Am 28. und 29. Oktober 2016 trafen sich auf dem Tübinger Schloss Vertreterinnen und Vertreter der Ur- und Frühgeschichtlichen Archäologie, Archäobotanik, Klassischen Archäologie, Physischen Geographie/Bodenkunde, Humangeographie, Ethnologie und Geschichtswissenschaft, um in einen interdisziplinären Dialog über „Gunst/Ungunst – Nutzung und Wahrnehmu...
Im Jahr 2016 wurde bei Rettungsgrabungen im Bereich eines mittelbronzezeitlichen Siedlungsareals bei Engen-Anselfingen (Lkr. Konstanz/D) ein knapp 2 kg schweres Gusskuchenfragment geborgen. Nachdem in der Frühbronzezeit in Mitteleuropa noch elaboriertere, ring- und spangenförmige Kupferbarren zirkulierten, wurde ab der Mittelbronzezeit vermehrt mit...
This paper aims to reconstruct Middle Bronze Age (MBA; 1600–1250 BCE) land use practices in the northwestern Alpine foreland (SW Germany, Hegau). We used a multi-proxy approach including the analysis of biogeochemical proxies from colluvial deposits and buried topsoils in the surroundings of the well-documented settlement site of Anselfingen and of...
The ongoing evaluation of one of the most extensively investigated settlements of the Middle Bronze Age in Baden-Württemberg provides insights into the settlement system of this period. It is only since the last two or three decades that settlements from the middle
of the second millennium BCE have been found more frequently in Baden-Württemberg a...
Palaeoecology in south-estern Black Forest
We review and contrast three frameworks for analyzing human-land interactions in the Holocene: the traditional concept of favored and disfavored landscapes, the new concept of ResourceCultures from researchers at University of Tübingen, and complex adaptive systems, which is a well-established contemporary approach in interdisciplinary research. Fo...
Bronze Age Palaeoecology of the Hegau
This paper aims to reconstruct Middle Bronze Age (MBA) land use practices in the north-western Alpine foreland (SW Germany, Hegau). We used a multi-proxy approach including the biogeochemical proxies from colluvial deposits in the surrounding of the well-documented settlement site of Anselfingen and offsite pollen data from two peat bogs. This appr...
Within the scope of an interdisciplinary project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG – Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft), lake sediments from the centers of the large Black Forest lakes (Titisee, Schluchsee, Feldsee and Bergsee) were analysed archaeobotanically and geochemically for the first time. Complementary archaeological (surveys, ex...
Colluvial deposits are considered as sedimentary archives for the reconstruction of the sedimentation and climate history, past pedogenesis and phases of land use. However, the human contribution to the formation of colluvial deposits is mainly based on assumptions derived from the local chronostratigraphy and archaeology. For this reason, there is...
The present study combines archaeological data with
archaeopedological data from colluvial deposits to infer Neolithic
settlement dynamics between the Baar region, the Black Forest and the Swabian Jura.
A review of the state of archaeological research and an analysis of the
processes leading to the discovery of the Neolithic sites and thereby the
f...
Colluvial deposits, as the correlate sediments of human-induced soil erosion, depict an excellent archive of land use and landscape history as indicators of human–environment interactions. This study establishes a chronostratigraphy of colluvial deposits and reconstructs past land use dynamics in the Swabian Jura, the Baar and the Black Forest in S...
The Black Forest is considered to be a rather unfavorable area, having a short vegetation period, low mean annual temperatures, high precipitation, and a pronounced relief. These conditions do not favor agricultural land use and thus it is widely accepted that people only began using the land intensively during the Middle Ages. In this integrated s...
Today’s global challenges (e.g., food security) are not unprecedented in human history. Starting with the Neolithic transition, the agricultural sector and society underwent several cultural and technological changes and endured natural challenges. These challenges and changes are analyzed by using the adaptive cycle metaphor and the social-ecologi...
Soils are the basis of our food production, supplying plants with nutrients and water. Farming leaves traces in the soil because cultivation can cause soil erosion. One result is the formation of colluvial deposits, which can be used as geoarchives of past human impacts on their terrestrial environment. The present study combines pedological and ar...
Römisch-Germanischen Zentralmuseum Mainz in Verbindung mit dem Präsidium der deutschen Verbände für Archäologie Sonderdruck aus Archäologisches Korrespondenzblatt Jahrgang 42 · 2012 · Heft 1 Diese pdf-Datei ist nur zum persönlichen Verteilen bestimmt. Sie darf bis März 2014 nicht auf einer Homepage im Internet eingestellt werden. This PDF is for di...
Pedological research and pollen analysis can give important information for the development of low mountain ranges. In the Middle Black Forest colluvia could be found at the foot of a so far undated hillfort. The associated 14C datings prove a land use with deforestation and erosion probably beginning in the 9 th/10 th century. This clearly demonst...
Die Beiträge dieser wissenschaftlichen Aufsatzsammlung orientieren sich an den weit gespannten Forschungsinteressen des Archäologen Prof. Dr. Manfred K.H. Eggert, der durch seine grundlegenden Studien zu Theorie und Methode der Ur- und Frühgeschichtlichen Archäologie, insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit der Interpretation des "frühkeltischen Fürstenph...
