An Iconic Late Neolithic Tell on the Hungarian Plain
It often happens that the fresh investigation of well-known sites using newly developed techniques and their reassessment brings the recognition that some of the assertions believed to be timelessly true turn out to have been strongly mistaken or were misinterpretations. This has been the case with many of the renowned Late Neolithic tell settlements dated to the earlier fifth millennium BC on the Alföld (Great Hungarian Plain). The collation of …
Egy ikonikus késő neolitikus tell-település az Alföldön
Előfordul, hogy régóta jól ismert lelőhelyek új módszerekkel végzett mai kutatása és újraértékelése közben néhány örök érvényűnek gondolt tézisről kiderül, hogy pusztán tévedés, félreértelmezés. A híres alföldi, az 5. évezred első felére keltezett késő újkőkori tell-településekkel sok esetben szintén ez történik. Az utóbbi években a múlt századi ásatási adatok mellett mind roncsolásmentes vizsgálatok, mind pedig új feltárások eredményeinek összeh…
On the 'pseudo-ditch' system of the Late Neolithic Öcsöd-Kováshalom settlement complex on the Great Hungarian Plain
The well-known Late Neolithic tell-like settlement of Öcsöd-Kováshalom on the Great Hungarian Plain gained a completely new context when a triple enclosure consisting of segments (hence the name 'pseudo-ditch') was discovered in 2018. Followed by two small excavation campaigns, this paper gives account of the construction stages, various digging and filling actions, of the chronology and of the structured deposits that marked the closing event of…
The evolution of dual-chambered updraught kilns on the Cucuteni-Tripolye mega-sites in the 4th millennium BC
Four complex dual-chambered pottery firing kilns have been recently systematically excavated at the Cucuteni-Tripolye mega-site of Stolniceni in Northern Moldova. The data obtained from these investigations are corroborated with older and newer evidences from other sites and allow us to address wide problems such as technological and social context for specialized pottery firing on large Cucuteni-Tripolye settlements from the 4th millennium BC
Test excavation of the “pseudo-ditch” system of the Late Neolithic settlement complex at Öcsöd-Kováshalom on the Great Hungarian Plain
In 2018, the RGK’s research team led by Knut Rassmann undertook the magnetometer survey of the Late Neolithic site of Öcsöd-Kováshalom over a roughly 65 ha large area. An enclosure system of three concentric semi-circular ditches was detected around the tell-like mound that formed the core of the settlement. In order to resolve these issues, we organised a small field school excavation with the support of the RGK and with the participation of the…
Magnetization Patterns as Indicator of Settlement Structures
Inverse filtering of magnetic prospection data to determine magnetization distribution.– Different building types and internal site patterns visible by magnetization
Beyond Newgrange
The Brú na Bóinne World Heritage Site, Ireland is best known for its megalithic monuments, in particular the great developed passage tombs of Knowth, Dowth, and Newgrange, and its abundance of megalithic art. However, our understanding of the wider Brú na Bóinne landscape has changed beyond all recognition in the last decade owing to the application of modern, non-invasive survey technologies – in particular LiDAR and large-scale geophysical surv…

What over 100 drillings tell us
We investigate the relative fractions of remanent and induced magnetization of the fillings of neolithic long pits in order to develop remanent magnetization as an additional parameter for the archaeological interpretation of magnetic maps. We determine the Koenigsberger ratio – the ratio between induced and remanent magnetization intensities – for key targets by combining magnetic mapping with downhole measurements of susceptibility, numerical m…
Deciphering archeological contexts from the magnetic map
The unique size and development of prehistoric megasites of the north Pontic Cucuteni-Tripolye Chalcolithic groups (4100–3600 BCE) challenge modern archeology and paleoecology. The extremely large number of houses (approximately 3000, mostly burned) necessitates the development of multidisciplinary technologies to gain a holistic understanding of such sites. In this contribution, we introduce a novel geophysical methodology and a detailed analysi…

Małgorzata Daszkiewicz, Michael Meyer, Octavian Munteanu, Vasile Iarmulschi, Pottery found at the Horodca Mică and Ulmu Iron Age settlements – results of archaeoceramological analysis
One of the major questions of the Pre-Roman Iron Age settlements in the East part of the Carpathians Region is the relationship between the Getic culture and the Poieneşti-Lukaşevka culture. There are any connections between the settlers of both cultures, or are we dealing with a demolition of the settlements and a complete resettlement by “immigrants” from the north part of Europe? The “getics” pottery in the settlements of the Poieneşti-Lukaşev…
Maidanetske 2013
In European prehistory, population agglomerations of more than 10,000 inhabitants per site are an infrequent phenomenon. The unexpected discovery of the Trypillia mega-sites, excavated nearly 50 years ago by Soviet, Ukrainian and Moldavian archaeologists using a multidisciplinary approach, uncovered the remains of more than 2000 houses spread over 250 hectares. These extraordinary mega-sites developed at the border of the North Pontic Forest Step…
Trypillia Mega-Sites and European Prehistory
A Multidimensional Research Strategy for the Evaluation of Settlement Pits
Irrespective of the region and time period, settlement pits are common features at archaeological sites. Variations in shape, size and fill reflect great diversity in terms of primary and secondary functions. Careful analysis of these aspects and a pit's refilling history yield key information for the reconstruction of economic, social and chronological aspects of settlement history. At present, it is unusual for a settlement site to undergo comp…
The Second Phase of the Trypillia Mega-Site Methodological Revolution
The first phase of the Trypillia mega-sites' methodological revolution began in 1971 with aerial photography, magnetic prospection, and archaeological excavations of huge settlements of hundreds of hectares belonging to the Trypillia culture in Ukraine. Since 2009, we have created a second phase of the methodological revolution in studies of Trypillia mega-sites, which has provided more significant advances in our understanding of these large sit…
Geophysical–Geochemical Reconstruction of Ancient Population Size – the Early Bronze Age Settlement of Fidvár (Slovakia)
Population estimates are a vital backdrop to our understanding of ancient societies' socio‐economic structures and development. In order to facilitate such an informational mise en scène in terms of the early Bronze Age settlement of Fidvár in southwestern Slovakia, a new geophysical–geochemical approach is presented here, the first results of which are very promising. The crux of the new methodology utilizes the population's chemical fingerprint…
The Early Bronze Age settlement of Fidvár, Vráble (Slovakia)
Stonehenge, Wiltshire, UK
An extensive high-resolution geophysical survey covering 2 km 2 was undertaken to the north of Stonehenge in June and October 2011. The survey is important in providing, for the first time, abundant detail on the form and structure of the Stonehenge Cursus, including the recognition of entrances in both of the long sides. Much additional information about the internal form of round barrows in the Cursus Round Barrow Cemetery, the course of the Av…
A Multimethodological Approach for the Investigation of Archaeological Ditches – Exemplified by the Early Bronze Age Settlement of Fidvár Near Vráble (Slovakia)
Buried or refilled archaeological ditches offer great opportunities in terms of reconstructing past human activities and human–nature interactions. The Early Bronze Age settlement of Fidvár in southwestern Slovakia offers excellent opportunities for this kind of geoarchaeological study. Based on previous magnetic prospection further geophysical, sedimentological and geochemical investigations were carried out focusing on the three existing semi‐e…
