Modern humans have populated Europe for more than 45,000 years
The introduction of pottery vessels to Europe has long been seen as closely linked with the spread agriculture and pastoralism from Near East. adoption technology by hunter-gatherers in Northern Eastern does not fit this paradigm, its role within these communities is so far unresolved. To investigate motivations for hunter-gatherer use, here, we present systematic analysis contents 528 early Baltic Sea region, mostly dating late 6th-5th millennium cal BC, using molecular isotopic...
Abstract Human history has been shaped by global dispersals of technologies, although understanding what enabled these processes is limited. Here, we explore the behavioural mechanisms that led to emergence pottery among hunter-gatherer communities in Europe during mid-Holocene. Through radiocarbon dating, propose this dispersal occurred at a far faster rate than previously thought. Chemical characterization organic residues shows European had function structured around regional culinary...
To investigate changes in culinary practices associated with the arrival of farming, we analysed organic residues over 1,000 pottery vessels from hunter-gatherer-fisher and early agricultural sites across Northern Europe Lower Rhine Basin to Northeastern Baltic. Here, was widely used by hunter-gatherer-fishers prior introduction domesticated animals plants. Overall, there surprising continuity way that farmers pottery. Both aquatic products wild plants remained prevalent, a pattern repeated...
The authors report the discovery of a cemetery richly furnished graves in western desert south Egypt. Artefacts, burial rites and radiocarbon dates relate to pastoralists practising transhumance later Neolithic period. first such be investigated, its cultural affiliations offer pre-echo what would become Egyptian civilisation.
The Northern European Mesolithic is well known for the manufacture of composite tools and weapons specialised purposes. A implement recovered from Early Holocene site Krzyż Wielkopolski 7 in Poland, dated to Preboreal/Boreal transition, raises questions about expediency versus efficiency fabrication these artefacts. Here, authors characterise its materials production: a bone splinter mounted on shaft pine wood, secured with bast ligatures coated birch bark tar. While implement's individual...
The appearance of the first farming groups on North European Plain was turning point for Mesolithic foragers who had inhabited that region almost 7000 years. Interrelations between these two very different communities are fascinating archaeologists interested in northern Stone Age. Research at Dąbki Poland provides elements a discussion Neolithic transformation along southern Baltic coast. Pottery from regions by Danubian societies has been found hunting-gathering context (), fact sheds...
As Mesolithic people living on the Baltic coast began to adopt farming in later fifth millennium BC, imports of a new type and quality started reach them from south — highly decorated pots then copper axes Hungary-Serbia area. With excavations at site Dąbki 9 northern Poland, authors are able show how high thin-walled shiny black vessels travelling over 1000km early fourth bringing prestige cups jugs shore.
Artificial illumination is a fundamental human need. Burning wood and other materials usually in hearths fireplaces extended daylight hours, whilst the use of flammable substances torches offered light on move. It increasingly understood that pottery played role production. In this study, we focus ceramic oval bowls, made used primarily by hunter-gatherer-fishers circum-Baltic over c. 2000 year period beginning mid-6th millennium cal bc . Oval bowls commonly occur alongside larger (cooking)...
Broad cultural similarities are apparent between Neolithic sites across the Middle Nile Valley, yet local variation may also be witnessed. The dearth of well-preserved skeletal assemblages in this region means that biological connections populations, and thus potential modes for transmission material culture, not well understood. Here, authors compare dental morphological traits five cemeteries ( c . 5600–3800 BC) 14 time-successive to explore relatedness along Valley. Their findings...
Der Beitrag stellt drei mesolithische Geweihlochstäbe der Fundstellen Twedt-Buschau, Verchen (beide Norddeutschland) und Krzyż (Polen) vor, die nach Meinung Autoren als zoomorphe Darstellungen interpretiert werden können. Die Basis Abwurfstangen wurde jeweils teilweise abgearbeitet Sprosse spitzer Stumpf zugerichtet. so entstandene Form kann stilisierter Kopf eines Elches angesprochen werden. ähnliche Zurichtung Objekte nahezu übereinstimmende absolute Datierung Geweihstäbe von Twedt-Buschau...
Post-Pleistocene climatic improvement in the Northern Hemisphere after ca. 9550 BC allowed human populations to recolonize large parts of North Africa what is today Sahara Desert. In Egyptian Western Desert, beginnings occupation date as early 9300 BC. Occupation continued until middle third millennium when final desertification area no longer afforded occupation. The settlement Neolithic cattle and sheep/goat herders developed along with rhythm alternating wet dry oscillations. One areas...
Fish remains have been discovered at seven Mesolithic sites located mainly in central and northern Poland, an area that is known as the Lakeland of Polish Lowland. Based on results identification fish uncovered during excavations Site 7 Krzyż Wielkopolski (Western Poland), conclusions were made locality technique fishery. The taxa represented show fishing showed economy period was focused nearby freshwater rivers lakes. At time, people fished primarily for Cyprinids, pike perch. According to...
Birch bark tar played an important role as adhesive in the European Middle Palaeolithic and Mesolithic with key practical functions. For northern Europe, is suggested to have a variety of functions, including decorative, on various artefacts such amber beads, antler bone objects. However, no chemical characterisation has been conducted confirm organic composition decorations. To address this gap, we residue analysis archaeological samples taken from three excavated at Early site Krzyż...
