Neolithic Bodies in Vráble – 7000 year-old Headless Human Skeletons in an Enclosed LBK Settlement in South–West Slovakia
We present here the extraordinary find of an Early Neolithic mass deposition of headless human bodies at the LBK settlement site of Vráble-Veľké Lehemby. While various scientific analyses are under way, we present the archaeological context of this find and preliminary osteological and taphonomic observations. We discuss these in the light of a patterned and meaningful depositional complexity in Vráble, which embeds into a larger corpus of human …
Pits, houses and rondels: New results on the Lengyel habitation in the Žitava Valley, Southwestern Slovakia
As an intensely debated period, the transition from the LBK to post-LBK societies remains in the centre of attention of researchers dealing with the Early Neolithic in Central Europe. The partly drastic change of the settlement systems, regarding both the patterns and organisation, is indeed an interesting subject and raises questions about the social and economic processes and changes that may have accompanied this development. With this contrib…

Affinités biologiques et histoire des peuplements humains: Synergie des données morphométriques et génétiques en Océanie
La reconstruction des histoires de peuplements constitue une part grandissante des recherches bioanthropologiques. Si la discipline de la (paléo)génétique en est aujourd’hui la principale investigatrice, les études morphométriques retraçant l’origine d’individus archéologiques restent toujours utilisées. Différents sets de variations métriques relevés sur la boite crânienne peuvent constituer des indicateurs fiables pour reconstruire les affinité…
Analysis of chipped industry from the setllement of the Želiezovce group in Bajč
A rich collection of chipped stone industry, chronologically falling to the final stage of the Želiezovce group, was obtained from the area of the settlement in Bajč.Two aspects were taken into consideration when analysing the assemblage of finds -typological-technological point of view and proportion of knappable raw materials at the site.The assemblage of chipped industry from Bajč comprises of items representing all phases of production proces…

Archaeology in the Zitava Valley I: The LBK and Zeliezovce Settlement Site of Vráble
Stable isotopic insights into crop cultivation, animal husbandry, and land use at the Linearbandkeramik site of Vráble-Veľké Lehemby (Slovakia)
The plant and animal components of Linearbandkeramik (LBK) subsistence systems were remarkably uniform with cattle, emmer and einkorn wheat providing the primary source of sustenance for Europe’s earliest agricultural communities. This apparent homogeneity in plant and animal use has been implicitly understood to indicate corresponding similarity in the types of husbandry practices employed by LBK farmers across the entire distribution of the LBK…
Archaeology in the Žitava valley I. The LBK and Želiezovce settlement site of Vráble
The early Neolithic site of Vráble (5250-4950 cal BCE) is among the largest LBK settlement agglomerations in Central Europe, and exceptional within the southwest Slovakian area. Geophysical surveys revealed more than 300 houses, grouped into three contemporary neighbourhoods, one of which is delineated by a complex ditched enclosure system. This enclosure is associated with a large number of human remains, which reveal new patterns of burial and …
What over 100 drillings tell us: A new method for determining the Koenigsberger ratio of soils from magnetic mapping and susceptibility logging
We investigate the relative fractions of remanent and induced magnetization of the fillings of neolithic long pits in order to develop remanent magnetization as an additional parameter for the archaeological interpretation of magnetic maps. We determine the Koenigsberger ratio – the ratio between induced and remanent magnetization intensities – for key targets by combining magnetic mapping with downhole measurements of susceptibility, numerical m…
Communality and Discord in an Early Neolithic Settlement Agglomeration: The LBK Site of Vráble, Southwest Slovakia
Our research at the large LBK settlement site of Vráble, southwest Slovakia, revealed dynamics of social integration and antagonisms unfolding in an agglomerated, early farming community. During its lifespan from 5250 to 4950 bc, it constantly grew until around 5050 bc it was inhabited by about 70 contemporaneous longhouses. We found that Vráble consisted of markedly autonomous farmstead units that were held together by village-wide social instit…
Temporal dynamics of Linearbandkeramik houses and settlements, and their implications for detecting the environmental impact of early farming
Long-held ideas concerning early Neolithic Linearbandkeramik (LBK) settlements in central Europe have been thoroughly challenged in recent years, for example, regarding their internal organisation or the use-life of individual houses. These topics have now also been addressed with the help of large radiocarbon ( 14 C) datasets. In the light of this discussion, we present findings of our ongoing research at Vráble in south-western Slovakia. Intens…
Preliminary results of the recent excavation of a radiolarite mine area and its surroundings in Sedmerovec
The article deals with the archaeological investigation of Sedmerovec-Kank and Sedmerovec-Podjamie sites from 2016. In Sedmerovec-Kank mine area, archaeological investigations were carried out in the western half of the pit. Unfortunately, no archaeological material was found. During the surface survey and archaeological excavation in Sedmerovec-Podjamie site, a rich collection of a lithic industry was obtained. Important are rhomboids most proba…
