…

Archaeology of Nucleation in the Old World
Making the Most of Soils in Archaeology. A Review
Sediments serve as an archive of human and animal activity and environmental conditions through their physical and chemical properties as well as captured biological traces. Archaeologists have been extracting information from archaeological soils and sediments for decades, but recent technological developments, such as the analysis of lipid biomarkers, proteins, and ancient DNA from soil and the diversification of approaches necessitate a re-exa…
Gendered burial practices of early Bronze Age children align with peptide-based sex identification
Gendered burial practices that differentiate between men and women by the way the body was placed were used over large parts of Central Europe in the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age (c. 2900–1600 BC). Until recently, it was unknown if the sex-based differentiation of bodies was extended to children, and if the biological sex of the children matched the classification as men and women placed on the left/right side in the opposite orientation. …

Feeding Babies at the Beginnings of Urbanization in Central Europe
Small ceramic vessels with spouts, from which liquid can be poured, became popular during the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages in Central Europe ( c . 1200-600 BC). Such feeding vessels represent a functional type and are highly variable in size, shape and decoration. Found both on settlements and within graves, their association with child burials suggest they might have been used to feed babies and small children. Combined lipid and isotope anal…
Advances in Archaeological Soil Chemistry in Central Europe
Analytical technologies for the evaluation of archaeological soils have developed rapidly in recent decades, and now support a range of innovative research and interpretations of archaeological sites and landscapes. Established methods, including phosphates and multi-element ICP-MS/OES, have provided interpretations of the use of space within settlements and houses, and the function of specific archaeological features. Recently, portable X-Ray Fl…
A Landscape in Transitions
The Prospecting Boundaries project explores the Mazaro river corridor from a landscape archaeological perspective, using integrated prospection techniques to recover traces of past human activity and environmental contexts. One key research area is Guletta, a zone of dense multiperiod activity situated on the rocky plain above the river. In this paper, we detail results from recent work at Guletta, which has revealed numerous previously undocumen…
New discoveries at Mokarta, a Bronze Age hilltop settlement in western Sicily
Extensive settlement activity at the Bronze Age site of Mokarta in western Sicily has previously been inferred, but the extent and condition of its subsurface remains have never been established. The authors use geophysical prospection, historical and modern remote-sensing data and soil chemistry to identify previously undocumented structures and activity areas extending beyond those exposed by previous excavations. This exercise not only has imp…
Child murder in the Early Bronze Age
The identification of sex-specific peptides in human tooth enamel by nanoflow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS) represents a quantum leap for the study of childhood and social relations more generally. Determining sex-related differences in prehistoric child rearing and mortality has been hampered by the insufficient accuracy in determining the biological sex of juveniles. We conducted mass spectrometric analysis to id…

Motherhood at Early Bronze Age Unterhautzenthal, Lower Austria
This article utilises skeletal evidence (n = 57) from settlement features and graves at Unterhautzenthal, Lower Austria, to outline our methodological approach to researching motherhood in prehistory. Unterhautzenthal includes the grave of a pregnant teenager, a triple burial of a woman with two children and a family grave of a man, woman and baby; additional womenâ s graves include remains of neonates and young children. Comparing archaeological…
Archaeological Prospection
The capabilities of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) were studied in a sand box under controlled conditions.To reduce the size of the necessary sand box, the structures were scaled by 50 per cent and the antenna frequency used was doubled from 500 MHz to 900 MHz.Blocks of concrete were buried to model Roman walls.Initial tests showed a great effect of the antenna orientation on the visibility of the structures, which is difficult to account for dur…
Integrated Prospection Methods to Define Small‐site Settlement Structure
Different human activities produce different material signatures, and therefore integrating several complementary prospection data sets provides a more comprehensive picture of site structure than any one method. We combine magnetic prospection data with soil chemistry and surface collection data from two small late Neolithic (ca. 5000 bc ) settlements in eastern Hungary. Magnetic gradiometer survey helps to define basic subsurface features. Semi…
Place and identity
The multi-layered and multi-scalar nature of the term ‘community’ makes it a useful tool for both particularistic studies and cross-cultural comparisons, connecting scales of community to regional scales of settlement, exchange and mobility. This paper explores three general themes of community: community as place, as identity and as network. A case study of Neolithic communities in eastern Hungary and Lower Austria demonstrates a spatial and geo…
Interpolating geochemical patterning of activity zones at Late Neolithic and Early Copper Age settlements in eastern Hungary
Soilscapes and settlements
It is excellent to be able to present this latest achievement in the onward march of remote mapping, the art and science of exploring archaeological sites without digging them. Using a particularly graphic case study in Hungary, the author shows that deposits characterised by geophysical and chemical means can reveal their plans and the emphasis of their activity in some detail. This is not only a rapid and economic means of landscape investigati…
Engaging with soil, past and present
From raw material to sacred clay, from wall plaster to garden plots, soil plays an intimate role in the lives of agriculturalists. In the lives of archaeologists, however, soil too frequently plays the role of overburden, or the stuff holding the more important things, like stones and bones. At best, soil studies are seen as essential for environmental reconstruction or coming to grips with formation processes. A more grounded approach to interpr…
Early Copper Age Settlements in the Körös Region of the Great Hungarian Plain
This article discusses research carried out by the Körös Regional Archaeological Project from 2000 to 2006 at Early Copper Age Tiszapolgár Culture sites on the Great Hungarian Plain. To build a model of social organization for the period, we incorporated information from regional geomorphological studies, soil chemistry analysis, archaeological surface surveys, remote sensing, and systematic excavations at Early Copper Age sites in the Körös Vall…
Lithic and Ceramic Cross-Mends at the Eaton Site
Two aspects of the artifact assemblage at the Eaton Site in Western New York are examined. First, in what way and to what extent did extensive plowing affect the integrity of the site context? The data suggest that some important inferences can be made. This allows for the second discussion, regarding behavioral patterns. Distribution maps of ceramic and lithic cross-mends, along with post mold maps are used to study waste streams at Eaton, with …
