Custom is lord of all − The Bronze Age spread of the cremation custom in Northern Bronze Age by using strontium isotopes
The earliest Bronze Age cremations of Northern Germany are non-local. • Children played an important role in the spread of the cremation burial. • First strontium isotope analyses conducted on cremated human remains from Bronze Age burial contexts in Northern Germany. • Establishment of strontium isotope-relevant baselines for Northern Germany. • High relevance to current debates on mobility, identity, and funerary change in the Bronze Age. With …
Scales of Political Practice and Patterns of Power Relations in Prehistory
Political practices are fundamental for co-existence in human groups, yet the systematic investigation of such practices within prehistoric societies is still very much pending. Relevant discussions are often limited to cases of obvious asymmetric power relations and the alleged establishment of elites. In order to fill this complex gap in the current discussion we take a systematic approach exploring the nature and organisation of prehistoric po…
Dynamic Funerary Monuments of North-western Europe
This study presents the first extensive radiocarbon dating programme of Bronze Age material from northern Germany, and it combines radiocarbon dates, relative typo-chronological date ranges, and stratigraphic data within a Bayesian chronological framework. We estimate the cemetery complex at Mang de Bargen (Bornhöved, distr. Segeberg, Schleswig-Holstein) to be in use for more than two millennia, which is exceptionally long in northern Germany and…
The Evil Twin
This paper focuses on the Older Bronze Age pottery of the Nordic Circle, which has so far been given a wide berth in research. Due to the insufficient amount of published material, the study applied the classical and yet often frowned upon type classification and brought it into dialogue with multivariate statistical analyses. This represents then the first overview study of the Older Bronze Age ceramic material of Schleswig-Holstein and it is ev…

Current Research on Bronze Age ‘Cooking Stone Pits’ in Northern Germany and Southern Scandinavia
This article presents current research on cooking stone pits in northern Germany and southern Scandinavia and examines their function and interpretation. It focuses on recent findings at the site of Mang de Bargen in northern Germany, which contained pit arrangements in various configurations, including a new circular one. The latest 14 C dates from Mang de Bargen suggest that the circular formations constitute the earliest evidence of cooking st…
Cultural change and population dynamics during the Bronze Age
In archaeology, change in material culture is viewed as indicating social or cultural transformation and is the basis of our typo-chronological classification of phases and periods. The material culture from northern Germany reveals both quantitative and qualitative changes during the Bronze Age. At the same time, there is also evidence for ‘boom and bust’ cycles in population density/size, as indicated by changing human impact on the environment…
Textilkeramik“ – Textileindrücke auf bronzezeitlicher Keramik vom Fundplatz Bruszczewo
The article presents results of a study of “textile ceramics” – impressions of textiles on walls of ceramic vessels – from the Early Bronze Age fortified settlement of Bruszczewo (Greater Poland). On the basis of silicone impressions, an analysis of spinning and twisting directions, as well as textile density, structures, and techniques can be conducted along with their differentiation into twists, threads, non-woven fabrics, tabby weaves, and sp…
