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…
Functional exploration of grinding and polishing stones from the Neolithic settlement site of Oldenburg LA77, Northern Germany − evidence from plant microfossil analysis
Hunte 4
One of the few areas of the central North European Plain with settlement structures of the Single Grave groups (SG) as well as the Bell Beaker (BB) phenomenon is the Dümmer region in northwestern Germany. This region is characterised by extensive wetlands on the southern border of the Northern Lowland and has been subject of several research projects on Mesolithic and Neolithic sites since the last century. Archaeological prospections in the 1940…
From hierarchies in balance to social imbalance – transformation processes in the later Funnel Beaker north societies in the western Baltic Sea region (3100–2900 BC)
Grave gifts manifest the ritual status of cattle in Neolithic societies of northern Germany
The Neolithic period in NW-Europe marks a time of major transformation in human lifestyle including sedentism, farming, agropastoralism with early animal husbandry and the use of ornamented pottery by “Funnelbeaker” societies. Domestic animals, in particular cattle, served for traction, plowing, and manuring to support agricultural production but also supplied a variety of dietary products including meat, fat, and milk as well as wool. The impact…
Middle-Neolithic agricultural practices in the Oldenburger Graben wetlands, northern Germany
A number of small middle-Neolithic (3300–2800 BC) settlements flourished in the Oldenburger Graben area of northern Germany. The excavations yielded large amounts of crop remains, suggesting that agrarian production was a cornerstone of subsistence economy. Until about 3000 BC, Oldenburger Graben was a fjord, which over time was separated from the Baltic Sea and became a lagoon. The location of the settlement in the wetlands would have been highl…
Transforming landscapes
How did socio-cultural transformation processes change land-use patterns? Throughout the last 50 years, outstanding comprehensive geographic, archaeobiological, and archaeological data have been produced for the area of Oldenburger Graben, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Based on this exceptional data set, we are able to study the land-use patterns for a period ranging from the Final Mesolithic until the Late Neolithic (4600–1700 BCE). By applicatio…
Monuments and economies
In the regions of southern Scandinavia and northern Germany, within the Neolithic ( c. 4100–1700 BCE), two episodes of intensified monumental burial construction are known: Funnel Beaker megaliths mainly from c. 3400–3100 BCE and Single Grave burial mounds from c. 2800–2500 BCE. So far, it remains unclear whether these boom phases of monumental construction were linked with phases of economic expansion, to phases of economic changes or to periods…
Mittel- bis jungneolithische Siedlungshinterlassenschaften zwischen 3300–2600 v. Chr. – Der Fundplatz Oldenburg LA 232 im Oldenburger Graben, Ostholstein
Mit Beginn des DFG-Sonderforschungsbereiches 1266 „TransformationsDimensionen“ stand im Rahmen des Teilprojektes „Spätmesolithische und Neolithische Transformationen in der nordmitteleuropäischen Tiefebene“ auch die Frage des Überganges von mittelneolithischen Trichterbecher- zu jungneolithischen Einzelgrabgesellschaften im Vordergrund des Interesses. Aufgrund fehlender Siedlungsbefunde wurden 2016 erste siedlungsarchäologische Untersuchungen dur…
Food transformed? Taphonomical investigation into a potentially symbolic role of crops at two Neolithic settlements in northern Germany
The two studied Neolithic sites in northern Germany, Oldenburg LA232 and Oldenburg LA191, yielded remains of residential architecture and evidence of every-day activities, including food storage and processing. None of the excavated features were attributed a symbolic or ritual meaning. However, in more than one case relatively large amounts of food have been found in contexts unlikely to contain food, even as a result of post-depositional distur…
Megalithanlagen und Siedlungsmuster im trichterbecherzeitlichen Ostholstein
Die agrarische Wirtschaftsweise des Neolithikums in Nordmitteleuropa und Südskandinavien führt zu einer Neugestaltung der Landschaft durch Siedlungen und frühe monumentale Anlagen. Zum Verständnis der Raumordnung, der sozialen Entwicklung und der Funktion monumentaler Anlagen nimmt Ostholstein, als eine der am dichtesten besiedelten trichterbecherzeitlichen Fundlandschaften der Kimbrischen Halbinsel, eine Schlüsselfunktion ein. Durch neue Ausgrab…
