  • Białowieża Forest and its archaeological heritage

    Open AccessJoanna Wawrzeniuk, Michał Jakubczak et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2026

    Białowieża Forest in eastern Poland preserves a landscape largely unaffected by recent human activity.

    Changes in the ecosystem may be an important factor influencing the evolution of ancient communities. Wetland sites are among the most valuable “natural archives” for ancient history and environmental change reconstruction. Multidisciplinary research at the Serteya II site, located in the Dnieper-Dvina basin, allowed revealing the sequence of historical and natural events from 8,000 to 3,000 BC based on “natural archives”. The paleolandscape was …

  • Inhilldaugar

    Open AccessJens Schneeweiß, Vanda Haferberga et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2024

    Combining non- and minimally invasive archaeological survey, geomorphological methods and linguistic studies enables a better understanding of the dynamic use of the Daugava waterway from the Bronze to the Viking ages. Results indicate a common origin period of many fortified settlements and also identify research questions about cultural fluctuations in the Baltic-Slavic-Scandinavian contact area

  • Late Tripolye Culture Settlement Spatial Pattering

    Małgorzata Rybicka, D Król et al.ARTICLEPraehistorische Zeitschrift2023

    The Gordineşti II-Stînca goală is an archaeological site located in the northern part of the Moldavian Plateau in Edineț Region. Chronologically this settlement is linked to the later phase of the Tripolye Culture. Currently, in archaeological literature, the problems of human occupation, land management, and spatial arrangement of settlements in Moldova during the Eneolithic are highly understudied. In this paper, we present the results of recen…

    The paper presents the study of avifauna from the hunter-gatherer sites at the Dnieper-Dvina basin spanning time period from the 6th to 3rd millennia BC. A total of 669 bird bones were identified and attributed to 46 different bird taxa, representing resident and migrant birds. They belong to four habitat groups: waterfowl, forest, woodside and meadow-steppe. The dominance of waterfowl birds follows the common strategy of aquatic resources exploi…

  • Small peatland with a big story

    Open AccessAgnieszka Mroczkowska, Piotr Kittel et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2021Citada por: 1Referencias: 12

    Peatlands are important records of past environmental changes. Based on a multiproxy analysis, the main factors influencing the evolution of a peatland can be divided into autogenic and allogenic. Among the important allogenic factors, apart from climate change, are deforestation and drainage, which are directly associated with human impact. Numerous consequences arise from these processes, the most important of which are physical and chemical de…
