Living between Lakes and Alps
The dataset contains all known Bronze Age sites in the present-day canton of Bern (Switzerland) up to December 2023, including evidence for settlements, burials, trade/transport, depositions and single finds. It was provided by the Archaeological Service of the canton of Bern (ADB) in the form of an Excel data file and was supplemented by a literature review for our research. It was then processed as a CSV data file for the mapping of settlement …
Xronos
XRONOS (https://xronos.ch) is an open data infrastructure for the backbone of the archaeological record – chronology. It provides open access to published radiocarbon dates and other chronometric data from any period, anywhere in the world. By collating a large number of existing regional and global compilations of dates, XRONOS offers the most comprehensive radiocarbon database yet published, with over 350,000 radiocarbon and 75,000 site records…
Linking Neolithic lakeshore settlements through raw material of siliceous artefacts
This paper presents the results of the provenience analysis of siliceous artefacts from Neolithic lakeshore settlements studied in the scope of the SNSF-project MET (“Mobilities, entanglements and transformations in Neolithic societies on the Swiss Plateau (3900-3500 BCE) supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (Project No 100011 156205). The aim of this paper is to compare the cultural entanglements as defined by the pottery studies w…
Rethinking Neolithic Societies. New Perspectives on Social Relations, Political Organization and Cohabitation
Traditional archaeological ideas about Neolithic societies were shaped by questionable premises. The modern concept of social and cultural coherence of residence groups as well as the ethnic interpretation of 'archaeological cultures' fostered ideas of static and homogeneous social entities with fixed borders. Farming - as the core of the Neolithic way of life - was associated with sedentariness rather than with spatial mobility and cross-regiona…
From flint provenance to mobility studies
The aim of this paper is twofold: first, we strive to find routes of flint supply that may have been used systematically on the northern Alpine Foreland during the fourth millennium BCE, based on the origin of the siliceous raw materials; second, these routes will be interpreted as a part of cultural entanglements. Using the sedimentary microfacies method for sourcing the raw materials of artefacts recovered in prehistoric sites makes it possible…
Unsupervised Classification of Neolithic Pottery From the Northern Alpine Space Using t-SNE and HDBSCAN
Terms of “Neolithic cultures” are still used to describe spatial and temporal differences in pottery styles across central Europe. These terms date back to research periods when absolute dating methods were lacking and typological classification was used to establish chronologies. Those terms are charged with problematic, biasing notions of social configurations: cultural homogeneity, spatial boundedness, and immobility. In this article, we prese…
