A Fully Bayesian Approach to Adult Skeletal Age Estimation
Environment, land use, and archaeology in the north-central German Lower Mountain Range during the Younger and Late Neolithic
Palynological, macroremain, and sedimentological analyses of a well-dated, high-resolution sediment profile from the Körbecker Bruch have enabled a detailed reconstruction of the land-use history in a fertile loess landscape during the Younger and the Late Neolithic. The results indicate that already around 4700 cal. BCE, agriculture, animal husbandry, and slash-and-burn techniques, as elements of the subsistence economy, had significantly shaped…

Late and Final Neolithic Land Use Reconstructions Based on Floodplain Deposits from the ‘Nachtweide’ Site in Hesse, Central Germany – a Challenge for Palynology
This study reconstructs land use history with a focus on the Late and Final Neolithic using palynological data from floodplain deposits in the state of Hesse, central Germany. Our results demonstrate that humans were using the surrounding landscape continuously from the onset of the Michelsberg culture to the transition to the Bronze Age. However, a noticeable decline in human impact was shown during the transitional stage between the Michelsberg…
High-Precision Bayesian Chronological Modeling on a Calibration Plateau
We combine the results of a radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating program with archaeogenetic, osteological and sparse stratigraphic data, to construct a Bayesian chronological model for a multi-generational sequence situated entirely on a plateau in the 14 C calibration curve. Calibrated dates of individual human bones from the Late Neolithic gallery grave at Niedertiefenbach, Hesse, Germany, span the entire calibration plateau in the late 4th millennium (…
Infectious diseases and Neolithic transformations
It is a common assumption that – compared with the Mesolithic – the adoption of Neolithic lifeways was accompanied by a higher risk of infection and the development of epidemic diseases. Such a hypothesis seems plausible when considering singular archaeological parameters like increasing population density and palaeopathological indicators of poor health. However, evidence for the far-reaching consequences of epidemics has not yet been examined. …
Niedertiefenbach. Ein Galeriegrab der spätneolithischen Wartberggruppe südwestlich von Niedertiefenbach (Landkreis Limburg-Weilburg, Hessen)
Das Galeriegrab von Niedertiefenbach stellt einen besonderen Befund der späten Wartberggruppe im Neolithikum der Deutschen Mittelgebirgsschwelle dar; nur hier findet sich ein in zehn Straten geborgenes Bestattungskollektiv von mindestens 177 Individuen. Eine umfangreiche Serie von Radiokarbondatierungen belegt ein wesentlich höheres Alter des Grabes als bisher publiziert und erlaubt die Modellierung einer Bestattungssequenz zwischen 3.350 und 2.9…

Towards the use of radiocarbon as a dietary proxy
Radiocarbon reservoir effects (RREs) are observed when the 14C concentration of aquatic reservoirs is lower than the contemporary atmosphere. Within these reservoirs, aquatic species will also have a 14C depleted signal, and humans feeding on these species will show a dietary RRE. Human dietary RREs are often viewed as a problem for the establishment of reliable chronologies. However, they also represent an opportunity to introduce radiocarbon as…
Ancient DNA insights from the Middle Neolithic in Germany
