Ginnerup Revisited. New Excavations at a Key Neolithic Site on Djursland, Denmark
New excavations of an enclosure-related site at Ginnerup on Djursland, Denmark, in 2020 resulted in the identification of several features containing depositions of marine shells. One of these, A4, is a natural depression with a fill comprised of four consecutively deposited layers, forming an undisturbed stratigraphy, dated by several 14C dates to between c. 3150 and 2950 BC. The oldest layer contained finds from phase MN A Ib of the Funnel Beak…
The origins and spread of domestic horses from the Western Eurasian steppes
Domestication of horses fundamentally transformed long-range mobility and warfare 1 . However, modern domesticated breeds do not descend from the earliest domestic horse lineage associated with archaeological evidence of bridling, milking and corralling 2–4 at Botai, Central Asia around 3500 bc 3 . Other longstanding candidate regions for horse domestication, such as Iberia 5 and Anatolia 6 , have also recently been challenged. Thus, the genetic,…

Axes of Alpine jade from southern Scandinavia and northernmost Germany
This short contribution summarises the present state of knowledge regarding axes of Alpine jade in southern Scandinavia. Origin, age, exchange and importance to Neolithic societies in the North are discussed and it is argued that several of the axes were genuinely deposited in southern Scandinavia during the Neolithic. These axes therefore represent Neolithic trans-European exchange. It is furthermore argued that the place of origin and circumsta…
From Mont Viso to Slovakia
Two fragments of large jadeitite axeheads were discovered in a Lengyel enclosure at Golianovo (Republic of Slovakia), close to Nitra. Spectroradiometric analysis and macroscopic characteristics indicate that, in all probability, these two artefacts — which are exceptional in this region of Europe — had come from the Neolithic quarries on Mont Viso, in the Italian Alps, some 950 km away as the crow flies.The two axehead fragments from Golianovo pr…
Haches plates en cuivre dans le Jura français. Transferts à longue distance de biens socialement valorisés pendant les IVe et IIIe millénaires
The likely provenance and dates for six flat copper axes from the Jura region in eastern France have been established with the aid of metallographic and typological comparisons. The selection of the artefacts studied was based on a preliminary typological examination that was conducted to isolate specimens potentially dating from the 4th millennium BC. Only one axe from Pont-de-Roide turned out actually to belong to this phase, as it could be ide…
