The “princely” barrows of Łęki Małe, Greater Poland are the oldest such monuments within the distribution area of Únětice societies in Central Europe. While in the Circum-Harz group and in Silesia similar rich furnished graves under mounds have appeared as single monuments as early as 1950 BC, Łęki Małe represents a chain of barrows constructed bet...
Amber was one of the key raw materials distributed in Bronze Age Europe. One of its varieties – succinite – wasexchanged over a vast area stretching from its sources on the southern shores of the Baltic Sea to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The chemical identification of Baltic amber significantly expands our knowledge of the dynamics and nat...
Zusammenfassung
Dank einer langen Geschichte der Erforschung der Herkunft, der Verteilungsnetze und der Bewertung der kulturellen Bedeutung von Bernstein, nimmt die Informationsmenge über die Komplexität der Tauschnetzwerke im bronzezeitlichen Europa stetig zu. Die vorliegende Studie stellt die nächste Stufe in der Entwicklung der Forschung zu dies...
Evidence of gold processing in the fortified site of Bruszczewo (Poland) is the first testimony of the production of gold artefacts in a domestic Early Bronze Age site of Central Europe. This paper highlights the potential of macrolithic tool ensembles as a key element for the recognition of metallurgical work processes. Moreover, it presents an op...
On March 5th, 2012, a joint team of archaeologists
from AMU Poznań and CAU
Kiel, embarked on non-invasive field surveys
at the Bronze Age barrow cemetery
in Sadowie-Wysocko Wielkie near Ostrów
Wielkopolski in the Greater Poland region.
The site in question is one of several known
cemeteries of the Tumulus culture located
in the valley of the Barycz...
The article presents the results of research on the absolute chronology of the Nižná Myšľa cemetery. Due to its scale and location in a key region of the Carpathian Basin, it should be considered one of the most important Early Bronze Age sites in Central Europe. Many years of archaeological research have so far failed to provide adequate data on a...
Along with age, gender has been, and continues to be, an important category structuring societies all over the world, affecting access to resources, activities and the division of labour, as well as the social roles of individuals. However, the extent to which gender impacts upon opportunities for decision-making, self-determination and building on...
The ceramic variability of fine ware pottery in Early and Middle Bronze Age Carpathian Basin (2600/2500–1500/1450 BCE) has been used as an argument for the existence of distinct, large-scale communities. The recent technological studies of coarse ware ceramics have shown that different stylistic groups are characterized by uniform technological tra...
Investigations of the settlement of Kakucs-Turján have applied a multi-disciplinary approach to recognize the everyday reality of communities living in Early and Middle Bronze Age Hungary. Field prospection and preliminary excavations allowed characterization of the overall site parameters, while the subsequent excavation seasons provided evidence...
The cemetery in Nižná Myšľa is one of the most important funerary sites in Early Bronze Age Central Europe. Many years of excavations led to the discovery of nearly 800 graves associated with the Otomani-Füzesabony culture. The presented paper is an attempt to reconstruct the spatial development of the cemetery, based on statistical analyses of gra...
Thus far, prehistoric rock art has not been featured in the discourse concerned with the archaeology of Poland due to the absence of finds there belonging to this category. This text presents the very first identified specimens of cup marks in the present-day territory of Poland; all differ significantly in terms of context, which consequently dete...
The homogenous cultural identity that emerged during the Middle Bronze Age (2000-1450 cal BC) in the central territory of the Carpathian Basin is identified uniformly as the Vatya culture. The Vatya people created multi-layered tells, open air horizontal, as well as fortified settlements along the western and eastern bank of the Danube river. These...
Kakucs-Turján is a multi-layered fortified settlement from the Middle Bronze Age located in Central Hungary. The site was subjected to a non-invasive prospection using the magnetometry method. The magnetic anomalies provided insight into the horizontal plan of the site, revealing a tri-partite structure encircled and divided internally by ditches....
Studies of friction ridge impressions on archaeological artefacts are only very rarely published due to the high rate of destruction of such traces or leaving out such information of the analyses of archaeological material. The article presents the results of examinations of friction ridge impressions discovered on daub fragments from the Early Bro...
The dissertation is aimed at a description and characterization of the central European societies of fortified settlements in the first half of the 2nd millenium BC. Because of the high number of such sites and different stage of research in particular regions, it was necessary to select the sources. Four trial areas were chosen: Alpine area, south...
The Kakucs-Turján archaeological site was investigated by a Polish-Hungarian-German research team of archaeologists and various specialists. This volume contains the first, preliminary results of their work, giving the reader an insight into the complex history of the Bronze Age settlement and its economic activities as reflected in the multi-layer...
Zarys treści. Upowszechnienie się w archeologii metod nieinwazyjnych umożliwiło w znacznie większej skali badania obszarów leśnych. W badaniach cmentarzysk kurhanowych położonych na Wale Krotoszyńskim (Las Krotoszyn), w celu rozpoznania morfometrycznego cmentarzyska kurhanowego i identyfikacji kopców, które weryfikowano dodatkowo w tere-nie, zastos...
A Kiskunsági homokhát, a Pesti hordalékkúp-síkság, illetve a Pilis—Alpári homokhát találkozásánál az ócsai Turjánvidék szomszédságában található Kakucs—Turján mögött lelőhely a Kárpát-medence középső bronzkorában (ca. 2000/1900–1500/1450 cal BC) a Vatya-kultúra népességének egyik jellegzetes települése volt.
A területen több talajtani módszer együt...
A középső bronzkori (ca. 2000/1900—1500/1450 cal BC) Vatya-kultúra erődített, több rétegű tell-településekből, változó méretű és jellegű nyíltszíni telepekből álló településhálózatainak talajtani és földtani képződményei egyaránt értékes elemei kulturális és természeti örökségünknek. Az ún. „földvár“ talajtani és környezettörténeti jelentősége abba...
Based on the similar ceramic style and typography, the homogenous cultural identity that emerged during the Middle Bronze Age (app. 2000/1900-1500/1450 cal BC) in the central territory of the Carpathian Basin is called Vatya culture. The settlement network of the Vatya culture implies fortified, multi-layered tells and open air horizontal settlemen...
A Kárpát-medence központi területén a középső bronzkorban (ca. 2000/1900–1500/1450 cal BC) virágzó nagy kulturális egységet — az azonos kerámiastílus alapján — Vatya-kultúrának nevezzük. A kultúra ún. erődített, több rétegű tell-településekből, változó méretű és jellegű nyíltszíni telepekből álló településhálózatot hozott létre, mely talajtani és f...
The text discusses the most important research programs devoted to the Bronze Age defensive settlement, initiated by archaeologists from the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań.
Zusammenfassung: In den letzten Jahrzehnten nahm die Siedlung von Spišský Štvrtok eine wichtige Rolle in der Debatte über jene Fernbeziehungen ein, die die Welt der mykenischen Kultur mit Mitteleuropa verbanden. Obwohl die Ergebnisse der Ausgrabungen auf dem Gelände noch immer nicht in ihrer Gesamtheit veröffentlicht sind, postulierte der Ausgräber...
The present study hopes to contribute to Middle Bronze Age studies in two specific areas: first, by publishing a new series of radiocarbon dates for a period from which there are few absolute dates, and second, by describing a less known area in the Vatya culture distribution based on the investigations at Kakucs. The Kakucs area was increasingly i...
Without a doubt, Nižná Myšla' is one of the more significant sites of the European Bronze Age. The excavations, which have been carried out in the location since the 1970s, revealed hundreds of graves associated with one of the defensive settlements of the Otomani-Füzesabony culture. This paper presents a discussion relying on the recent 14C-based...
Research on the network of Bronze Age settlements and their burial grounds has always been a priority of archaeological fieldwork in Central Europe. Researchers of the past centuries tended to focus on the large central settlements such as tells and hillforts. The past decade has seen a shift in research perspectives: while the study of central set...
Tens of barrows of the Tumulus culture create a clearly visible element of the cultural landscape of south-western part of the Polish Lowlands. Paradoxically, the abundance of this category of archaeological sources does not broaden our knowledge about the societies that left them behind. The majority of cemeteries were discovered, mapped and excav...
