An agricultural complement to ancient northern Central Asian pastoralism on the steppe
The adaptive economies that allowed ancient people to, not only survive on the arid steppe of northern Central Asia, but also form early polities, elaborate burial practices, and specialized craft production, have attracted the attention of archaeologists for more than a century. Traditionally, these scholars have emphasized the first millennium BC as a key period of cultural change, labeling it the period when highly specialized nomadic pastoral…
Аршалы-2 ерте темір дәуірінің қонысы
Мақалада Павлодар облысы аумағында орналасқан Аршалы-2 ерте темір дәуірі қонысында жүргізілген археологиялық зерттеулердің нәтижелері қарастырылады. Аршалы тауының шығыс баурайында орналасқан шеңбер пішінді қонысқа 176 ш.м. қазба салынды. Зерттеу барысында негізгі шаруашылық құрылысы мен алты шағын тұрғынжай ашылды. Топографиялық және планиграфиялық ерекшеліктері жағынан ескерткіш Орталық Қазақстанның қоныстарына ұқсас. Қазба барысында 71 тас құр…
Grain impressions in ceramic vessels illustrate the extent of 1st millennium bc agriculture across the northern Central Asian steppe
The Syr and Amu Darya deltas and the littoral zone of the eastern Aral Sea, from Khorezm to Kyzylorda, have attracted the attention of archaeologists for nearly a century. Since the well-known Tolstov expeditions, archaeologists have discussed the establishment of early defensive architecture and elaborate irrigation systems on the periphery of the hyper-arid Kyzyl Kum Desert. Scholars have argued over whether the ancient people in this region du…
Human activities, early farming and natural environment in the north-western Kanto Plain (Central Japan) during the Final Jomon–Early Kofun period (990 cal BCE–330 cal CE) inferred from palynological …
The emergence, spread and intensification of agriculture, the impact of early agriculture on the natural environment and the possible role of climate on subsistence economies and population dynamics are important research questions in Japanese geoarchaeology. New directly dated archaeobotanical records of the Middle Yayoi (390–200 cal BCE, 1σ error) and Early Kofun (210–330 cal CE) periods from the Ikegami archaeological site and a 1300-year paly…
Culinary continuity in central Japan across the transition to agriculture
Rice and millet arrived in Western Japan from Korea around 3,000 years ago and spread eastwards across the archipelago in the next 700 years. However, the extent to which agriculture transformed traditional Jōmon hunter-gatherer-fisher communities is debated. Central Japan is a key area of study as remodelling of radiocarbon dates shows a slowdown in the dispersal rate of rice agriculture in this area. Here, we examine and compare the use of pott…
The onset, dispersal and crop preferences of early agriculture in the Japanese archipelago as derived from seed impressions in pottery
This paper summarises the results of 225 studies of seed impressions in pottery assemblages from 182 archaeological sites across Kyushu, Shikoku and Honshu islands covering the Late/Final Jomon–Middle Yayoi period (ca. 2000–1 BCE). Focussing on rice, foxtail millet and broomcorn millet impressions, this archaeobotanical dataset was used to reconstruct when and where these crops arrived from the Eurasian mainland on these islands, how they dispers…
Re-identification of plant impressions on prehistoric pottery from Ukraine
New Archaeobotanical Study of Pottery From the Sub-Neolithic Site of Bazkiv Ostriv on the Southern Buh River (Using Replica-Sem Method)
The study of impressions of plants in ancient pottery is one of the traditional methods of archaeobotanical research. Twenty years ago, Halina Pashkevych identified traces of a few cultivated species on the potsherds of the Buh-Dnister culture (BDC) from the Southern Buh River basin based on naked-eye observations (Pashkevich 2000; Kotova 2002). In particular, impressions of grains of Triticum monococcum and Triticum dicoccum were found on the su…
New Results of Direct Radiocarbon Ams Dating of the Pottery From the Buh-Dnister Sub-Neolithic Сulture
Traditional ideas about the origin of the Buh-Dnister Culture (BDC) and its synchronisation with the Neolithic cultures of the Danube-Carpathian region were questioned by series of radiocarbon dates measured on bones at the Kyiv laboratory in the 1998—2004. To start addressing this problem, 11 AMS dates on organic inclusions in the ceramic paste and charred residues on the surface of vessels were obtained at the Tokyo University laboratory. The s…
Crop cultivation of Middle Yayoi culture communities (fourth century bce–first century ce) in the Kanto region, eastern Japan, inferred from a radiocarbon-dated archaeobotanical record
AMS-dated archaeobotanical assemblages from hearth deposits of Middle Yayoi (fourth century bce –first century ce ) cultural layers of the Maenakanishi site (36°09′N, 139°24′E) in northern Saitama Prefecture demonstrate that besides rice, foxtail and broomcorn millet were the most important staple crops during the second and first centuries bce . The reliance on less demanding dry-field crops at Maenakanishi and other Early to Middle Yayoi settle…
New AMS dates from the Sub-Neolithic sites in the Southern Buh area (Ukraine) and problems in the Buh-Dnister Culture chronology
Ideas about the origin of the Buh-Dnister Culture under the influence of the Danube Early Neolithic were questioned by series of radiocarbon dates falling into the second half of the 7th millennium BC measured on bones at the Kyiv laboratory in 1998–2004. To start addressing this problem, 11 AMS dates on organic inclusions in the ceramic paste and charred residues on the surface of vessels were obtained at the Tokyo University laboratory. Apart f…
