The NW German Heathland
The term heath generally means wasteland. In the early modern period, extensive areas of heathland were created in north-west Germany, mainly through deforestation and subsequent grazing. This meant that the people living here had to practise a special shortage or wasteland economy. The economy of scarcity had not only had economic consequences, but also shaped society and mentality. For example, use boundaries and forms of use had to be defined.…
Food, Foodways, and Subsistence
In the first millennium BC, three major subsistence ‘belts’ can be distinguished in Europe: one around the Mediterranean, a second in temperate Europe, and the third in the north. Shifting colonization was still practised in places, but cereal farming was well developed across most of the continent, with less amenable soils now brought into cultivation. Farmers relied on at least two cereal crops, sometimes with millet cultivated as a third cerea…
The Oxford Handbook of the European Iron Age
The Oxford Handbook of the European Iron Age presents to students, scholars, and interested general readers a broad overview of current understanding of the archaeology of Europe from 1000 bc to the early historic period. During this period, new technologies, agricultural innovation, and demographic growth saw much of the landscape opened up to near modern limits, accompanied in many areas by greater social and economic complexity. Three introduc…
The origin and use of agricultural grasslands in Europe
The description of the history of grassland in agricultural systems in Europe is complicated by the lack of clear evidence about this subject. Written, palaeo-ecological or archaeological sources do not provide much information. Grassland plants were only rarely transported to prehistoric sites where plant remnants could be detected during excavations. Many grassland plant species are not exclusive to grasslands, but also occur in natural woodlan…
Roman plant remains from Veli Brijun (island of Brioni), Croatia
Prehistoric farming and the postglacial expansion of beech and hornbeam
It is argued that the views put forward by Gardner and Willis are compatible with the opinions expressed in Küster (1997) if consideation is given to the distinctive aspects of the expansion of tree species in Central Europe and the different ecological conditions elsewhere
The role of farming in the postglacial expansion of beech and hornbeam in the oak woodlands of central Europe
Beech did not spread simultaneously in different parts of central Europe. Therefore a climatic deterio ration can hardly account for an oak decline and a subsequent beech expansion. From the fifth millennium BC onwards, farming activities and shifting colonization are reflected by pollen analysis. At the same time, beech became more frequent in many landscapes. As a consequence of the transition from shifting to permanent colonization in the earl…
