Transport of Timber – A Matter of Ancient Concern
The prehistoric salt mine in Hallstatt is one of the most prominent archaeological sites in Europe. A huge demand for timber within this complex Bronze Age mining structure required a sophisticated transport system. Although research related to wood transport had been done, further information was needed to reconstruct the whole process of transportation. In this study, wood species identification of wedges, withies, and residues was carried out …
Multi-proxy analyses of a minerotrophic fen to reconstruct prehistoric periods of human activity associated with salt mining in the Hallstatt region (Austria)
In this study, periods of prehistoric anthropogenic activity in the Hallstatt salt mining area (Upper Austria) are reconstructed from elemental (XRF-scanning, Q-ICP-MS) and Pb isotopic analyses (206Pb,207Pb,208Pb) of a radiocarbon-dated, 137-cm-long peat core covering the past ~7,000 years. The peat core was retrieved from a minerotrophic fen in the Hallstatt High Valley. Distinct metal enrichments attributed to low anthropogenic impact in Hallst…
Years of environmental sustainability in the large-scale alpine mining district of Hallstatt, Austria
Throughout time, salt has played a crucial role in societies representing one of the most precious natural raw materials that can be extracted from the environment. The Austrian Alps are home to the world’s oldest and extensively studied record of large-scale underground salt mining: the UNESCO World Heritage site Hallstatt-Dachstein/Salzkammergut. In this study, we focus for the first time on the impact that the salt extraction had on the vegeta…
Der bronzezeitliche Bergbau in Hallstatt. Neue Lebensbilder zum Salzbergwerk
The first evidence for underground salt mining in Hallstatt dates to the Bronze Age. In its dimensions, the Bronze Age mining phase rivals the later and better known Iron Age mining. Although both mining communities were confronted with the same challenges, the mining technology and structure, as well as resource management, differ greatly. Bronze Age salt mining was characterised by the use of large shafts, which could reach enormous proportions…

Children in the mines? Tracing potential childhood labour in salt mines from the Early Iron Age in Hallstatt, Austria
The analysis of subadult skeletons from the Iron Age Hallstatt graveyard and archaeological findings from the contemporaneous salt mine close-by, yield promising new insights. The cemetery is located in a barely accessible mountain valley, next to the highly organised Iron Age salt mining manufacture. The way of mining is largely known from finds in the ancient mines, including distinct, repeated tasks for the miners. The finding of small-sized l…
Mining with Agents
Reproducing colourful woven bands from the Iron Age salt mine of Hallstatt in Austria
Agent-based Modeling and Simulation in Archaeology
Gabriel Wurzer is a computer scientist working on Agent-Based Simulation at Vienna University of Technology, in which field he is publishing, organizing workshops and holding lectures. Through cooperation with the Natural History Museum Vienna, he developed multiple models on prehistoric salt mining in the prehistoric mines of Hallstatt. Apart from Archaeology, he is also active in the field of Architectural planning, especially Hospital Simulati…

Cloth cultures in prehistoric Europe
Cloth Cultures in Prehistoric Europe is a Postdoctoral Fellowship project awarded to Susanna Harris by the British Academy. Its aim is to bring together and examine evidence for textiles and animal skins in prehistoric Europe from the Neolithic and Bronze Age. Several case studies are being examined as part of this project, including the Bronze Age Hallstatt salt mines. Here researchers working on the materials from Hallstatt
