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…
Late Holocene periods of copper mining in the Eisenerz Alps (Austria) deduced from calcareous lake deposits
Palynological studies and archaeological discoveries suggest repeated extensive prehistoric copper mining in the Eisenerz Alps (Styria, Austria). In an attempt to reconstruct the specific temporal evolution of copper (Cu) mining activity in this area from the Bronze Age to the medieval period, this article presents records of elemental variations, trace elemental enrichments of Cu, nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), antimony (Sb)…
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…
