Holocene Floodplain Transformation Through Catchment‐Scale Human‐Environment Interactions
Floodplains across the European loess region transformed from nature‐ to human‐dominated environments during the Holocene. A general framework of this evolution is well established, but it is less clear how differences in timing—observed within and between catchments—can be explained. Although human impact is an important driver, little attention has thus far been paid to the actual human activities involved, their intensities, and spatiotemporal…
Middle Neolithic fluorites in Northern France and Belgium
Early and High Medieval (c. 650 AD–1250 AD) Charcoal Production and Its Impact on Woodland Composition in the Northwest-European Lowland
The study of charcoal production pits (pit kilns), excavated in central Belgium, provides information on Early and High Medieval woodland dynamics and human impact on the forest composition in the Northwest-European Lowland. Radiocarbon dating of charcoal recovered from the kilns demonstrates two different phases of charcoal production, one during the Early Medieval period (c. 650 AD–950 AD) and one during the High Medieval period (c. 1040 AD–126…
The Conservation and Degradation of Archaeological Soil Features in Flanders and Brussels
Ten years ago, an extensive literature study on the conservation and degradation of soil features in Flanders was conducted. The outcome was a report discussing the state of preservation. The present contribution intends to synthesize the chief outcomes of that research and to present a case study where the theoretical knowledge and recommendations then put forward have been applied
Le Néolithique moyen II dans le sud-ouest du Bassin de l’Escaut
Depuis une décennie, la documentation concernant le Néolithique moyen II du Nord de la France s’est renouvelée et étoffée notamment grâce à l’archéologie préventive. Ces nouvelles données montrent que les caractères originaux qui avaient permis de définir le groupe de Spiere sont représentés sur les sites du Nord de la France tant dans le mobilier céramique que dans l’industrie lithique. Les premières analyses des séries céramiques et lithiques n…
Taking microliths into account
I thank Crombéet al.for their comment on an earlier paper (Vanmontfort 2008) and the editor of this journal for providing me with the opportunity to reply to their critique. They use two intensively surveyed and studied areas in the lower Scheldt region to compare the microlith-based method with a site-based approach. Actually this comparison nicely illustrates the potential of the method. My Figure 3 compares the calculated frequencies of sites …
Forager–farmer connections in an ‘unoccupied’ land
Can we attribute the middle Neolithic in the Scheldt and middle Meuse basins to the Michelsberg Culture
Cette contribution présente l’information disponible pour évaluer le Néolithique moyen des bassins de l’Escaut et de la Meuse. On propose la dénomination du Groupe de Spiere comme nouvelle entité du Néolithique moyen dans la région. Les différentes entités culturelles devraient être considérées comme des développements régionaux, en interaction constante avec les régions avoisinantes
