The conventional 'Neolithic package' comprised animals and plants originally domesticated in the Near East. As farming spread on a generally northwest trajectory across Europe, early pastoralists would have been faced with challenge of making viable regions which organisms were poorly adapted to providing optimal yields or even surviving. Hence, it has long debated whether Neolithic economies ever established at modern limits agriculture. Here, we examine food residues pottery, testing...

Twenty-three samples of charred food remains, charcoal, burned animals, and human bones from 14 Lithuanian prehistoric sites were dated by radiocarbon as part a dating project oriented towards renewing the ceramics chronology. The new dates modified ceramic styles hundreds to thousand years. Three Textile Ware sherds 4230–2920 cal BC—the oldest known pottery in East Baltic. organic-tempered pointed-bottomed Narva Combed-like Wares 3970–3370 BC, while Bay Coast ( Haffküstenkultur, Rzucewo ),...

The iron dating project Aikarauta has been launched in Finland. This paper presents the results of preliminary investigations. ability for radiocarbon measurement by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) Finland demonstrated using coal-produced as reference material. An elemental analyzer harnessed to measure carbon content small samples. In addition, we have hypothesized that a fingerprint limestone usage smelting process is high Ca and slag. examined performing an experiment with flux,...

Abstract The Early Metal Period (1800 cal BC–AD 300) of the Finnish inland regions is characterized by a scarcity archaeological remains. Its latest stages, in particular, have proved to be difficult interpret. This paper discusses continuity settlement as indicated survey and pollen-analytical data. study area situated Repovesi National Park southeastern Finland. pollen analysis was constructed from sediment sequence taken Lake Katajajärvi. data supports earlier hypotheses small number...

The Bronze Age site of ķivutkalns with its massive amount archaeological artifacts and human remains is considered the largest bronze-working center in Latvia. a unique combination cemetery hillfort believed to be built on top each other. This work presents new radiocarbon dates animal bone collagen that somewhat challenge this interpretation. Based analyses using Bayesian modeling framework, present data suggest overlapping calendar year distributions for contexts within 1st millennium BC....
