Social dynamics in past societies
Beads and the Emergence of the Islamic Slave Trade in the Southern Chad Basin (Nigeria)
Beads And The Emergence Of The Islamic Slave Trade In The Southern Chad Basin (Nigeria), By Detlef Gronenborn (2001, 38:4-11)
The Global Dynamics of Inequality (Gini) project
The GINI project investigates the dynamics of inequality among populations over the long term by synthesising global archaeological housing data. This project brings archaeologists together from around the world to assess hypotheses concerning the causes and consequences of inequality that are of relevance to contemporary societies globally
After the flood and with the people – Late Holocene changes of the woody vegetation in the southwestern Chad Basin, Nigeria
The Zimbabwe Culture and the development of the Nambya state in north-western Zimbabwe
A multi-disciplinary research project in north-western Zimbabwe focuses on the Nambya state of the Zimbabwe Culture. The new research suggests that the development of the Nambya state was contemporaneous with other Zimbabwe Culture states and not the result of a direct migration from the Great Zimbabwe state
A later fifth-millennium cal BC tumulus at Hofheim-Kapellenberg, Germany
In the nineteenth century, two Neolithic axe-heads were reported from the Michelsberg enclosure system at Kapellenberg. The recent identification of an unusually large tumulus, from which the axe-heads were almost certainly once recovered, reveals that socio-political hierarchisation, linked to the emergence of high-ranking elites in Brittany and the Paris Basin during the fifth millennium cal BC, may have extended into Central Europe
The Diffusion of Humans and Cultures in the Course of the Spread of Farming
The spread of farming into Europe some 9000–5000 years ago involved not only the advent of new plants and animals, but also of people, tools, technologies, and knowledge. While they all can be assumed to follow Fickian diffusion gradients, the mechanisms of spread can be quite different: when people migrate, there is mass balance in the number of people, but not in the knowledge and technologies brought along. Tools, plants and animals could also…
Population dynamics, social resilience strategies, and Adaptive Cycles in early farming societies of SW Central Europe
The massacre mass grave of Schöneck-Kilianstädten reveals new insights into collective violence in Early Neolithic Central Europe
Significance The Early Neolithic massacre-related mass grave of Schöneck-Kilianstädten presented here provides new data and insights for the ongoing discussions of prehistoric warfare in Central Europe. Although several characteristics gleaned from the analysis of the human skeletal remains support and strengthen previous hypotheses based on the few known massacre sites of this time, a pattern of intentional mutilation of violence victims identif…
Adaptive cycles’ and climate fluctuations
States and Trade in the Central Sahel
This article suggests that traditional historiography and archaeology would see the central Sahel as having emerged to a landscape of statehood in the course of the southbound expansion of Islam and associated trade and contacts. The relatively recent discovery of extensive walled settlements at the transition from the Neolithic to the Early Iron Age in the Chad Basin indicates what enormous sites and processes may still await recognition. Hierar…
The Palaeoanthropocene - The beginnings of anthropogenic environmental change
The dispersal of farming and agropastoralism in Temperate Europe and Southern Africa
Durbi Takusheyi
Durbi Takusheyi is a burial site composed of at least eight mounds located between the modern towns of Katsina and Daura in northern Nigeria. Parts of the mounds were first excavated in 1907 by Herbert Richmond Palmer in cooperation with the Emir of Katsina and later again in 1992 in the course of a German research project under the lead of Dierk Lange, Bayreuth. After the 1992 excavation, the retained blocks were stored in the Jos Museum, Nigeri…

Yes and No. How applicable is a focus on palaeo-weather
Toby Pillatt is right. Weather is important. Weather is important every day, as is evident from almost every news broadcast we watch or hear. This is not only true for extreme weather situations - which currently abound in the news - but for ordinary weather conditions at any time. The importance is quite clearly reflected in the numerous weather channels and weather websites and the weather forecast at the end of every news programme. Despite th…
A simulation of the Neolithic transition in Western Eurasia
Climate fluctuations and trajectories to complexity in the Neolithic
Theories about the emergence and spread of farming in western Eurasia have a long research history. Occasionally, climate fluctuations have served as explanations for short-term culture change. However, the entire Holocene climate fluctuation sequence has so far not been regarded. First steps towards a theory which combines the successive stages in Neolithization and early to Mid-Holocene climate fluctuations are described

Climate Change and Socio-Political Crises
The visibility and invisibility of herders' kraals in southern Africa, with reference to a possible Early Contact Period Khoekhoe kraal at KFS 5, Western Cape
The Europeans who landed on the shores of the South African Cape from the late 15th century onwards encountered local herders whom they later referred to as the Hottentots (now known as the Khoekhoe). There are written references to the settlements and livestock of these pastoralists, but archaeologists have not had much success in discovering any such sites. This absence of archaeological evidence for recent Khoekhoe kraals has been interpreted …
Climate Change and Socio-Political Crises
In recent years, data on an increasing number of violent conflicts within and between Central European Neolithic societies has come to light through both archaeological and physical anthropological studies. The spectrum of such evidence ranges from occasional incidents of healed trauma in otherwise 'ordinary' burial situations to mass burials of possibly tortured and certainly massacred villagers. There appears to be a temporal correlation betwee…
Ancient DNA from the First European Farmers in 7500-Year-Old Neolithic Sites
The ancestry of modern Europeans is a subject of debate among geneticists, archaeologists, and anthropologists. A crucial question is the extent to which Europeans are descended from the first European farmers in the Neolithic Age 7500 years ago or from Paleolithic hunter-gatherers who were present in Europe since 40,000 years ago. Here we present an analysis of ancient DNA from early European farmers. We successfully extracted and sequenced inta…

Prehistoric human migration in the Linearbandkeramik of Central Europe
This paper presents a revised chronology for the Linearbandkeramik and strontium isotope measurements of human skeletal material from two cemeteries which indicate a high incidence of migration. It appears that LBK farmers were highly migratory and interacted with surrounding communities

Migration, acculturation and culture change in western temperate Eurasia
After the introduction of the pottery tradition of La Hoguette and contemporaneous research on Earliest LBK about 10 to 15 years ago, research onthe spread of farming in Central Europe had somewhat stagnated; there were hardly any major advances in factual knowledge, nor could theoretical models be refined. In the last few years, however, an abundance of new data has appeared, partly deriving from botanical and anthropological analyses. Furthermo…

An Ancient Storage Pit in the SW Chad Basin, Nigeria
The-paper examines the evidence for the storing of plant foods in the Nigerian part of the Chad Basin from sites dating to a timespan ranging from 2200 to 400 B.C. (calibrated). The evidence comes from one of those sites (NA 90-5) where, associated with a layer dating between 1500 and 1200 B.C., a feature has been excavated that is interpreted as a storage pit. The argument is supported by the continuous utilization of similar storage pits up to …

Comparing contact-period archaeologies
Despite many similarities in methodology and interconnections in research history no overall comparison between the spread of farming to southern African (the Bantu expansion) and temperate continental Europe (the Bandkeramik expansion) has yet been attempted. This article reviews the current state of research in both regions and discusses possible avenues for future mutual scholarly debates
