Keep the discussion going! Our response to Nielsen’s comment
This article offers a response to Nielsen’s commentary on the authors’ earlier study Variation in the number of radiocarbon ( 14 C) dates does not equal change in Neolithic population size over time . Clarifying some misunderstandings in Nielsen’s commentary, the authors emphasise the value in continuous critical dialogues in advancing archaeological research on prehistoric demography

Transdisciplinary Theoretical Approaches to Migration Studies in Archaeology
Migration is an established topic in archaeology, approached by researchers in multiple ways. We argue, however, that new ways of thinking are needed to understand migration in new ways in relation to new results coming from ancient DNA studies and other archaeometric analysis. We apply a transdisciplinary approach and engage with (critical) migration studies, critical heritage studies and archaeology to unwrap essential theoretical aspects of mi…
Early Neolithic flint extraction in south-western Sweden
Recent studies relate the introduction of Early Neolithic flint mining practices to the migration and rapid expansion of agricultural groups from north-western continental Europe into present-day Britain and southern Scandinavia. Here, the authors critically analyse this hypothesis, using a case study from south-western Sweden to demonstrate how transregional processes played out locally with their own dynamics, c. 4000 BC. They conclude that mig…
On the Shore
In 2006 a palisade enclosure dated to the late Middle Neolithic was excavated at Bunkeflostrand, Malmö, Sweden. The excavation of pits and wells containing flints, animal bones and pottery revealed a wide range of activities at the site, which is exceptional in comparison with most other palisade enclosures of southern Scandinavia. Palisade enclosures have emerged as places of great significance to our understanding of cultural relations traditio…
Mary Had a Little Ram
The Spanish Mission to Dra Abu el-Naga (Proyecto Djehuty) has been working in the Eighteenth Dynasty Theban Tombs of Djehuty (TT 11) and Hery (TT 12) and their environs since 2002. The excavators uncovered a deposit west of the courtyard of TT 11, consisting of a wrapped ram, a wooden coffin, and a dense deposit of pottery sherds. This is possibly one of the earliest excavated animal burials in the Theban area, and unusual in the fact that it is …
A Highly Precise Chronology for the Process of Neolithization in Southern Scandinavia
In 2013, one of Sweden’s largest archaeological excavations started in association with the building of the European Spallation Source (ESS) multidisciplinary research center in Lund. The 160 radiocarbon dates that were produced for the project represent the most exhaustive dating program for a Scandinavian site so far and provide evidence for the human impact and activities on the site from the Mesolithic to the Iron Age. This article presents t…
Houses and Hierarchies
Research on Late Neolithic–Early Bronze Age society in southernmost Scandinavia has to a large extent focused on the creation of social hierarchy and on elite networks upheld by individuals. This has meant that the importance of collective strategies has been underplayed. In the south-west corner of Sweden, about eighty house remains from the Late Neolithic and the earliest Bronze Age have been excavated within a small area. It is the largest con…
The palisade enclosure at Hyllie, SW Scania
Malmö Heritage carried out an archaeological excavation of the Middle Neolithic palisade enclosure at Hyllie in Malmö in 2001–2002, including the remaining parts of the enclosure that had not been investigated previously and some areas outside the palisades. This made it the most extensively excavated palisade enclosure in Scandinavia so far. The radiocarbon results and finds in post-holes and a few other related features place the enclosure with…
