  • Early to Middle Bronze Age agricultural terraces in north-east England

    Open AccessAntony G Brown, Antony Brown et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2023Citada por: 1Referências: 33

    Terracing is found widely in the Mediterranean and in other hilly and mountainous regions of the world. Yet while archaeological attention to these 'mundane' landscape features has grown, they remain understudied, particularly in Northern Europe. Here, the authors present a multidisciplinary study of terraces in the Breamish Valley, Northumberland. The results date their construction to the Early to Middle Bronze Age, when they were built by cutt…

  • New integrated molecular approaches for investigating lake settlements in north-western Europe

    Open AccessAntony G Brown, Antony Brown et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2022Citada por: 1Referências: 25

    Lake settlements, particularly crannogs, pose several contradictions—visible yet inaccessible, widespread yet geographically restricted, persistent yet vulnerable. To further our understanding, we developed the integrated use of palaeolimnological (scanning XRF, pollen, spores, diatoms, chironomids, Cladocera, microcharcoal, biogenic silica, SEM-EDS, stable-isotopes) and biomolecular (faecal stanols, bile acids, sedaDNA) analyses of crannog cores…

  • Lake Sedimentary DNA Research on Past Terrestrial and Aquatic Biodiversity

    Open AccessEric Capo, Charline Giguet-Covex et al.ARTICLEQuaternary2021

    The use of lake sedimentary DNA to track the long-term changes in both terrestrial and aquatic biota is a rapidly advancing field in paleoecological research. Although largely applied nowadays, knowledge gaps remain in this field and there is therefore still research to be conducted to ensure the reliability of the sedimentary DNA signal. Building on the most recent literature and seven original case studies, we synthesize the state-of-the-art an…

  • Landscape change in the Nile Delta during the fourth millennium BC

    Benjamin T Pennington, Penelope Wilson et al.ARTICLEWorld Archaeology2020Citada por: 6Referências: 35

    The role environmental change may have played at the dawn of Egyptian history has been overlooked in comparison with other periods. Natural landscape changes taking place in the Nile Delta are argued here to have been a facilitating factor allowing, and possibly stimulating, socioeconomic changes leading to the ‘Lower Egyptian – Naqada Transition’ (LE-NT, c. 3350 BC). In this context, the LE-NT may be understood in terms of regional elites using …

  • Eels, Beavers, and Horses

    Antony G Brown, Antony Brown et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…2017Citada por: 1Referências: 82

    This paper examines interactions between co-occupants of riverine niches in north-west Europe during the Late Upper Palaeolithic using both ecological and archaeological data. It is argued that consideration of both the Lateglacial record and autecology of eel, beaver and horse supports a reinterpretation of some famous but enigmatic panels of Magdalenian mobiliary art as representations of eel fishing, along with horse and beaver exploitation in…

  • The Environmental Context and Function of Burnt-Mounds

    Open AccessAntony G Brown, Antony Brown et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…2016Citada por: 3Referências: 16

    Burnt mounds, or fulachtaí fiadh as they are known in Ireland, are probably the most common prehistoric site type in Ireland and Britain. Typically Middle–Late Bronze Age in age (although both earlier and later examples are known), they are artefact-poor and rarely associated with settlements. The function of these sites has been much debated with the most commonly cited uses being for cooking, as steam baths or saunas, for brewing, tanning, or t…

  • Late Holocene Paleoecology and Sedimentary History of a Small Lowland Catchment in Central England

    Open AccessAntony G Brown, Antony Brown et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1985

    A variety of paleoecological and sedimentary techniques were used to investigate the storage of sediment within a small lowland catchment during the Holocene. Radiocarbon dating of vertically accreted floodplain deposits allowed the calculation of inorganic accumulation rates. These rates show a dramatic increase in sediment deposition during the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age (2900-2300 yr B.P.) due to deforestation and cultivation of the ca…
