  • Wattling for Fish: The Materials and Construction of Stationary Wooden Fishing Structures in Stone Age Southern Scandinavia ca. 6500–1800 cal BCE

    Open Access•Satu Koivisto, TERJE STAFSETH et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Wood…•2025

    The importance of forest resources to the Stone Age populations of Northern Europe has not been comprehensively studied, despite wood raw materials forming the basis for life, settlement, mobility, and subsistence. In addition to firewood and construction needs, wood has been used for a wide range of purposes. The paucity of research is due to the limited preservation of organic materials at archaeological sites in drylands, whereas wetlands and …

  • Lolland’s changing landscapes: Insights from long-term interactions between people and the environment

    Open Access•Gustav Wollentz, Roy Van Beek et al.•ARTICLE•Landscape Research•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 56

    Many parts of Europe are today facing a wide range of societal and environmental challenges that demand a high degree of resilience and adaptability. Archaeology has an important role to play by providing novel perspectives on how people have been living with, and adapting to, change in dynamic environments over considerable time. This paper adopts a trans-chronological perspective on human-environment interaction in the Syltholm Fjord on the Dan…

  • The First of Their Kind—The Significance of Sheep and Goat in the Neolithization Process of Northern Central Europe

    Open Access•Ulrich Schmölcke, Sönke Hartz et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 2

    Coastal‐oriented communities of the Ertebølle culture co‐existed in southern Scandinavia 6000–7000 years ago in relative proximity to farming communities. Despite many years of research, it is still unclear what role individual domestic animals played in this context, mainly due to a lack of dating and identification issues. This paper presents new details of the transformation processes throughout the neolithization of southern Scandinavia and n…

  • Neolithisation through bone: Stable isotope analysis of human and faunal remains from Syltholm II, Lolland, Denmark

    Open Access•K J Gron, D R Gröcke et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Archaeological Science…•2024•References: 14

    Despite an increasing number of studies, the application of stable sulfur (δ34S) isotope analysis to prehistoric bone collagen remains in its infancy. Conventionally, stable sulfur isotope compositions reflect coastal proximity and the interaction between humans and animals. Here, we undertook stable carbon (δ13C), nitrogen (δ15N) and sulfur (δ34S) isotope analysis of human and faunal bone collagen. To understand the local environmental condition…

  • Danmarks Not-So-Oldest Sheep: An Update on Domestic Animals from the Femern Project

    Open Access•D Gro, Samantha Greeve et al.•ARTICLE•Danish Journal of Archaeology•2024•Cited by: 3•References: 5

    Sheep and goats are often considered to be the oldest livestock animals in Denmark. In this contribution, we present the results of ZooMS measurements from seven ovicaprid bones from the Femern project, an excavation in the area of the former Syltholm Fjord (Lolland, Denmark). The bones were morphologically identified as sheep or goats and represented the oldest dated remains of both species in Denmark. However, the ZooMS analysis showed that mor…

  • Stone-Paved Cellars in the Stone Age? Archaeological Evidence for a Neolithic Subterranean Construction From Nygårdsvej 3, Falster, Denmark

    Open Access•Marie Brinch, Bente Philippsen et al.•ARTICLE•Radiocarbon•2024•References: 13

    We present the excavation results from a Middle Neolithic site associated with the Funnel Beaker Culture. Within two overlying house phases, a recessed area was recorded, which had been constructed using different sized pebbles. The arrangement and form of the feature clearly indicated anthropogenic origin and is understood as belonging to one of the house phases. Consequently, it is interpreted as a cellar. Several pits and post holes are additi…

    From 2013-2022 the largest Stone Age excavation ever undertaken in Denmark, uncovered an entire fjord landscape beneath marine sediments at Rødbyhavn on the island of Lolland. Based on the excavations, Museum Lolland-Falster, in collaboration with Aarhus University and the Danish National Museum, organised an international conference on the topic of "LOST 2022 – Changing Identity in a Changing World" on 16 and 17 June 2022 to discuss the time aro…

  • Duvensee WP 10 – an Early Mesolithic Site at Ancient Lake Duvensee, Germany

    Open Access•D Gro, Ilka Sophia Henke et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Wetland Archaeology•2021•Cited by: 1•References: 5

    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…

  • Cattle husbandry and aurochs hunting in the Neolithic of northern Central Europe and southern Scandinavia. A statistical approach to distinguish between domestic and wild forms

    Open Access•Ulrich Schmölcke, D Gro•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2020•Cited by: 1•References: 19

    It is a well‐known and geographically widespread problem in archaeozoology that the discrimination between remains of domesticated animals and their wild ancestors is not always possible. Due to an overlap in size as well as other features, substantial parts of bone and teeth assemblages sometimes cannot be assigned either to the wild or the domestic form. In this paper, we apply the logarithmic size index (LSI) method as a tool for discriminatio…

  • Reconstructing the palaeoenvironment at the early Mesolithic site of Lake Duvensee: Ground-penetrating radar and geoarchaeology for 3D facies mapping

    Open Access•Erica Corradini, Dennis Wilken et al.•ARTICLE•The Holocene•2020•Cited by: 3•References: 2

    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…

  • Adaptations and transformations of hunter-gatherers in forest environments: New archaeological and anthropological insights

    Open Access•D Gro, Henny Piezonka et al.•ARTICLE•The Holocene•2019•Cited by: 6•References: 30

    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…

  • Environmental determinism and archaeology. Understanding and evaluating determinism in research design

    Open Access•P J Arponen, V P J Arponen et al.•ARTICLE•Archaeological Dialogues•2019•Cited by: 28•References: 12

    With the emergence of modern techniques of environmental analysis and widespread availability of accessible tools and quantitative data, the question of environmental determinism is once again on the agenda. This paper is theoretical in character, attempting, for the benefit of drawing up research designs, to understand and evaluate the character of environmental determinism. We reach three main conclusions: (1) in a typical pattern of research d…

  • Early Mesolithic activities at ancient Lake Duvensee, northern Germany

    Open Access•D Gro, Harald Lübke et al.•ARTICLE•The Holocene•2018•Cited by: 7•References: 15

    The ancient lake Duvensee in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, is one of the prime locations in northern Europe for early Holocene research. 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…

    One response to scarcity is to invest more effort in subsistence activities. It is also possible to respond by adjusting the level of effort in nonwork, or leisure, activities. The authors examine the concept of a "Zen road to affluence" using time-allocation data from four closely related Indian communities in central Brazil. Two of the groups live in relatively degraded environments, where yield per unit of work is lower. Total time spent worki…

  • Time Allocation: A Tool For the Study of Cultural Behavior

    D Gro, D R Gross•ARTICLE•Annual Review of Anthropology•1984

    Time allocation studies diffuse rapidly among anthropologists as the problems they treat require an accurate , detailed technique for observing and recording human behavior in context (74, 152). Time-allocation (henceforth TA) techni­ ques are well established in other social science disciplines as well as in engineering and management science (48, 161, 218, 228). Sociologists have relied heavily on self-kept time diaries on relatively large samp…

    This paper examines the pilgrimage to the shrine of Padre Cícero in Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, Brazil. The author argues that the pilgrimage, rather than being an escape from the secular world, is a means by which pilgrims reaffirm their commitment to the values and norms of their society. The pilgrimage is seen as a ritual of conformity that reinforces social solidarity and strengthens the pilgrims' ties to their communities. The author concludes…

    Open Access•Joshua D Rubin, Joshua Rubin et al.•ARTICLE•American Ethnologist•1986•Cited by: 9•References: 6

    One response to scarcity is to invest more effort in subsistence activities. It is also possible to respond by adjusting the level of effort in nonwork, or leisure, activities. The authors examine the concept of a "Zen road to affluence" using time-allocation data from four closely related Indian communities in central Brazil. Two of the groups live in relatively degraded environments, where yield per unit of work is lower. Total time spent worki…

  • Guilt by Association: The Culture of Accusation and the American Anthropological Association's Investigation of Darkness in El Dorado

    Open Access•Thomas Gregor, Thomas A Gregor et al.•ARTICLE•American Anthropologist•2004•Cited by: 18•References: 22

    The American Anthropological Association's investigation of the charges in Darkness in El Dorado (Tierney 2000) found that the late James Neel and Napoleon Chagnon harmed the Yanomami in the course of their research in Venezuela and Brazil, and that Chagnon had violated the ethics code of the association. The association's inquiry contravened its own policy prohibiting ethics adjudications and was structured not by the standards of an objective i…

  • Early Mesolithic activities at ancient Lake Duvensee, northern Germany

    Open Access•D Gro, Harald Lübke et al.•ARTICLE•The Holocene•2018•Cited by: 7•References: 15

    The ancient lake Duvensee in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, is one of the prime locations in northern Europe for early Holocene research. 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…

  • Adaptations and transformations of hunter-gatherers in forest environments: New archaeological and anthropological insights

    Open Access•D Gro, Henny Piezonka et al.•ARTICLE•The Holocene•2019•Cited by: 6•References: 30

    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…

  • Environmental determinism and archaeology. Understanding and evaluating determinism in research design

    Open Access•P J Arponen, V P J Arponen et al.•ARTICLE•Archaeological Dialogues•2019•Cited by: 28•References: 12

    With the emergence of modern techniques of environmental analysis and widespread availability of accessible tools and quantitative data, the question of environmental determinism is once again on the agenda. This paper is theoretical in character, attempting, for the benefit of drawing up research designs, to understand and evaluate the character of environmental determinism. We reach three main conclusions: (1) in a typical pattern of research d…
