Baales 2022 – Die letzten Rentierjäger: Stielspitze der Ahrensburger Kultur weit im Süden – AiD (original) (raw)
Quartär, 2017
During the Younger Dryas (GS-1) and the beginning of the Early Preboreal (PB) the region of the middle Oder River was settled by hunter-gatherer societies defined as the Ahrensburgian and the Swiderian, which belong to the Tanged Point Technocomplex. As early as the 1930s, several archaeologists recognised similarities between the lithic inventories of these groups in terms of both technology and typology. Since that time numerous scientists have attempted to explain this phenomenon. The major visible difference between the inventories consists of type de fossile – tanged points without a ventrally retouched tang in the west of the Oder River (the Ahrensburgian) and points with a ventrally retouched tang (and sometimes a willow-leaf shape) in the east of the Oder River (Swiderian/Masovian). At many sites, the different types occur together. This paper presents the results of technological and typological studies on lithic assemblages, mainly from Brandenburg (Germany) and Greater Poland Province (Poland) , as well as two ‘culturally’ unmixed sites as examples for typical Ahrensburg (Burow) and Swiderian (Rzuchów) inventories. The aim of examining of the two culturally labelled collections (the Ahrensburgian and the Swiderian) is to define attributes which distinguish these inventories from each other or to determine the similarities.

One of the most popular recent research themes in the early historical archaeology of southern Scandinavia and northern central Europe is the character and development of trade and communication, and the way these aspects are reflected in settlements and material culture. Until recently, little was known about the northwest German coastal area with regard to ‘trading centres’. This undetailed picture is starting to change. As a result of metal detecting, field surveys and excavations, knowledge on the habitation of this region in the 1st millennium A. D. and its relations to other regions is rapidly increasing. One of the most notable sites is Elsfleth-Hogenkamp (Lower Saxony). This site is the subject of the monograph published by Kai Mückenberger, which is reviewed here.

Scientific examination of Deutschlandsberg castle in recent decades has led to a comprehensive picture of its development and architectural history. The castle hill itself was already in use in the Neolithic period as pottery finds show. From the 12th century onwards, perhaps in course of the castle building expansion of Archbishop Konrad I. of Salzburg, the castle hill was crowned by an archaeologically tangible castle built of stone around a polygonal tower. At the turn of the 14th century, a period of economic prosperity for the Archbishopric of Salzburg, the castle was greatly expanded through the construction of a residential tower, a great hall (Palas) and a further multistorey building (the so-called Gadenbau). In course of the 15th century economic prosperity or the desire for representation or perhaps other factors, prompted a late medieval (Gothic) remodelling, in which all known components (polygonal tower, great hall, residential tower and Gadenbau) were raised by one storey. To improve the defences an outer wall was built in the open area to the east of the great hall. Research indicates that three fortified complexes existed on the castle hill in the 15th century – the inner castle, a round tower in front of the inner castle and a probable fortified tower known as “Tanzboden” on the easternmost elevation of the hill. Towards the end of the 16th century the Styrian possessions of the Archbishopric of Salzburg got into economic and political difficulties, prompting the sale of the Landsberg estate and all the accompanying property to Hans Jakob of Kuenburg, a long-time stalwart of the Archbishopric. The entire outer bailey was built by him and some changes were made to the inner castle, including the construction of a new staircase wing and the modernisation of the mighty cistern. In 1630 the Landsberg estate was reincorporated into the archbishopric, remaining there until secularization in 1805.
Late Glacial processes of human colonisation, adaptation and development represent a large field of study with a wide range of approaches. With respect to the archaeological succession from the classic Hamburgian to the Havelte Group, studies on the latter are still rare in Northern Germany. This paper aims to contribute to the chronological and archaeological characterization of the Havelte Group by presenting some new results from the Ahrenshöft LA 58 D site. Located in a microregion rich in Late Glacial occupations, especially of the Hamburgian, the site was the subject of excavation in 1995. Questions regarding the homogeneity and chronological attribution of the site had been raised, leading to further fieldwork in 2008. This included palynological, micro-tephra and soil micromorphology analyses, which were partly supplemented by samples collected in 2009. The preliminary results presented here confirm the absence of indications of archaeological heterogeneity and, despite taphonomic difficulties, seem to confirm a recent age for the occupation, after the early Late Glacial Interstadial and within the Havelte Group.

Excavations at the late Hallstatt/early La Tène (6the4th century BC) "princely seat" of the Glauberg (Hesse, Germany) revealed exceptionally furnished graves in monumental mounds, simple inhumations in associated ditches and non-normative burials of up to eight individuals in conical storage pits. The study presented here addresses bioarchaeological characteristics of these burials and their implications for social differentiation and the sphere of influence of the "princely seat". It includes osteological, aDNA, and multi-isotope analyses of 27 human individuals and faunal remains. One of the outstandingly rich graves (tumulus 1/grave 1) contained the skeleton of a young man (the "prince") who consumed a superior diet based on C 3 plants that also included considerable amounts of animal protein. The oxygen isotope composition of his enamel is characteristic for the study area, while the strontium isotope data reflect connections beyond the near environs of the "princely seat" and a conceivable non-local origin. The individuals in the conical pits had numerous joint lesions, indicating a strenuous lifestyle. They lack evidence for maternal relationships and differ from the "prince" and other Iron Age burials due to substantial millet consumption and rather low shares of animal protein. Their heterogeneous strontium isotope ratios suggest connections to the western Wetterau area, where settlements may have formed the economic hinterland of the Glauberg hillfort. The results reflect both the role of the "princely seat" in the wider regional context and Early Iron Age social complexity.
