Forest Herding and Tree Foddering in Neolithic Europe
Forest grazing and tree leaf foddering were once widespread in Europe. Stable carbon isotope analysis of faunal remains can help investigate the practice back to the Neolithic. The approach presupposes the empirical definition of a threshold δ 13 C value beyond which a forest component in diet is arguable. This objective can be attained in contexts where animals feeding on forest trees were demonstrated independently. We analyzed caprine teeth fr…
Between Life and Death
Building on previous research, this study reports new stable dietary isotope results in conjunction with existing samples from the individuals buried at Mulhouse-Est. This was an early Neolithic cemetery located in Alsace and consisted of 24 articulated burials in addition to disarticulated remains, belonging to the Linearbandkeramik (LBK) culture. The main research question explored whether the diet thus reconstructed varies with burial practice…
Achenheim
Une fouille préventive conduite en 2016 sur le site d’Achenheim Strasse 2, à l’ouest de Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin), a permis l’étude, sur une surface d’un hectare, d’une partie d’un village ceinturé attribué à l’horizon Bruebach-Oberbergen, groupe épiroessénien installé en Basse-Alsace entre 4400 et 4250 av. J.-C. À cet horizon appartient la majorité des fosses de stockage mises au jour (au moins 211 et probablement plus de 350) et un long tronçon d’e…
Achenheim
A preventive excavation carried out in 2016 at the Achenheim Strasse 2 site, west of Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin) investigated part of a ringed village, over an area of one hectare, attributed to the Bruebach-Oberbergen horizon, an Epiroessenian group settled in Lower Alsace between 4400 and 4250 BC. Most of the storage pits discovered belong to this horizon (at least 211 and probably more than 350), and a long section of enclosure outlining a segment o…

Les dépôts humains et animaux en fosses de plan circulaire du 5e millénaire entre Rhin et Danube
De récentes mises au point sur la chronologie absolue des dépôts en fosse de plan circulaire en Bavière, de nouvelles recherches bibliographiques ainsi qu’une série de découvertes réalisées dans le sud de la plaine du Rhin supérieur nous permettent d’émettre l’hypothèse d’une origine de ce phénomène en Europe centrale, entre la Tchéquie et la Bavière. Ces régions ont en effet livré les dépôts les plus anciens et leur typologie recouvre l’ensemble…
Human and animal deposits in circular pits of the 5th millennium between the Rhine and the Danube
On account of recent developments in the absolute chronology of circular-shaped grave deposits from Bavaria, new bibliographic research and a series of discoveries in the south of the Upper Rhine Plain, we can now advance the hypothesis of an origin of this phenomenon in Central Europe, between the Czech Republic and Bavaria. These regions have yielded the earliest deposits with typologies encompassing all of the defined categories: burials in co…
Human and Cattle Remains in a Simultaneous Deposit in the Hellenistic Necropolis of Jal al Bahr in Tyre
Excavations at the Hellenistic necropolis of Jal al Bahr in Tyre (southern Lebanon) have uncovered eight human skeletons buried together with the remains of five cattle crania and mandibles and five vertebral segments (thoracic, lumbar, and sacral vertebrae in various combinations). This deposit, which is separate from the primary single burials in the necropolis, revealed human bodies buried in atypical positions simultaneously with cattle remai…
Un dépôt de renard roux (Vulpes vulpes) du 4e Millénaire av. J.-C. à Entzheim « Les Terres de la Chapelle » (Bas-Rhin)
L’habitat Néolithique récent d’Entzheim « Les Terres de la Chapelle » (cultures de Michelsberg et de Munzingen), fouillé en 2008-2009, a livré les restes en connexion anatomique d’un renard roux reposant sur le fond d’une fosse de plan circulaire. L’animal, installé en position du repos, était accompagné d’un grand fragment de gobelet et de fragments osseux d’un fémur et d’un tibia de jeune bovin. La date radiocarbone réalisée sur os confirme l’a…
Habitat et sépultures du Blicquy/Villeneuve-Saint-Germain à Longueil-Sainte-Marie "Le Barrage" (Oise)
L’habitat BVSG de Longueil-Sainte-Marie "Le Barrage" est situé sur une butte sableuse dans l’un des méandres de l’Oise. Bien qu’ayant subi une érosion importante qui a fait disparaître les structures les moins profondes, deux ensembles de fosses (7 et 16 St.) espacés de 200 m se dessinent clairement. Leurs morphologies et l’analyse des différents corpus de mobilier permettent d’attribuer le groupe sud à des fosses latérales de maisons, et le grou…
Prediction Models for Age-at-Death Estimates for Calves, Using Unfused Epiphyses and Diaphyses
For cattle (Bos taurus), age estimations using dental criteria before the eruption of the first molar (3–8 months) have large error margins. This hampers archaeozoological investigation into perinatal mortality or the putative slaughtering of very young calves for milk exploitation. Previous ageing methods for subjuveniles have focused on the length of unfused bones, but it is rarely possible to use them because they are restricted to foetuses an…
Refining human palaeodietary reconstruction using amino acid δ15N values of plants, animals and humans
An established method of estimating the trophic level of an organism is through stable isotope analysis of its tissues and those of its diet. This method has been used in archaeology to reconstruct past human diet from the stable nitrogen isotope (δ15N) values of human and herbivore bone collagen. However, this approach, using the 15N-enrichment of human bone collagen δ15N values over associated herbivore bone collagen δ15N values to predict the …
Crop manuring and intensive land management by Europe’s first farmers
The spread of farming from western Asia to Europe had profound long-term social and ecological impacts, but identification of the specific nature of Neolithic land management practices and the dietary contribution of early crops has been problematic. Here, we present previously undescribed stable isotope determinations of charred cereals and pulses from 13 Neolithic sites across Europe (dating ca . 5900–2400 cal B.C.), which show that early farme…

Integrating botanical, faunal and human stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values to reconstruct land use and palaeodiet at LBK Vaihingen an der Enz, Baden-Württemberg
In this paper we reconstruct the palaeodietary setting of LBK Vaihingen an der Enz, south-west Germany (later sixth millennium cal. bc) using C-13 and N-15 values of human and faunal bone collagen and of charred plant remains from cereal crops (e.g. emmer and einkorn wheat) and pulses (lentil and pea). Our examination of this Neolithic dietary food web' incorporates crop N-15 values within a linear-mixing model to examine the estimated proportion…
Community differentiation and kinship among Europe’s first farmers
Community differentiation is a fundamental topic of the social sciences, and its prehistoric origins in Europe are typically assumed to lie among the complex, densely populated societies that developed millennia after their Neolithic predecessors. Here we present the earliest, statistically significant evidence for such differentiation among the first farmers of Neolithic Europe. By using strontium isotopic data from more than 300 early Neolithic…
Inhumations, dépôts d’animaux et perles en cuivre du IV e millénaire sur le site Néolithique récent de Colmar « Aérodrome » (Haut-Rhin)
Excavations carried out by INRAP at the Colmar site in 2008 revealed the presence of 75 circular pits identified as storage pits. No layers of waste suggesting possible nearby domestic activity were found. A total of 19 of the structures contained human remains among which there were 13 primary burial sites and 11 secondary burial sites. The ceramic items collected and a series of radiocarbon dates prove that the site dates back to the Late Neoli…

Une inhumation sous tumulus de l’Âge du Bronze et une occupation de la fin du Néolithique à Gonesse, La Fosse aux Larrons (Val-d’Oise)
A rescue excavation was launched after a tumulus with a stone lining, containing a central inhumation was accidentally exposed by construction work in the Crould valley, north of Paris, in 1976. The various environmental studies (geoarchaeology, malacology, palynology) made it possible to reconstruct the evolution of the landscape during the Subboreal in relation with successive human occupations. Stratigraphy shows that the first occupation is c…

The significance of climate fluctuations for lake level changes and shifts in subsistence economy during the late Neolithic (4300–2400 b.c.) in central Europe
Demographic growth, environmental changes and technical adaptations
In comparison with dryland settlements, peri‐alpine lake‐dwellings of the Neolithic represent an ideal case for the study of population growth and its consequences, owing to the better preservation of organic remains, architectural woods and artefacts. Research has been based on dendrochrono‐logical sequences divided into series of ten to twenty years and on the statistical study of hundreds of thousands of archaeological remains, preserved below…

II. Les parures du Néolithique final à Chalain et Clairvaux
Correlation between nine littoral dwelling sites of the lakes of Chalain and Clairvaux (Jura, France) has allowed to build an almost continuous chronology for the final Neolithic, covering the period from 3200 to 2600 BC. This sequence is checked through dendrochronology : it spans the succession of the Horgen, Clairvaux and Chalain cultures. For this sequence, the study of 484 objects of adornment out of wood, stone, bone, antler and shell was d…
Rubané et groupe d'Entzheim à Pfulgriesheim "Langgarten" et "Buetzel" (Bas-Rhin)
On the site of Pfulgriesheim, one occupation is attributed to the Bandkeramik, another to the Entzheim group. The Bandkeramik settlement is mainly located in the eastern sector. It consists principally of dwelling pits. No buildings have been preserved. The quantity of finds is quite low, but most of the pottery is characteristic of the late Bandkeramik in lower Alsace. The main interest of the site lies in the second occupation, which includes a…

La grotte des Crapauds à Donzère (Drôme)
Within the context of a synthetic study of the sites of the narrow pass of Donzère, a rescue excavation was carried out in 1983 and 1986 in the cave of the Toals. This cave was used as a sheepfold several times, especially during the first half of the 6th century B.C. This evidence is given by the study of the archeological finds which is typical of the Languedoc sites. The place does not seem to have been a refuge, connected with a structured so…

Prediction Models for Age-at-Death Estimates for Calves, Using Unfused Epiphyses and Diaphyses
For cattle (Bos taurus), age estimations using dental criteria before the eruption of the first molar (3–8 months) have large error margins. This hampers archaeozoological investigation into perinatal mortality or the putative slaughtering of very young calves for milk exploitation. Previous ageing methods for subjuveniles have focused on the length of unfused bones, but it is rarely possible to use them because they are restricted to foetuses an…
Un dépôt de renard roux (Vulpes vulpes) du 4e Millénaire av. J.-C. à Entzheim « Les Terres de la Chapelle » (Bas-Rhin)
L’habitat Néolithique récent d’Entzheim « Les Terres de la Chapelle » (cultures de Michelsberg et de Munzingen), fouillé en 2008-2009, a livré les restes en connexion anatomique d’un renard roux reposant sur le fond d’une fosse de plan circulaire. L’animal, installé en position du repos, était accompagné d’un grand fragment de gobelet et de fragments osseux d’un fémur et d’un tibia de jeune bovin. La date radiocarbone réalisée sur os confirme l’a…
