Abstract Archaeogenetic studies have described two main genetic turnover events in prehistoric western Eurasia: one associated with the spread of farming and a sedentary lifestyle starting around 7000–6000 bc (refs. 1–3 ) second expansion pastoralist groups from Eurasian steppes 3300 4,5 ). The period between these saw new economies emerging on basis key innovations, including metallurgy, wheel wagon horse domestication 6–9 . However, what happened demise Copper Age settlements 4250...
In recent years archaeological finds and scientific analyses have provided increasing evidence for a very early beginning of copper production in the rich mining area Tyrolean Alps. The earliest findings derive from an excavation multi‐phase settlement on Mariahilfbergl Brixlegg, which revealed that small amount fahlores, probably local provenance, was at least heated if not even smelted there Late Neolithic Münchshöfen culture (the second half fifth millennium bc ). However, most this...
In extension of the recently established ‘Rapid Climate Change (RCC) Neolithisation Model’ (Clare 2013), in present paper we demonstrate existence a remarkable coincidence between exact (decadel-scale) entry and departure dates Neolithic into/from Aegean (~6600/6050 calBC) with begin/end RCC-conditions.
Abstract Since 2018, excavation work at the well-known site of Movila lui Deciov has been resumed by an international team from University Tübingen together with National Museum Banat in Timişoara. The was discovered beginning 20 th century Kisléghi Nagy Gyula, who also carried out first excavations. Further excavations were undertaken between 2001 and 2004 Timișoara a Calgary, Canada. Early Neolithic settlement is delimited circular ditch, which made visible geophysical measurements...
Investigations of a balk in the centre prehistoric settlement Džuljunica-Smărdeš comprised sequence archaeological deposits from very onset Neolithisation South-eastern Europe throughout end Early Neolithic. The arrival Neolithic lifeways region coincides with period for which palaeoclimate proxies attest to considerable climate fluctuation. In connection these investigations, zoological finds were examined, provide insight into economy this key entire Balkan region.
In the following paper, we present main results of our now completed studies Varna I cemetery, based on excavations undertaken by Ivan Ivanov in years 1972–1991. The richness assemblages is singular Old World prehistory. To tackle question its internal, chronological development, applied correspondence analysis (CA) to a newly created database that includes inventories all presently known graves, symbolic burials and find deposits. rank order seriated was used establish CA-based 14C-age...
ABSTRACT During the Early Holocene, climate was major factor causing fires, but whether during Mesolithic (~11.5–7.4 cal ka BP) people co‐shaped their environment by means of fire remains debate. Few studies have tackled this question linking high‐resolution multi‐proxy palaeoecological from near occupation sites. An Holocene sediment record Ammer Valley palaeo‐wetland in south‐west Germany studied using pollen, micro‐ and macrocharcoal, plant macroremains. Archaeological evidence Late sites...
This article publishes a new series of radiocarbon dates from Tell Yunatsite, Southern Bulgaria. Context-based excavations undertaken over large surface area, as well small test trench, provided long stratigraphic sequence (11 ‘building levels’) covering part the Chalcolithic period in Thrace (5th millennium BCE). Bayesian statistics and Gaussian Monte Carlo Wiggle Matching were employed to achieve fine chronology for multilayered tell. Implications problems on application calibration curve...
: Bei einer kleinflächigen Sondagegrabung auf dem mehrperiodigen Fundplatz Foeni-Gaz im rumänischen Banat konnte Jahre 2009 ein Siedlungsbefund der Spätbadener-Kultur partiell freigelegt werden, welcher von einem Brunnenschacht Frühbronzezeit geschnitten wird. Begleitende geomagnetische Kartierungen und Flächensurvey konnten eine Besiedlung des Platzes auch Frühneolithikum (Starčevo-Criş), Spätbronzezeit (Cruceni-Belegiş), jüngeren Eisenzeit Mittelalter aufzeigen. Die Auswertung 14C-Daten...
Abstract A women’s burial of the Early Bronze Age that was uncovered near Ammerbuch-Reusten, Tübingen district in autumn 2020 shows clear relations to rites Final Neolithic central Europe. The only grave good rear burial. small spiral ring made gold wire at left side hip level, which can be considered earliest securely dated precious metal find southwestern Germany. fits into a series early rings wire, are among oldest finds Its composition with c. 20 % silver and less than 2 copper as well...
