USING RADIOCARBON AGES ON ORGANICS AFFECTED BY FRESHWATER-A GEOLOGIC AND ARCHAEOLOGIC UPDATE ON THE FRESHWATER RESERVOIR AGES AND FRESHWATER DIET EFFECT IN MANITOBA, CANADA

Michelle S. Gauthier

Summary: This study examines freshwater reservoir ages and the potential effect of a freshwater diet in Manitoba, Canada. The understanding of freshwater reservoir effects is crucial for geologists reconstructing postglacial histories of areas as well as for archaeologists relying on C-14 dating to develop cultural histories.

A pedogenically-informed chronostratigraphic model elucidates the geochronology at the type site of the Bohunician technocomplex

Jan Petrik et al.

Summary: The Bohunician, a Moravian variant of the Initial Upper Palaeolithic lithic technocomplex, is believed to have emerged during the transition from the Middle to the Upper Palaeolithic in the contact zone between anatomically modern humans and Neanderthals. By reevaluating published radiometric and luminescence data from the Brno-Bohunice site, this study proposes a new perspective on the chronological position and taphonomy of the Bohunician finds. The Bayesian model suggests that the onset of the Bohunician technocomplex occurred around 50,000 years ago and mainly existed during the interstadials GI 13 and GI 12. The model also indicates a possible persistence of Bohunician technology until about 42,000 years ago.

The transmission of pottery technology among prehistoric European hunter-gatherers

Ekaterina Dolbunova et al.

Summary: This study explores the behavioral mechanisms behind the emergence of pottery among hunter-gatherer communities in Europe during the mid-Holocene. The researchers propose that the dispersal of pottery occurred at a faster rate than previously thought, and the pottery had a functional and regional connection to culinary practices. The analysis also suggests that pottery knowledge spread through cultural transmission, indicating the existence of kinship-driven communication networks before major innovations like agriculture or writing.

New data and perspectives on the early stages of the Neolithic in the Middle Kura River Valley (South Caucasus). The 2017-2019 excavations at Kicik Tepe, Western Azerbaijan

Giulio Palumbi et al.

Summary: The excavations at Kicik Tepe in South Caucasus shed light on the complex factors and dynamics of the Neolithisation process, revealing an evolutionary architectural trajectory and subsistence strategies adapted to the local environment. The evidence suggests a gradual and resistance-driven change between old and new socio-economic and cultural models in the region.

The use of early pottery by hunter-gatherers of the Eastern European forest-steppe

Blandine Courel et al.

Summary: The Eastern European steppe and forest-steppe is crucial for understanding the emergence of pottery in Europe. Research indicates that hunter-gatherer pottery production was not common in this region before the 6th millennium BC, and pottery use was under strong cultural control, with distinct sub-regional culinary traditions.

Neolithic farmers or Neolithic foragers? Organic residue analysis of early pottery from Rakushechny Yar on the Lower Don (Russia)

Manon Bondetti et al.

Summary: The study of pottery at the Rakushechny Yar site in Eastern Europe revealed that early pottery was primarily used to process riverine resources with many vessels identified as processing migratory fish such as sturgeon. While no evidence of dairy products or domesticated animals were found in the vessels, the intensive processing of migratory fish led to large-scale pottery production and storable surpluses, resulting in socio-economic outcomes similar to early agricultural societies.
