  • The innovation of iron and the Xiongnu – a case study from Central Mongolia

    Open AccessUrsula Brosseder, Ernst Pohl et al.ARTICLEAsian Archaeology2023Cited by: 2References: 23

    This article presents the oldest iron smelting furnaces of the Xiongnu Empire period in central Mongolia and argues that a significant smelting center existed at the site of Baga Nariĭn Am. Five iron smelting furnaces and four smelting installations were excavated, with a total 26 furnaces further identified through SQUID magnetometry. In combination with a review of data on iron production in contemporary Mongolia, the Transbaikal region, Tuva, …

  • Overlooked—Enigmatic—Underrated

    Open AccessSusanne Reichert, Nasan-Ochir Erdene-Ochir et al.ARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology2022Cited by: 3References: 20

    Cities in the Eurasian steppes, a core of nomadic empires, are rare. Erecting a city from scratch is even less typical. However, Khar Khul Khaany Balgas, situated north of the Khangai Mountains in central Mongolia, is such an exceptional example, never built over by subsequent settlements. Overlooked until now because researchers dated its latest settlement phase into the 17th century a.d., the first radiocarbon dates and material culture prove i…

  • Mapping Karakorum, the capital of the Mongol Empire

    Open AccessJan Bemmann, Sven Linzen et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2022Cited by: 4References: 8

    In the thirteenth century AD, the city of Karakorum was founded as the capital of the Mongol Empire. Relatively little archaeological attention, however, has been directed at the site and the phenomenon of steppe urbanism. The authors report new magnetic and topographic surveys of the walled city and the surrounding landscape. The resulting maps reveal the city in unprecedented detail. Combining the magnetic and topographical data with aerial pho…

  • Or 793? Charlemagne’s canal project

    Open AccessLukas Werther, Jinty Nelson et al.ARTICLEEarly Medieval Europe2020Cited by: 1

    In autumn 793, Charlemagne visited the fossatum magnum (the ‘big ditch’ or canal) between the Rhine and Danube. Excavations, dendrochronology and a re‐reading of Carolingian Annals shed new light on the chronology and setting of this canal, which was planned in 792, initiated in 793, and abandoned later that year. The abandonment is attested by both written and archaeological evidence. The different versions of the annals offer a unique opportuni…

  • Charlemagne's Summit Canal

    Open AccessChristoph Zielhofer, Eva Leitholdt et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2014

    The Central European Watershed divides the Rhine-Main catchment and the Danube catchment. In the Early Medieval period, when ships were important means of transportation, Charlemagne decided to link both catchments by the construction of a canal connecting the Schwabian Rezat and the Altmühl rivers. The artificial waterway would provide a continuous inland navigation route from the North Sea to the Black Sea. The shortcut is known as Fossa Caroli…

  • Biomarkers in archaeology – Land use around the Uyghur capital Karabalgasun, Orkhon Valley, Mongolia

    Jan Bemmann, Eva Lehndorff et al.ARTICLEPraehistorische Zeitschrift2014Cited by: 5

    Zur Nutzungsanalyse großer ovaler, erstmalig entdeckter und dokumentierter von einem niedrigen Graben-Wall-System umgebener Anlagen wurden Bodenproben auf spezifische Lipide untersucht, die Hinweise auf die Anwesenheit – hinterlassene Verdauungsreste – bestimmter Nutztierarten und Menschen in den beprobten Bereichen geben könnten. Wahrscheinlich dienten die Anlagen dem Gartenbau, sicherlich nicht der Viehhaltung; in den angrenzenden Dachziegel un…

  • Rapid and sensitive magnetometer surveys of large areas using SQUIDs – the measurement system and its application to the Niederzimmern Neolithic double‐ring ditch exploration

    Open AccessV Schultze, Linzen et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2008Cited by: 4References: 2

    A geomagnetic field measurement system for the detection of archaeological signatures in the subsoil is presented based on the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). The system provides fast mapping of large areas with high magnetic field gradient resolution as well as lateral precision. The acquired data are geographically referenced and also the altitude profile is given. The properties of the system were tested intensively at the…

  • A superconducting quantum interference device system for geomagnetic archaeometry

    Open AccessV Schultze, A Chwala et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2007Cited by: 3References: 1

    A unique system for geomagnetic archaeometry is presented. It uses extremely sensitive superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) as magnetic field sensors, laid out as intrinsic gradiometers. These sensors are mounted on a non‐metallic cart, which guarantees smooth movement even at high speeds. Using a differential global positioning system (GPS) together with an inertial system the measured magnetic field gradient data are located on…
