  • Human-induced vegetation change in the Turaida vicinity during the Iron Age and the medieval period

    Open AccessAlise Gunnarssone, Aija Ceriņa et al.ARTICLEArchaeologia BALTICA2024

    A lack of detailed information on pollen from the Gauja River valley potentially limits the strength of various reconstructions (vegetation composition, human impact, dominant agricultural activities) for this territory. This study seeks to examine the human-induced changes on vegetation, in particular with regard to the arrival of the Livs in the Turaida vicinity during the Late Iron Age. Here, we present the first analyses of pollen data, macro…

  • Dietary Practices of the Gauja Livs

    Open AccessAlise Gunnarssone, Ester Oras et al.ARTICLEInterdisciplinaria Archaeologica…2024References: 9

    This study reports the first comprehensive data on the dietary aspects of Gauja Livs in the 11th–12th century CE. This region is presently lacking in bioarchaeological material (human bones and ancient plant remains), which is typically used for decoding the ancient diet. To tackle this problem pottery fragments from Turaida hillfort and Pūteļi cemetery were studied using Lipid Residue Analysis. Samples included both pottery clay matrix and burnt…

  • Viduslaiku importa keramika Ikšķilē

    Baiba Dumpe, Alise Gunnarssone et al.ARTICLEArheoloģija un etnogrāfija2022

    Šī raksta mērķis ir izpētīt, ko par viduslaiku Ikšķiles vēsturi varam uzzināt, analizējot keramikas atradumus, un kā tie saistās ar rakstītos avotos atrodamajām ziņām un arheoloģiskajiem pētījumiem par vietas apbūvi un izmantošanu. Īpaša uzmanība pievērsta apstākļiem, kas varēja sekmēt noteiktu viduslaiku keramikas veidu nonākšanu Ikšķilē, kā arī tam, kā trauku palieku stāvokli kultūrslānī ietekmējusi vietas izmantošana jaunajos laikos.

  • The transmission of pottery technology among prehistoric European hunter-gatherers

    Open AccessE V Dolbunova, Alexandre Lucquin et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2022Cited by: 9References: 74

    Human history has been shaped by global dispersals of technologies, although understanding of what enabled these processes is limited. Here, we explore the behavioural mechanisms that led to the emergence of pottery among hunter-gatherer communities in Europe during the mid-Holocene. Through radiocarbon dating, we propose this dispersal occurred at a far faster rate than previously thought. Chemical characterization of organic residues shows that…

  • Between mighty hillforts

    Open AccessVanda Visocka, Alise Gunnarssone et al.ARTICLEArchaeologia BALTICA2021

    This paper presents the results of a multi-method study of the Laukskola Late Bronze Age open field settlement pottery assemblage. The aim of the study was to describe the technical and stylistic aspects of Laukskola pottery, and their relationship with the nearby hillfort material. The production tendencies and their role in the function of the pottery were also analysed. Macroscopic analysis combined with ceramic petrography, reflective transfo…

  • Cooking for the Living and the Dead

    Open AccessAlise Gunnarssone, Ester Oras et al.ARTICLEEstonian Journal of Archaeology2020Cited by: 5References: 6

    This paper is intended as a contribution to the understanding of Late Iron Age food consumption patterns and dietary preferences along the lower course of the River Daugava. The multidisciplinary study analysed the ceramic vessels from the 11thâ 13th century RauÅ¡i settlement and cemetery. We used lipid residue analysis employing GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry), GC-C-IRMS (gas-chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry…
