Evidence for long-distance contacts at the turn of eras
Located in the North European Plain and the heart of the Polish lands, the historic region of Kuyavia has long been an area where cultural communication and trade routes criss-crossed. This geographical characteristic had transformative effects on the region’s inhabitants of the Pre-Roman and Roman Iron Age, known as the Przeworsk culture. The attributes of a prehistoric society flourishing in a region of peripheral cross-roads are particularly m…
The Treasure of Roman denarii from Gąski site no. 18 (Kuyavia). Preliminary remarks
The Barbaricum – the lands beyond the borders of the Roman Empire – was a space of dynamic population movements, intensive trade contacts and long-distance war expeditions. The treasure of Roman denarii, found in the summer of 1987 at the settlement of the Iron Age Przeworsk culture at Gąski (Kuyavia, Poland), archaeological site no. 18, is well-embedded into this historical setting. The deposit, which probably consisted of 143 coins originally, …
Wstęp
This article offers an introduction to the 30th anniversary volume of Folia Praehistorica Posnaniensia, a peer-reviewed journal with a longstanding presence in the archaeological community. For decades, Folia has been an important forum for exchanging scientific ideas in archaeology. The journal presents research on the prehistory and early Middle Ages of Central Europe, Mediterranean archaeology, and, in recent years, interdisciplinary areas and…
Amber in the Iron Age communities of the Kuyavia region. A case study of Gąski site no. 18
The historic region of Kuyavia has long represented an important area of cross-cultural communication in the heart of the Polish lands. During the Iron Age, Kuyavia evolved into a transit area for the amber trade between continental Europe and the Mediterranean region. This had transformative effects on the area’s inhabitants, known as members of the Przeworsk Culture, for instance in Gąski site no. 18, where the remains of a Pre-Roman Iron Age c…
Metal-for-Amber in the European Bronze Age
Baltic amber is often considered the principal Scandinavian commodity exchanged for metal from ore-rich regions in Europe. If correct, this may explain the astonishing metal wealth of the Nordic Bronze Age and the modest social consumption of amber locally. The hypothesis of a metal-for-amber principle behind the trade is here for the first time assessed on scales from micro to macro. Amber finds were charted across Europe, and the result was the…
Area-Optimized, Rapid UAV-Borne Recording of Medieval Heritage in Central Asia
Current consumer-grade UAV technology is economical, highly automated, and well-suited for large area prospection. At the same time, rapid recording of sites and monuments that cannot be preserved or protected in their entirety is becoming a key research topic. We address the critical issue of designing UAV-based workflows to maximize area coverage on a strictly limited time budget. We illustrate our rationale and the evolution of our methods and…
The bronze cup from Dohnsen in the light of old and new evidence
The bronze cup found in Dohnsen (Lower Saxony, Northern Germany) in the 1950s is an enigmatic artefact that bears striking similarities with the metalwork of the Late Aegean Bronze Age. We provide an accurate review of the primary sources of information on the cup's find history and context, and present the results of previously unpublished chemical and Pb isotope analyses. The latter suggest that the vessel might have been produced from Central …
Exploratory Network Reconstruction with Sparse Archaeological Data and XTENT
This contribution discusses methods for reconstructing the links of past physical networks, based on archaeological site locations and mathematical models of few parameters. Networks are ubiquitous features of human culture. They structure the geographical patterning of the archaeological record strongly. But while material evidence of networked social interaction is abundant (e.g. similarities in artefact types and technologies), preserved physi…
Underwater Videogrammetry with Adaptive Feature Detection at "See am Mondsee", Austria
We present a complete, video-based 3d documentation process for the submerged remains of Neolithic pile dwellings at the UNESCO World Heritage Site "See am Mondsee" in Austria. We discuss good practice routines and solutions, such as cable management, supporting the Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) when strong currents are prevalent, and documentation/record keeping. The recorded site is a Neolithic lake village dating to the 4th millenium BC. B…
Connected Histories
The Bronze Age was the first epoch in which societies became irreversibly linked in their co-dependence on ores and metallurgical skills that were unevenly distributed in geographical space. Access to these critical resources was secured not only via long-distance physical trade routes, making use of landscape features such as river networks, as well as built roads, but also by creating immaterial social networks, consisting of interpersonal rela…
