Dietary Practices During the Late Neolithic and the Bronze Age in the Territory of Latvia
This paper deals with the identification and comparison of dietary practices and their changes from the Late Neolithic to the Late Bronze Age in two different ecosystems – the lower reaches of the Daugava river and Lake Lubāns wetland. Zooarchaeological, palaeobotanical, and stable isotope evidence of chemical elements were used. The obtained results show that the beginning of early farming in Latvia can be observed in the late Neolithic period, …
Between mighty hillforts
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…
New Data of Funeral Customs and Burials of Bronze Age Reznes Cemetery in Latvia
The Bronze Age barrow cemetery in Reznes was located on the right bank of the River Daugava on a paleoisland. In total, eight barrows have been recorded in the cemetery. Archaeological excavations took place in the 1930s, led by E. Å turms, and in the 1950s and 1960s, led by J. Graudonis. Altogether, seven barrows have been excavated. Several barrows had secondary burials from the Late Iron Age and the historical period, thus complicating archaeo…
Re-Evaluating the Bronze and Earliest Iron Age in Latvia
Until recently, there was a lack of radiocarbon ( 14 C) dates from the Bronze and Earliest Iron Age (1800–500–1 BC) burial sites in Latvia. The chronology of the sites was assessed on the basis of archaeological analogies with neighboring regions and typological studies of the rather meagre grave inventory. In order to establish a firm foundation for an absolute chronology of burial sites and to better understand changes in mortuary practices dur…
