Technological Traces on Bone Artefacts from the Late Mesolithic Forest Zone
The Mesolithic population inhabiting the Eastern European Forest zone demonstrated remarkable skill in processing bone raw materials and crafting a diverse array of implements for both strategic and domestic purposes. Our knowledge these tools and their production methods stems largely from wetland sites in the region, which have preserved an extensive collection of artеfacts – including finished products, blanks, and cuttings bearing clear techn…
The Use of Roots and Burrs for Hafting Non-Shaft-Hole Adzeheads by Mesolithic and Neolithic Hunter-Fisher-Gatherers in Europe
Mesolithic hunter-fisher-gatherers manufactured many kinds of composite tools, among them a variety of adzes and axes with antler, bone, stone or wood heads and other insets. The adzes and axes were constructed from two or three parts, sometimes including a fixed or a separate one- or two-part intermediate piece between handle and blade. These sleeves were made of different raw materials and shapes. This paper presents new results on wooden sleev…
Typological Analysis and Assessment of the Bone-Working Stone Inventory of the Zamostje 2 Late Mesolithic Layer
The article presents the results of a typological and functional analysis of flint assemblage from the Late Mesolithic layer (II half of the 7th – early 6th millennium cal BC) at the site Zamostje 2 (Volga-Oka region). The studied series of flint implements is limited to a material from the excavations of 1996–97 and has 11892 artefacts. A typological analysis of the Late Mesolithic flint industry at Zamostje 2 showed the absence of standard blan…
Fishing Nets and String at the Final Mesolithic and Early Neolithic Site of Zamostje 2, Sergiev Posad (Russia)
The site Zamostje 2, located in Sergiev-Posad district of Moscow (Russia) on the west bank of the Dubna River, has provided two Mesolithic and one Early Neolithic occupations dated from 7000 to 5400 cal BC. Thanks to the waterlogged environment, the site has an exceptional preservation. The site has yielded fishing screens, fishing fences, wooden fishing traps, and several small cordage remains elaborated with plant fibres, pine bark floats, frag…
Techniques and Ideas. Zigzag Motif, Barbed Line, and Shaded Band in the Meso-Neolithic Bone Assemblage at Zamostje 2, Volga-Oka Region (Russia)
Mesolithic geometric ornamentation is a part of the complex worldview of the latest hunter-gatherer societies. Questions about the functional role of the ornament in utilitarian objects – knives, daggers, arrowheads, etc. – do not have an unambiguous answer. Despite a variability of ornamental motives used, there are some stable connections between certain types of ornaments with some categories of bone tools. On the materials of the Late and Fin…
The transmission of pottery technology among prehistoric European hunter-gatherers
Human history has been shaped by global dispersals of technologies, although understanding of what enabled these processes is limited. Here, we explore the behavioural mechanisms that led to the emergence of pottery among hunter-gatherer communities in Europe during the mid-Holocene. Through radiocarbon dating, we propose this dispersal occurred at a far faster rate than previously thought. Chemical characterization of organic residues shows that…
Stylized animal images in the bone inventory of Mesolithic Hunters-Fishers at Zamostje 2 (Volga-Oka region)
Catastrophic changes in vegetation ca. 8.2 ka & lake settlements in the Volga-Oka Region (based on the site Zamostje 2)
The most important changes in the economy and material culture in foraging societies of the Eastern Eu rope forest zone on the eve of the spread of ceramic production coincided with the 8.2 ka Cold Event and its consequences. We consider these changes in the local example of the site Zamostje 2 located in Volga-Oka re gion, using results of longtime multidisciplinary research. Findings of our archaeological and paleoecological studies and compari…
Bone and antler projectile points from the Meso-Neolithic site Zamostje 2, Moscow region, Russia
This volume of the series 'Untersuchungen und Materialien zur Steinzeit in Schleswig-Holstein und im Ostseeraum' represents the proceedings of a workshop held at the Centre for Baltic and Scandinavian Archaeology (ZBSA) in Schleswig in March 2016. It is a part of the editors' project 'Neubewertung von Chronologie und Stratigraphie des frhholoznen Fundplatzes Hohen Viecheln (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) unter besonderer Bercksichtigung der diagnostisch…
Lake Settlements of the Upper Volga Region in the 7—6th Mil. Cal Bc
In the Middle Holocene, favorable living conditions were formed environmental on the territory of the modern Upper Volga River, which, after the retreat of the latest glacier, abounded with a branched system of feeders. They contributed to the economic stability driven by hunting for elk and beaver, waterfowl and marsh birds, as well as intensive fishing. In the recent decades, it was considered proven that ceramics were perceived by the native p…

Сhronology of early Neolithic materials of the site Sakhtysh IIa (Central Russia)
The Upper Volga culture (UVC) in the Volga and Oka basin is one of the earliest pottery cultures in Eastern Europe. The Sakhtysh IIa site is attributed to the core area of the UVC, with pottery encompassing all stages of this culture. A detailed analysis of artefact deposition in different layers allows the creation of chronological models of early pottery development in this region. A series of new radiocarbon dates of food crust on pottery she…
