  • Project Wear

    Open AccessLaura Dietrich, Christoph von Tycowicz et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2026Referências: 5

    The WEAR project is developing integrative methods to analyse and predict use-related shape transformation of Neolithic stone tools from Central Europe through experimental archaeology and computational modelling

  • LBK outpost of Eilsleben

    Open AccessLaura Dietrich, Franziska Knoll et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2026Referências: 4

    The Linear Pottery Culture site of Eilsleben, Germany, is the earliest potential fortified settlement in the borderland between the Early Neolithic world and Late Mesolithic populations. Building on extensive excavations and new fieldwork, an interdisciplinary programme investigates models of interaction between early farmers and Mesolithic hunter-gatherers in this region

  • Fresh light on Balkan prehistory

    Open AccessBarbara Horejs, Aleksandar Bulatović et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2025Referências: 4

    Searching for the Neolithic along the Vardar-Morava River corridor revealed several new sites in a previously underexplored region. Multidisciplinary investigations at Svinjarička Čuka identified Neolithic and Bronze Age occupation. Highlights presented here demonstrate the potential of this new key site for enriching our understanding of the prehistory of the Balkans

  • Scrap Metal Hoards’ of the Later Urnfield Period in the Carpathian Basin

    Open AccessOliver Dietrich, Laura Dietrich et al.ARTICLEDocumenta Praehistorica2022

    Large ‘scrap’ metal hoards have so far been seen as a characteristic of the older Urnfield Period in the eastern Carpathian Basin. Using the hoard from Dezmir, Romania, as a starting point, this paper describes a group of hoards with chronologically and spatially diverse components. These hoards were hidden during the younger Urnfield Period and represent smaller variants of the older, large ‘scrap’ hoards. Earlier research has used them to defin…

  • Hermetic Cereal Storage in the Bronze Age

    Open AccessLaura Dietrich, Oliver Dietrich et al.ARTICLEDocumenta Praehistorica2022Referências: 8

    The present paper explores the possibility to better understand the function of pits through phytolith and starch analysis. A case study from the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age settlement phase of Rotbav in southeastern Transylvania is discussed in detail. It appears that a large storage vessel originally sealed with a bowl was kept in a pit filled with chaff or straw to preserve its contents

  • New Multi-disciplinary Data from the Neolithic in Serbia. The 2019 and 2021 Excavations at Svinjarička Čuka

    Open AccessBarbara Horejs, Aleksandar Bulatović et al.ARTICLEArchaeologia Austriaca2022Citada por: 5Referências: 7

    The excavations at SvinjariÄ ka Ä uka in the South Morava Valley in Serbia are presented with new primary data from the field and related material and scientific analyses. Newly recovered architectural remains from the classical StarÄ evo period revealed a variety of domestic features, so far belonging to an earlier and later occupation phase at the river terrace dating between 5700/5600 and 5500 BC. Details of the stratigraphy and certain materi…

  • Investigating the function of Pre-Pottery Neolithic stone troughs from Göbekli Tepe – An integrated approach

    Open AccessLaura Dietrich, Eva Götting-Martin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2020Citada por: 3Referências: 21

    An integrated approach using contextual, use-wear, scientific and experimental methods was used to analyze the role of stone troughs of up to 165 l capacity at the Early Neolithic site Göbekli Tepe in the context of other stone containers found there. Around 600 (mostly fragmentary) vessels from the site constitute the largest known assemblage from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic of the Near East. Besides the large limestone troughs, it encompasses mid…

  • The meaning of projectile points in the Late Neolithic of the Northern Levant

    Open AccessLaura Dietrich, Dörte Rokitta-Krumnow et al.ARTICLEDocumenta Praehistorica2019

    Our contribution explores the possibilities of inferring the functions of Late Neolithic projectile points from the settlement of Shir, Syria. Use-wear and metrical values are applied to differentiate between arrowheads, darts and thrusting spears, followed by a discussion of hints for use for hunting or as weapons for interpersonal conflict. Weapons get larger and more visible exactly in the moment when hunting declines as a basis for subsistenc…

  • Masks and masquerade in the Early Neolithic

    Oliver Dietrich, J Notroff et al.ARTICLETime and Mind2018

    This paper reviews evidence for masks in the Upper Mesopotamian Pre-Pottery Neolithic. Possible stone miniatures (and one supra life-sized example) of masks from sites like Jerf el Ahmar, Göbekli Tepe and Nevalı Çori are discussed. It is argued that during the early Neolithic in the Near East, masks and masking possessed a significant role in rituals reenacting mythological narratives closely related to death, taking place at sites with special p…

  • Deciphering Feasting in the Late Bronze Age Settlement of Rotbav, Transylvania

    Open AccessLaura Dietrich, Adrian Bălășescu et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Archaeology2017Citada por: 1Referências: 7

    In the present article we explore the possibilities of reconstructing social behaviour through a detailed analysis of the so-called ‘ashmounds’ of the Late Bronze Age in Eastern Europe, starting from new research at a settlement of the Noua culture, Rotbav in south-eastern Transylvania. For the first time, the excavations comprised not only the ‘ashmound’ but also its vicinity, revealing the existence of structures like houses and pits. Furthermo…

  • Wietenberg ohne Mykene? Gedanken zu Herkunft und Bedeutung der Keramikverzierung der Wietenberg-Kultur

    Laura Dietrich, Oliver DietrichARTICLEPraehistorische Zeitschrift2011Citada por: 3Referências: 1

    Die Feinkeramik der mittelbronzezeitlichen Wietenberg-Kultur in Siebenbürgen ist gekennzeichnet durch Kompositionen aus gleichförmigen, sich wiederholenden ‚spiraloiden‘ oder ‚mäandroiden‘ Motiven. Diese pauschal als „Spiralzier“ bezeichneten Muster wurden oft mit Einflüssen aus dem mykenischen Raum in Verbindung gebracht. Ausgehend von einer detaillierten Untersuchung der Keramikzier der Wietenberg-Kultur wird nachgewiesen, dass es sich nicht im…

  • Eliten der frühen und mittleren Bronzezeit im südöstlichen Karpatenbecken
