Life Cycle of the Wooden Well at the Early Neolithic Settlement in Velim, Czechia
Water management in the Early Neolithic period was a significant aspect of daily life indicating the complex relationship between communities and their environment. The wells were not only central to the provision of water but also played roles that could evolve and change during their lifetime. This article focuses on the Early Neolithic wooden well and its infill at the Velim site in central Bo¬hemia (Czech Republic), whose construction has bee…
Multi-proxy analysis of an Early Neolithic wooden well in a pastoral landscape in eastern Bohemia
Some of the most remarkable Neolithic finds encountered in central Europe are wells with a wooden construction. These features provide unusual insights into Neolithic societies, their subsistence strategies and the landscape they inhabited. In the last fifteen years, four Early Neolithic wells out of a total of seven such wells known since the 1970s have been discovered in Czechia. One of them is the well at Ostrov, the wooden construction and se…
A complete Holocene climate and environment record for the Western Carpathians (Slovakia) derived from a tufa deposit
Calcareous tufas are great archives of geochemical information for the reconstruction of past climate. Their importance increases in the regions where other proxies are rare, such as Western Carpathians. Here, we present the first whole-Holocene palaeoclimatic reconstruction for this region based on geochemical proxies. We analysed δ 18 O, δ 13 C and Mg/Ca ratio on tufa calcite of the Mituchovci site (White Carpathian Mountains, W Slovakia) and c…
Using multi-proxy palaeoecology to test a relict status of refugial populations of calcareous-fen species in the Western Carpathians
The distribution pattern of relict and specialised species in calcareous fens was revealed to be non-stochastic, with ancient fens harbouring more of these species than younger ones. This phenomenon could be caused by long-lasting in situ survivals over millennia, but direct palaeoecological evidence is lacking. We addressed the question whether at least some ancient calcareous fens indeed retained open-fen patches throughout the Holocene, using …
Early occurrence of temperate oak-dominated forest in the northern part of the Little Hungarian Plain, SW Slovakia
Using a multi-proxy analysis of a postglacial sedimentary sequence from a lowland wetland, we address the possible drivers of change in the wetland habitats and surrounding landscapes of southwestern Slovakia. A 5 m-deep core in the Parížske močiare marshes was investigated for pollen, plant macro-remains, molluscs, organic content and magnetic susceptibility. The palaeoecological record extends from the Pleistocene–Holocene transition (≥11,200 c…
