A double-sided ivory comb with two animal pursuit scenes from a 6th century CE burial at Deiningen, Germany
Colluvial sediments originating from past land-use activities in the Erzgebirge Mountains, Central Europe
Colluvial sediments originating from soil erosion on slopes have proven to constitute significant evidence for tracing past human impact on mountain landscapes. In the Central European Erzgebirge (Ore) Mountains, colluvial sediments are associated with specific landforms (footslopes, slope flattenings, dells) and cover a share of 11% (11,905 ha) of the regional soil landscape. Thirteen pedosedimentary sections with colluvial layers were investiga…
Evidence for Bronze Age and Medieval tin placer mining in the Erzgebirge mountains, Saxony (Germany)
Tin is an essential raw material both for the copper–tin alloys developed during the Early Bronze Age and for the casting of tableware in the Medieval period. Secondary geological deposits in the form of placers (cassiterite) provide easily accessible sources but have often been reworked several times during land‐use history. In fact, evidence for the earliest phase of tin mining during the Bronze Age has not yet been confirmed for any area in Eu…
Cut and covered
Knowledge of historic changes in vegetation, relief, and soil is key in understanding how the uplands in central Europe have changed during the last millennium, being an essential requirement for measures on forest conversion and nature conservation in that area. Evidence of forest‐clearing horizons from the medieval period could be systematically documented at four low‐ to mid‐altitudinal sites (360–640 meters above mean sea level) in the Harz (…
Beaver ( Castor fiber ) Activity in an Archaeological Context
Bioturbation and intrusive ecofacts are major concerns for the analysis of archaeological sites in wetland environments. Post-sedimentary influence of beavers (Castor fiber) is described for a well dated Late Palaeolithic archaeological record situated in a floodplain in Northern Germany. An extensive burrow system was documented and analysed according to its spatial dimensions and sedimentological properties; it was interpreted to be the result …
De la France vers la Saxe – Des galets peints du Mas d’Azil (Ariège, France) dans les collections archéologiques de la Saxe
Cette contribution est consacrée à une trentaine de galets peints du Mas d’Azil qui ont été dénichés récemment dans le Staatliches Museum für Archäologie à Chemnitz (Allemagne). L’étude retrace l’historique muséographique de ces pièces et rappelle qu’elles ont été directement offertes, en 1899, par le fouilleur Édouard Piette à la collection royale préhistorique du musée de Dresde. L’identification de la provenance rend peu probable le fait qu’il…
From France to Saxony – Painted pebbles from Le Mas d’Azil (Ariège) in the archaeological collections from Saxony
This contribution presents about 30 painted pebbles from Le Mas d’Azil which have been recently detected in the Staatliches Museum für Archäologie à Chemnitz (Germany). This study retraces the history of these pieces since their discovery at the site and demonstrates that they have been directly donated, in 1899, by the excavator Édouard Piette to the royal collection of prehistory at Dresden. The identification of their origin makes it unlikely …

Forest exploitation for charcoal production and timber since the 12th century in an intact medieval mining site in the Niederpöbel Valley (Erzgebirge, Eastern Germany)
Ivory or bone? A report on practical experience determining material from the Mesolithic site Klein Breese (Northern Germany)
Late Pleistocene to Early Holocene natural and human influenced sediment dynamics and soil formation in a 0-order catchment in SW-Germany (Palatinate Forest)
The existence of open areas during the Mesolithic
Multiproxy Analyses of Stratigraphy and Palaeoenvironment of the Late Palaeolithic Grabow Floodplain Site, Northern Germany
Changing river courses and fluctuations of the water table were some of the most fundamental environmental changes that humans faced during the Late Glacial, particularly as these changes affected areas intensively used for settlement and resource exploitation. Unfortunately, only a few stratigraphies have been documented in the North European plain that show the interaction between river development, vegetation history, and occupation by Late Pa…
