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 appearance of the Linear Pottery Culture (LBK) on Poland territory initiated process neolithization in area. However, as we will see this article, colonization took place later than previously thought. stage, which is called early phase, actually corresponds only to Fomborn/Ačkovy stage LBK, and earliest dating currently indicates around 5350 BC. Due small number sites from phase excavated a large scale Poland, culture's development poorly known. Gwoździec Project focused LBK settlement...

Abstract The presence of the earliest assemblages and dating origins LBK in areas north Carpathians are a subject ongoing discussion. This is because, with increasing number radiocarbon dates, early relative stylistically “old” vessels raises justified doubts. Studies on pottery combined results indicate that materials Phase I from Poland mixed terms style: same compact found ceramics both Bíňa-Bicske-Gniechowice Milanovce-Flomborn-Ačkovy-Zofipole characteristics. oldest ranges 5330–5320 BC,...

Zusammenfassung In der zweiten Hälfte des 6. Jahrtausends v. Chr. wanderten die ersten mit Bandkeramik verbundenen Bauern aus und ihre Kultur verbreitete sich in Gebiete nördlich Karpaten. Bisher hatte man angenommen, dass diese frühneolithische Ausbreitung einen Zeitraum um ca. 5500–5400 fällt, was vor allem auf vergleichende Studien stilistischen Merkmale Keramik stützte. Seit einiger Zeit gibt es jedoch bei zahlreichen Forschern Zweifel, ob Art Dekoration Gefäße absoluten Daten...

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...

The current recognition of plant materials obtained from archaeological sites the Linear Pottery Culture in Upper Vistula basin made it possible to indicate species that were cultivated and utilised by Early Neolithic human communities. data presented this paper, referring occurrence macroscopic remains various types, was collected 23 (97 identifi ed taxa). analyses covered charred plants, their imprints daub pottery, fragments preserved within mass clay used for production ceramic vessels....

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.

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)...

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...
