Making the Most of Soils in Archaeology. A Review
Sediments serve as an archive of human and animal activity and environmental conditions through their physical and chemical properties as well as captured biological traces. Archaeologists have been extracting information from archaeological soils and sediments for decades, but recent technological developments, such as the analysis of lipid biomarkers, proteins, and ancient DNA from soil and the diversification of approaches necessitate a re-exa…
Multi-proxy analyses of a minerotrophic fen to reconstruct prehistoric periods of human activity associated with salt mining in the Hallstatt region (Austria)
In this study, periods of prehistoric anthropogenic activity in the Hallstatt salt mining area (Upper Austria) are reconstructed from elemental (XRF-scanning, Q-ICP-MS) and Pb isotopic analyses (206Pb,207Pb,208Pb) of a radiocarbon-dated, 137-cm-long peat core covering the past ~7,000 years. The peat core was retrieved from a minerotrophic fen in the Hallstatt High Valley. Distinct metal enrichments attributed to low anthropogenic impact in Hallst…
Food and farming beyond the Alpine lake zone
Years of environmental sustainability in the large-scale alpine mining district of Hallstatt, Austria
Throughout time, salt has played a crucial role in societies representing one of the most precious natural raw materials that can be extracted from the environment. The Austrian Alps are home to the world’s oldest and extensively studied record of large-scale underground salt mining: the UNESCO World Heritage site Hallstatt-Dachstein/Salzkammergut. In this study, we focus for the first time on the impact that the salt extraction had on the vegeta…
Der bronzezeitliche Bergbau in Hallstatt. Neue Lebensbilder zum Salzbergwerk
The first evidence for underground salt mining in Hallstatt dates to the Bronze Age. In its dimensions, the Bronze Age mining phase rivals the later and better known Iron Age mining. Although both mining communities were confronted with the same challenges, the mining technology and structure, as well as resource management, differ greatly. Bronze Age salt mining was characterised by the use of large shafts, which could reach enormous proportions…

Mining with Agents
Women without History? History without women? Studies on the representation of prehistoric gender roles in Austrian exhibitions
Les expositions archéologiques présentent non seulement des données chronologiques, de la culture matérielle et des techniques de production, mais aussi sur l’organisation sociale et la dynamique sociale. Cela cela comprend aussi le genre et ses développements au cours du temps. Afin d’explorer plus loin ces informations nous avons mis sur pied un projet d’analyse des expositions permanentes en Autriche. Notre postulat de départ était que nous al…
Agent-based Modeling and Simulation in Archaeology
Gabriel Wurzer is a computer scientist working on Agent-Based Simulation at Vienna University of Technology, in which field he is publishing, organizing workshops and holding lectures. Through cooperation with the Natural History Museum Vienna, he developed multiple models on prehistoric salt mining in the prehistoric mines of Hallstatt. Apart from Archaeology, he is also active in the field of Architectural planning, especially Hospital Simulati…
