Nascent agricultural extensification and distinct household cultivation strategies supported first population centers in Neolithic southeastern Europe
Late Neolithic settlements in southeastern Europe expanded to unprecedented sizes, potentially reshaping agricultural practices and household production strategies in response to increasing demographic and environmental constraints. On the Great Hungarian Plain, such population aggregation occurred within landscapes characterized by extensive wetlands and limited arable land, raising questions about how cultivation regimes were organized and whet…
Bronze Age Matting from the Heights of Vésztő-Mágor, Hungary
Tell settlements often provide a unique window into prehistoric lifeways due to remarkable preservation and safeguarding from modern disturbances. Vésztő-Mágor in Hungary is one such tell with stratigraphy, features and finds that reflect thousands of years of prehistoric settlement. In 2021, the Vésztő-Mágor Conservation and Exhibition Program began the work of stabilizing, documenting and preserving prehistoric deposits, features and artefacts …
Saving the past for the future
Tells are exceptional archaeological settings, valuable not only for examining prehistoric developments but also for their potential to serve as centers of public engagement and education. However, methodological guidelines for how to preserve and present excavated trenches to the public currently are underdeveloped, particularly regarding tell sites. This paper provides the first comprehensive overview of the Vésztő-Mágor Conservation and Exhibi…
Megmenteni a múltat a jövő számára
A tellek olyan egyedülálló régészeti helyszínek, amelyek nemcsak az őskori fejlődési folyamatok vizsgálatára nyújtanak értékes lehetőséget, hanem rendelkeznek azzal a pontenciállal, hogy közösségi és oktatási központokként is szolgáljanak. Ugyanakkor a régészeti feltárási szelvények állagmegóvására és bemutatására vonatkozó módszertani irányelvek jelenleg kidolgozatlanok, és különösen igaz ez a tellek vonatkozásában. A jelen tanulmány első alkalo…
Exploring the limits of the provenience postulate
Determining the provenience of archaeological objects relies on the so-called "provenience postulate," namely, that sources of these objects are more compositionally distinct from each other than they are internally variable. For ceramics, it can be relatively straightforward in geologically heterogeneous environments to determine where vessels were produced, and whether they were traded or not. In geologically homogeneous regions, this can be fa…
A Medieval Rural Domestic Structure at Quien, Isle of Bute
Archaeological investigations were undertaken at Quien, Isle of Bute in 2010 as part of the Discover Bute Landscape Partnership Scheme. Excavations demonstrated that a putative early medieval chapel in fact dates to between the 11 th and 13 th centuries AD. Associated artefacts from the surrounding enclosure bank suggest a more domestic character to the structure. An isolated pit also provided evidence of prehistoric activity in the vicinity

Locating Mesolithic Hunter-Gatherer Camps in the Carpathian Basin
The Mesolithic in Eastern Europe was the last time that hunter-gatherer economies thrived there before the spread of agriculture in the second half of the seventh millennium BC. But the period, and the interactions between foragers and the first farmers, are poorly understood in the Carpathian Basin and surrounding areas because few sites are known, and even fewer have been excavated and published. How did site location differ between Mesolithic …
Tuesday Morning’, the schoolboy and Mann
The rediscovery of human remains, correspondence and other unpublished excavation archival material in the Glasgow Museums collection of Ludovic McLellan Mann prompted the reappraisal of a short archaeological investigation undertaken in April 1931 at Holm Park, near Ballantrae, Ayrshire, by a schoolboy, Eric French and his biology teacher, William Hoyland. This article offers a re-evaluation of their fieldwork which exposed two inhumation burial…

From Carrickfergus to Carcassonne
"Hinging upon the personal story of a charismatic individual - Hugh de Lacy, earl of Ulster, 'From Carrickfergus to Carcassonne' explores the wider interplay between the Gaelic, Angevin, Capetian and Occitan worlds in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. This book brings to light new research linking de Lacy to a conspiracy with the French king and details his subsequent exile and participation in the Albigensian Crusade in the south …

Pararchive and Island Stories
This article draws on work undertaken during two recent research projects that focused on the practices and experiences of a group of heritage volunteers working on rural settlement archaeology on the Isle of Bute, Scotland. In it we outline the process of co-creation of the YARN digital storytelling platform, explore the methodological approach employed for successful co-design, and reflect on how our initial experiences have led to a longer ter…
Population genomics of Bronze Age Eurasia
The Bronze Age of Eurasia (around 3000–1000 BC) was a period of major cultural changes. However, there is debate about whether these changes resulted from the circulation of ideas or from human migrations, potentially also facilitating the spread of languages and certain phenotypic traits. We investigated this by using new, improved methods to sequence low-coverage genomes from 101 ancient humans from across Eurasia. We show that the Bronze Age w…

Electrical Resistivity Tomography for the Modelling of Cultural Deposits and Geomophological Landscapes at Neolithic Sites
A large‐scale electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) survey was undertaken around the Neolithic tell of Szeghalom‐Kovácshalom in southeast Hungary, covering an area of almost 6 ha. High‐resolution ERT data were collected along 28 uniformly distributed transects of variable length using the roll‐along technique. A recently presented two‐dimensional fast non‐linear resistivity inversion algorithm was used to invert the ERT data and recover the tru…

Grassroots Archaeology
The Grassroots Archaeology Project is a home-grown community-based initiative aiming to combine professional expertise and local support to discover the story of a forgotten monument. The monument in question, a suspected medieval moated site, has been subsumed by the modern Seagrange housing estate where I grew up in suburban Dublin. Throughout the stages of the project, the Grassroots Team has worked to engage the public and to disseminate new …
Integration of geophysical surveys, ground hyperspectral measurements, aerial and satellite imagery for archaeological prospection of prehistoric sites
The Körös Basin from the Neolithic to the Hapsburgs
Forest grazing and seaweed foddering
A group of Early Neolithic features probably relating to the cooking of food was excavated. Several of these features contained considerable amounts of carbonised botanical remains, providing a broader insight into the landscape where these features were found. Analysis of the remains suggests that there has been a short phase of occupation, radiocarbon dated to 3780-3650 cal BC
Excavation of the defensive ditches at Balmuildy Roman Fort, Glasgow, 1999
Excavation by GUARD in 1999 on the southern defences of Balmuildy Roman fort exposed small sections of three ditches: two to the W of the S gate of the fort, one to the E. All were found in locations consistent with Miller's 1922 excavation plan of the site, though, contrary to expectations, none of these features appeared to have been previously excavated. The limited investigations produced no information which would substantially alter our und…
An Iron Age burial from Swainbost, Isle of Lewis
In May 2001, Glasgow University Archaeological Research Division (GUARD) undertook an archaeological excavation at Swainbost, Isle of Lewis, under the provisions of the Historic Scotland Human Remains Call Off Contract, following the discovery of the partial remains of a coastally-eroded in-situ human burial. The remains were found to be from one individual, probably male, aged between 30 and 34 years at death with a slight deformity of the spine…

A Medieval Burial from Graham Street, Leith, Edinburgh
An archaeological excavation was carried out at Graham Street, Leith, Edinburgh by Glasgow University Archaeological Research Division (GUARD) as part of the Historic Scotland Human Remains Call-off Contract following the discovery of human remains during machine excavation of a foundation trench for a new housing development. Excavation demonstrated that the burial was that of a young adult male who had been interred in a supine position with hi…
