Early Mesolithic wetland sites at Ancient Lake Duvensee
Reconstructing ancient shoreline with geophysical methods, Hunter-gatherers preferred shoreline location for ritual activities, Oldest cremation burial found in Northern Germany made by Mesolithic hunters
No time to waste. Evidence for communal waste management among hunter-gatherer-fishers at Riņņukalns, Latvia (5400-3200 BC)
This study discusses waste management by mid-Holocene hunter-gatherer-fisher communities at Riņņukalns, on the Salaca river in Latvia. It combines microscopic analyses with geochemistry and radiocarbon dating. We observe natural landscape changes and human responses, with Mesolithic and earlier Middle Neolithic occupation on the backswamp. During the later Middle Neolithic, we see a pattern of selective deposition of waste categories (food waste,…
The chronology of T-shaped antler axe technology in northeastern Europe
We present new AMS 14 C dates and technological characteristics of an enigmatic osseous implement – the T-shaped antler axe. T-shaped axes (T-axes) are made of red deer ( Cervus elaphus L.) antler beams with the perforation for a shaft through the removed trez tine. Our study centres on 33 axes from Belarus, Latvia and Lithuania, most of which were found during drainage of wetlands or sediment extraction in the 20 th century, and thus remained un…
ZooMS, radiocarbon dating, and techno-typological re-assessment casts doubt on the supposed Late Glacial Husum LA11 skin boat fragment
T-shaped antler axes in Lithuania
This paper discusses one of the most characteristic hunter-gatherer osseous implements — the T-shaped antler axe. These are made from red deer (Cervus elaphus) antler beam by removing the trez tine and creating a perforation for a shaft in its place. This type of axe is quite widely known in the Late Mesolithic and Early Neolithic contexts of northern, western and central Europe. Until now, T-shaped antler axes have been only sporadically mention…
Duvensee WP 10 – an Early Mesolithic Site at Ancient Lake Duvensee, Germany
Archaeological research at ancient Lake Duvensee began almost 100 years ago and has recently revealed another early Holocene site, Duvensee WP 10, which was excavated from 2016 to 2020. Here, we will present the first results of the investigations. The site shows several characteristics known from other sites within the area. However, it is noteworthy that, in comparison to the other local campsites, several discarded animal bones were found – an…
East meets west in the 6 th millennium
A collection of 141 bone and antler tools and debitage pieces recovered from the River Užava at the village of Sise constitutes the largest Mesolithic osseous assemblage in western Latvia. Radiocarbon dating of 12 pieces suggests that most of this collection dates from the 6 th millennium calBC. We present a general analysis, highlighting typical and unique tool forms, ornamented and sculpted pieces, and assess the corpus in a wider geographical …

The Early Mesolithic fisheries of southern Scandinavia
Southern Scandinavian Mesolithic research has one of the longest traditions within archaeology, dating back to the 1820s and 1830s. However, a combination of site visibility and an emphasis on the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition has meant that research has primarily been directed towards the Late Mesolithic Erteblle culture (c. 5400-4000 cal. BC) at the expense of the Early Mesolithic Maglemose culture (c. 9600-6400 cal. BC). Whilst fishing durin…
The Mesolithic bone industries of northeast Germany and their geo-archaeological background
Early Mesolithic bone projectile points of the Urals
During excavations of peat bog and cave sites various Early Mesolithic projectile points of the Urals were obtained. Nowadays these artefacts include bone arrowheads and harpoons. Stone projectile points of this period have not been found yet. Early Mesolithic bone arrowheads were found at the site Syun II in the southeastern Urals, the bottom layers of the Beregovaya I and II sites in the Gorbunovo peat bog, and in Lobvinskaya cave in the middle…

Excavations at Star Carr
Star Carr is a world renowned site first excavated in the late 1940s by Grahame Clark. These excavations revealed organic remains which are incredibly rare, though there are some parallels with sites in Germany and Denmark. The evidence from Star Carr has been debated over the decades, but in 2004 new excavations commenced with the aim of answering some of the questions which had been posed about this important Mesolithic site. One of the alarmin…

Radiocarbon dating bone and antler artefacts from Mesolithic Hohen Viecheln (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany)
excavations at Hohen Viecheln, on the shore of Lake Schwerin, form one of the most important assemblages of Mesolithic bone/antler tools in Germany, including over 300 projectile points. Re-evaluation of Schuldt's excavation records has created doubts about the published stratigraphic sequence. For reliable chronologies of different tool types, therefore, it is necessary to directly date diagnostic artefacts. However, artefacts were consolidated …
Lost at the bottom of the lake. Early and Middle Mesolithic leister points found in the bog Rönneholms Mosse, southern Sweden
During the Early and Middle Mesolithic the bog Rnneholms Mosse, situated in central Scania, southernmost Sweden, was part of a large and shallow lake. It filled up with organic material over a long time, lasting until the middle part of the Atlantic period. Due to large-scale peat extraction in the bog, surveys and excavations have been conducted for a number of years. Besides a large number of small campsites, numerous slotted points, harpoon an…
An evaluation of the antler headdress evidence from Hohen Viecheln
Five possible antler headdresses have been reported from Hohen Viecheln over the last 60 years. This paper will address and discuss these objects in the light of new findings and discoveries. In the end, one of the five artefacts can, while another one may be assigned to the group of headdresses. Besides the long-known bifacially worked headdress HV1 this paper presents a finding that remained undiscussed over the last decades (HV5). Both show cl…
The Early Mesolithic bone and antler industry in Latvia, eastern Baltic
The Early Holocene in the Eastern Baltic, as in the rest of Northern Europe, was marked by pronounced changes in the environment and human ways of life. The centres of settlement shifted from the major river valleys to inland lakes and river systems. One such example is the Zvejnieki II habitation site on the shore of Lake Burtnieks in northern Latvia, which has yielded a rich assemblage of bone and antler artefacts. The article examines the stra…
Reconstructing the palaeoenvironment at the early Mesolithic site of Lake Duvensee
We investigate the landscape development of the early Mesolithic hunter-gatherer sites of Duvensee (10000–6500 cal. BCE). Based on ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and geoarchaeological drillings, we present for the first time a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the palaeoenvironment of 63 ha covering subarea of the former lake during the Mesolithic. The archaeological aims were (1) to detect the location of former islands possibly hosting h…

Two burials in a unique freshwater shell midden
A Bronze Age battlefield? Weapons and trauma in the Tollense Valley, north-eastern Germany
Chance discoveries of weapons, horse bones and human skeletal remains along the banks of the River Tollense led to a campaign of research which has identified them as the debris from a Bronze Age battle. The resources of war included horses, arrowheads and wooden clubs, and the dead had suffered blows indicating face-to-face combat. This surprisingly modern and decidedly vicious struggle took place over the swampy braided streams of the river in …
Dietary Habits and Freshwater Reservoir Effects in Bones from a Neolithic NE German Cemetery

Archaeological sites on the former lakeshore provide vivid illustrations of early Mesolithic life, with bark mats and other organic finds preserved, including evidence for the extensive use of hazelnuts. Although the area has been the subject of research for almost 100 years, a coherent summary of these discoveri…
New research at Riņņukalns, a Neolithic freshwater shell midden in northern Latvia
The prehistoric shell middens of Atlantic Europe consist of marine molluscs, but the eastern Baltic did not have exploitable marine species. Here the sole recorded shell midden, at Riņņukalns in Latvia, is on an inland lake and is formed of massive dumps of freshwater shells. Recent excavations indicate that they are the product of a small number of seasonal events during the later fourth millennium BC. The thickness of the shell deposits suggest…
Adaptations and transformations of hunter-gatherers in forest environments
Like any other living being, humans constantly influence their environment, be it intentionally or unintentionally. By extracting natural resources, they shape their environment and also that of plants and other animals. A great difference setting people apart from all other living beings is the ability to construct and develop their own niche intentionally, and the unique tool for this is cultural behaviour. Here, we discuss anthropogenic enviro…

How Fishy was the Inland Mesolithic? New Data from Friesack, Brandenburg, Germany
Recent studies have shown that faunal assemblages from Mesolithic sites in inland Northern Europe contain more fish remains than previously thought, but the archaeological and archaeozoological record does not reveal the dietary importance of aquatic species to hunter-gatherer-fishers, even at a societal level. For example, the function of bone points, as hunting weapons or fishing equipment, has long been debated. Moreover, traditional methods p…
