Dietary Variability in the Varna Chalcolithic Cemeteries
This article presents the results of AMS radiocarbon dating, stable isotope analysis, and FRUITS dietary modelling to investigate dietary variability among sixty individuals buried at Varna in the mid-fifth millennium bc . The principal pattern was the isotopic clustering of some forty-three per cent of the population, which suggests a ‘Varna core diet’, with the remainder showing a wider variety of isotopic profiles. While there is a slight tren…
Plant remains preserved in products of metal corrosion
By-products of metal corrosion, when coming into contact with organic matter, have the capacity to preserve it from decay. A pilot study was conducted aiming to explore the potential and limitations of plant remains preserved in by-products of metal corrosion for archaeobotanical research. The organic remains considered come from the surface/immediate proximity of the metal funerary artefacts of two ancient cemeteries—Varna and Messambria, Easter…
Lifeway Interpretations From Ancient Diet in the Varna Cemetery
Rescue excavations in the urbanized area of the Varna Bay in 2017 have brought to light 15 prehistoric burials whose grave goods and AMS dating have unequivocally related them to the famous Copper Age cemetery in Varna on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. The newly excavated area was called Varna 3 and the ten AMS‐dated individuals from there and 19 individuals from the Varna 1 cemetery were subjected to FRUITS modelling for the purposes of dietary …
Rescue Excavations of Bronze Age Barrows in Vetrino Region, northeast Bulgaria
Scopul acestui articol este prezentarea cercetărilor arheologice de salvare desfășurate în trei tumuli atribuiți epocii bronzului în regiunea Vetrino din nord-estul Bulgariei. În 2020 au fost cercetate în această regiune 14 morminte atribuite epocii timpurii a bronzului (mileniile IV– III î. Hr.), două epocii mijlocii a bronzului (prima jumătate a mileniului II î. Hr.) și unul atribuit epocii târzii a bronzului (a doua jumătate a mileniului II î.…
Contemporary Copper Age Burials From the Varna Mortuary Zone, Bulgaria
The Copper Age cemetery in Varna, Bulgaria, is famous for the earliest known, massive deposition of exquisite golden artefacts. Radiocarbon dating of the Varna i cemetery, excavated in the period 1972–91, places it in the mid-fifth millennium bc and suggests a duration of c 225 years from c 4550 to c 4325 cal bc . Construction work in the adjacent area (2.5 km to the east of Varna i cemetery) in December 2017 led to the discovery of sixteen new g…

AMS Dating of the Late Copper Age Varna Cemetery, Bulgaria
The Varna I cemetery, on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, is one of the most remarkable sites in European prehistory, with the world’s earliest large-scale assemblage of gold artifacts. Modeling of the first series of 14 accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dates yielded a duration of occupation at the site of ca. 150 years, ~4600–4450 cal BC. However, there were insufficient paired human–animal dates for a full consideration of the question of the …
Chronology and development of the Chalcolithic necropolis of Varna I
In the following paper, we present the main results of our now completed studies of the Varna I cemetery, based on the excavations undertaken by Ivan Ivanov in the years 1972–1991. The richness of the assemblages is singular in Old World prehistory. To tackle the question of its internal, chronological development, we applied correspondence analysis (CA) to a newly created database that includes the inventories of all presently known graves, sym…
Investigating the provenance of obsidian from Neolithic and Chalcolithic sites in Bulgaria
Portable energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) has become a widely used tool for the chemical characterisation (source identification) of obsidian found in archaeological contexts. While laboratory techniques such as neutron activation analysis (NAA) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) can analyse more elements and have lower detection limits, pXRF can provide quantitative data of sufficient resolution to be able to ma…

New perspectives on the Varna cemetery (Bulgaria) - AMS dates and social implications
The research team of this new project has begun the precision radiocarbon dating of the super-important Copper Age cemetery at Varna. These first dates show the cemetery in use from 4560-4450 BC, with the possibility that the richer burials are earlier and the poor burials later in the sequence. The limited number of lavish graves at Varna, representing no more than a handful of paramount chiefs, buried over 50-60 years, suggests a stabilisation …
The social context of the emergence, development and abandonment of the Varna cemetery, Bulgaria
In this article we outline some of the key characteristics of the social structure of the Climax Copper Age in the eastern Balkans and the contributions of the Varna cemetery to those developments. We continue by examining the implications of the new series of 21 AMS dates from the Oxford Radiocarbon Laboratory, which represent the first dates for the Varna Eneolithic cemetery on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Representing the first phase of the …
Varna und die Folgen – Überlegungen zu den Ockergräbern zwischen Karpatenbecken und der nördlichen Ägäis
In zwei zeitlich getrennten Phasen treten ab Mitte des 5. bis zum Beginn des 3. Jts. im Areal von der nördlichen Schwarzmeerküste bis in das östliche Karpatenbecken sogenannte Ockergräber auf. Im Kontext der kupferzeitlichen Tellkulturen des 5. Jts. wird die Beigabe von Ocker erstmals Teil des Bestattungsrituals auf ausgedehnten Gräberfeldern. Diese Entwicklung spielt sich zeitlich parallel zu ersten Ockerbestattungen im nordpontischen Steppengeb…
