Reflections about establishment and architecture of dolmens with corridor and anteroom of the limestone plateau of Hortus (Herault, France)

Among the most imposing dolmens of Hérault’s megalithism, those of Lamalou, Capucin and Feuilles are situated on Hortus limestone plateau, in the Languedoc’s scrubland area. Their massive architecture distances itself by the systematic presence of an anteroom, bounded by pillars of entrance, whose function is difficult to define. However, the anteroom contributes unmistakably to the monumentalisation of these dolmens in the same way as important tumulus which encloses them. The studied graves form a homogeneous group both by their geographical situation within a specific territory and by their architecture. The succession and the demarcation of spaces are appreciably identical even if materials are differently used. A more global approach of dolmens with anteroom of Languedoc shows differences of management of the internal space with regard to their geocultural context.

Głównym zagadnieniem pracy jest problem zróżnicowania i rozwoju kurhanowego typu grobu w okresie BA–BC, jaki obserwowany jest na przykładzie kultur stosujących tę formę konstrukcyjną w międzyrzeczu Odry i Wisły. W oparciu o analizę zebranych materiałów wydzielone zostały obiekty kulturowo identyfikowane z kulturami unietycką, trzciniecką i kleszczewsko-masłowską na w/w obszarze oraz stanowiska lub informacje o obiektach z możliwością posiadania przez grób konstrukcji w typie kurhanu. W związku z powyższym dla obiektów identyfikowanych kulturowo podjęto próbę charakterystyki kurhanowego typu grobu pod względem posiadanych przez nie cech konstrukcyjnych i możliwych sposobów wznoszenia tego typu budowli, ich zależności względem niektórych cech obrządku pogrzebowego jak też osadnictwa w/w okresu i wreszcie znaczenia ideologicznego konstrukcji kurhanowej, czy wreszcie pod względem wzajemnych relacji chronologicznych stanowisk kurhanowych.

The initial phase of the Understanding Exmoor’s Barrows Project made direct contact with or explored the online catalogues of a total of 23 museums and archives potentially holding archaeological material relevant to improving understanding of Bronze Age barrows and associated funerary traditions on Exmoor and in the wider area around Exmoor. These enquiries identified a number of relevant collections and produced detailed inventories of the material available.
The information obtained includes a number of unusual and intriguing elements and will make a significant addition to the data currently held by the Exmoor Historic Environment Record and other relevant repositories.
Additionally, the Project has demonstrated that the material identified has potential for further analysis through, for example, examination by pottery, lithics, bone and charcoal experts, and for radiocarbon dating. The prospective results from these analyses and determinations are likely to substantially advance current understanding of Bronze Age burial traditions across Exmoor and its wider region and to provide an enhanced foundation for future research.

Between 1998 and 2000 three seasons of archaeological recording were carried out by Cornwall Archaeological Unit within Imerys’ Stannon China Clay Works. The first two seasons of fieldwork focused on excavation of an Early Bronze Age cairn group and Middle Bronze Age and Middle Iron Age settlement activity. The third season was evaluative, designed to confirm the existence of a number of cairns and a field system and to sample palaeoenvironmental sites on the Northern Downs.
The cairn group comprised three ring cairns and two ‘tailed’ cairns. One ring cairn, Site 9 was reused as a ceremonial monument in the Middle Bronze Age and again in the Iron Age as a house site. An artefactual assemblage including Bronze and Iron Age pottery and stonework was recovered. Three beads, one of faience, one of amber and another of glass, were also found.
Twelve radiocarbon determinations spanning the Early to Middle Bronze Age and two Iron Age determinations were obtained from three of the excavated cairns. Two pollen columns on the Northern Downs were also dated, one of which provided environmental information from the Mesolithic to the early medieval period. The dating revealed that significant impact on the vegetation of the Down commenced during the Neolithic, with more extensive clearance during the Bronze Age. Widespread open grassland was in evidence by the Middle Bronze Age.
The results from analyses of charred environmental material produced only limited evidence for cereal cultivation and the palynological evidence suggests that the economy in the Middle Bronze Age was based on pastoralism. It is suggested that the cairns formed a coherent group of monuments which were part of a wider landscape cosmology, which involved the grouping of particular monument types and the referencing of prominent rocks and tors.

"In August 2007, an inhumation burial was reported within a cist at the seaward end of Constantine Island, St Merryn. The National Trust commissioned the Historic Environment Service to undertake an archaeological excavation of the site (SW 85719 75122). The cist, which was found to hold a crouched adult male, was set within a cairn over an earlier small mound that was largely comprised of sand, stone and midden material. The mound in turn was found to overlay an earlier land surface. The site was not completely excavated but a section was cut across it so that its construction sequence and relationship with the cist could be better understood.

A radiocarbon date on bone from the skeleton fell between 1380 and 1110 cal BC, providing a Middle Bronze date, a period from which very few human remains are known from Cornwall and no other barrow-associated burials are currently recorded.

Radiocarbon dates for the Early Bronze Age of Northern England are presented, these provide an independent chronology for the Collared Urns of the region together with associated Accessory Vessels and grave goods. The results indicate that Collared Urns were in use in Northern England between 2000/1950 BC and 1600/1550 BC. Comparison of the dates obtained for Northern England show that they are broadly correspondent with those obtained for Ireland, Scotland and Wales in previous studies. This rebuts the idea that Collared Urns radiated from southern England, reaching northern and western Britain after a passage of time, instead the pattern is one of parallel development in all the regions considered here.

In a 1947 letter to Sir Stanley Unwin, J.R.R. Tolkien wrote that "every romance that takes things seriously must have a warp of fear and horror". 1 The "romance" of which he writes is, of course, The Lord of the Rings, and the world he created within it certainly abounds in terrifying creatures. There are ghosts and spirits, werewolves and giant spiders, dragons and Balrogs. Yet one of the most frightening moments occurs fairly early in the story, in the confrontation between Frodo and the barrow-wight. This scene plays upon a number of primal fears, including the fear of being buried alive, the fear of trespassing upon the places of the dead, and, most of all, the lingering apprehension that some part of our consciousness will remain in the tomb. Although the wight gets very little stage time, it is one of the most rich and complex beings in the entire book, being rooted in the Icelandic sagas and legends, but tempered with Anglo-Saxon traditions and a little medieval ghostlore. Like a number of its medieval ancestors, the barrow-wight is ghostlike but not a ghost, living but not alive, haunting but also haunted. Far from being a simple type, the barrow-wight is a complex creature drawn from a blend of folklore, literature, and religious belief; and it embodies both medieval and modern anxiety about the dead and the places they inhabit. Barrows have long been seen as haunted places. This association makes, after all, a certain kind of sense: since the physical remains of the dead linger in the place of burial, so must the spiritual. As Theo Brown observes, "when educated men toyed with the notion that the earth in a burial ground was saturated with the virtue of dead corpses, it is hardly surprising that 1 Tolkien, J.R.R.

This volume has been prepared quickly, smoothly and cheerfully. This is, perhaps, because it is dedicated to the 70th birthday anniversary of a person who is always cheerful himself, an archaeologist, zealous and lucky researcher, a radiant personality and a very kind man, as well as a wonderful colleague and true friend of all good people – Nicolai Telnov.
His journey in science has been long and fruitful: from Belgorod to Bucovina, from the Crimea to the Carpathians; expeditions and field surveys, libraries and museums; with shovel and satchel; with fantastic patience and sensational results, with vast experience and rich knowledge ready to share with his colleagues and disciples. Telnov’s realm is Tripolye and Scythians, Dacians and Slavs, medieval nomads and the old letters of the sad Lay of Igor’s Warfare. His inquisitive mind knows no limits, and we will be more than glad if this volume can serve him and other readers as a trigger to follow the thorny path of science in search of new insights.

Этот сборник статей собирался быстро, легко и радостно. Наверное, потому, что он посвящен 70-летнему юбилею веселого и никогда не унывающего археолога, настырного и везучего ученого, очень светлого и доброго человека, а еще прекрасного товарища и верного друга всех хороших людей – Николая Петровича Тельнова.
Юбиляр много и плодотворно прошел на своем научном пути: от Белгородчины до Буковины, от Крыма до Карпат; экспедициями и разведками, библиотеками и музейными хранилищами; с лопатой и полевой сумкой; с фантастическим терпением и сенсационными результатами, с приобретенным огромным опытом и полученными обширными знаниями, которыми всегда щедро делился с коллегами и учениками. Вотчина Тельнова – это Триполье и скифы, даки и славяне, средневековые кочевники и старые словесы печальной повести о полку Игоревом. Его научное любопытство не знает предела, и мы будем рады, если этот труд послужит и ему, и читателям катализатором поиска новых истин на тернистом пути исследователя.

Excavations at the Old Dairy, Amesbury, Wiltshire, revealed three previously unknown ring-ditches of Early Bronze Age and possible Neolithic dates, a scatter of Neolithic pits, a pit containing dolerite-tempered pottery of probably Middle Bronze Age date and a Final-Phase (7th-8th century) Anglo-Saxon cemetery

Barrows, as burial markers, are ubiquitous throughout North-Western Europe. In some regions dense concentrations of monuments form peculiar configurations such as long alignments while in others they are spread out extensively, dotting vast areas with hundreds of mounds. These vast barrow landscapes came about through thousands of years of additions by several successive prehistoric and historic communities. Yet little
is known about how these landscapes developed and originated.

That is what this research set out to do. By unravelling the histories of specific barrow landscapes in the Low Countries, several distinct activity phases of intense barrow construction could be recognised. Each of these phases contributed to how the barrow landscape developed and reveals shifting attitudes to these monuments.
By creating new monuments in a specific place and in a particular fashion, prehistoric communities purposefully transformed the form and shape of the barrow landscape. Using several GIS-techniques such as a skyline-analysis, this research is able to demonstrate how each barrow took up a specific (and different) position within such a social landscape. While the majority of the barrows were only visible from relatively close by, specific monuments took up a dominating position, cresting the horizon, being visible from much further away.
It is argued in this research that these burial mounds remained important landscape monuments on the purple heathlands. They continued to attract attention, and by their visibility ensured to endure in the collective memory of the communities shaping themselves around these monuments.

Verschiedenen Berechnungen zufolge gibt es im Gebiet zwischen den Flüssen Dnjestr und Prut fast 11 000 Grabhügel, von denen etwa 6300 in Moldawien und 4400 im ukrainischen Teil liegen. Höchstwahrscheinlich begann ihre Errichtung spätestens im zweiten Viertel des 4. Jahrtausends v. Chr. Die meisten gehören zwei chronologischen Hauptperioden an: der jüngeren Jungsteinzeit und der älteren Bronzezeit sowie der älteren Eisenzeit bis zur Römerzeit. Dazwischen nutzten die Träger der Kurgan-Kultur entweder die vorhandenen Grabhügel oder gründeten Flachgräber. 134 Grabhügel (10 %) gehören zum Jung-Eneolithikum-Alt-Bronzezeit vor dem Einfall der Yamnaya-Stämme und 464 (35 %) zur Yamnaya-Kultur. Ein weiteres wichtiges Merkmal, das den Beginn der "Kurgan-Ära" am Ende der Jungsteinzeit und den BA der "Kurgan-Renaissance" in der skythischen und sarmatischen Periode unterscheidet, ist die Umgestaltung der vorherigen Grabhügel.

Today, half of the Netherlands is situated below sea level. Because of this, water-management is of key importance when it comes to maintaining present-day habitation of the Dutch low-lands. In prehistory, however, large parts of the Dutch landscape were highly dynamic due to ongoing fluvial sedimentation. Vast deltaic areas with ceaseless river activity formed the backdrop against which prehistoric occupation took place. Although such landscapes may seem inhospitable, the often excellently preserved archaeological evidence indicates that people lived in these lowlands throughout prehistory.

This book describes why Bronze Age farmers were keen to settle here and how these prehistoric communities structured the landscape around their house-sites at various scales. Using a vast body of evidence from several large-scale excavations in the Dutch river area, the author, reconstructs the changes in the cultural landscape over time. Starting from the Middle Neolithic, changing preferences for settlement site locations and changes in domestic architecture are traced in detail to the Iron Age. However, for proper understanding of the cultural landscape, not only settlements but also graves and patterns of object deposition – and their landscape characteristics – are discussed.

By using evidence of over 50 major excavations, yielding over 300 house plans, this book contains by far the richest data-set on Dutch Bronze Age settlements. Most of these results were not before published in English, making this book of over 500 pages a true academic treasure for an international audience.

The in-depth presentation of Bronze Age settlement sites, as well as the critical discussion of models and premises current in later prehistoric settlement archaeology, have an important relevance stretching beyond the Dutch lowland areas on which it is based. The wealth of high-quality Dutch data is presented as a synthesized (yet well-annotated) narrative, that rises above mere site interpretation, even more so due to its landscape-scale focus. Therefore this book is a must-have for those interested in later prehistoric cultural landscapes and settlement archaeology.

Wielbark culture mounds in Mazowsze and Podlasie And the rostołty type – a new look at the relationship of barrow cemeteries of northern and eastern Poland

A more remarkable feature of the burial customs practiced by the Wielbark culture people during the Younger and the Late Roman Period and early phase of the Migration Period are distinctive barrows recorded in the right-bank Mazowsze and Podlasie, described in the Polish research tradition as Rostołty type. According to their rather general definition these are large barrows (diameter range of c. 20– 60 m), some set apart by the presence of one of more of the following structural elements: internal, round core of several layers of stone, an overlying earth mound and an additional layer of stones laid over the mound, so-called ‘mantle’ (cf. Fig. 2, 5). In earlier analyses barrows of Rostołty type most often were treated as a regional phenomenon (J. Jaskanis 1976; 2012), this despite the occurrence in Wielbark culture territory of one more area with barrow cemeteries, namely, in Pomerania and in the northern reaches of Greater Poland (Fig. 1). In fact, the tumuli of the Wielbark culture from the two zones display a close relationship, one that was pointed out at one time by R. Wołągiewicz (1977; 1986). This fact does not surprise because the area of present day northern Poland is where we have to locate the source area of the migration Wielbark culture people to south-eastern Europe, so well confirmed by the archaeological record and the written sources. The aim of the present text is thus to find out whether the appearance of the barrow cemeteries in Mazowsze and Podlasie may be interpreted as an expression of translation of certain elements of the burial tradition by the migrating Wielbark culture communities.
The first requisite step towards grasping the relationship between the barrow cemeteries of northern and eastern Poland was determining the chronological frames of their use. Chronological analysis of the precisely dated cemeteries showed that, except for the cemetery at Nowy Łowicz, the youngest burials from northern Poland have a dating of phase B2/C1–C1a, while the earliest burials in eastern Poland date from stadium C1b. Also known from both these zones of Wielbark culture settlement are assemblages with artefact dated within the broader frames of phase C1 indicating that the date of the decline of the barrow-building tradition in Pomerania may be moved to stadium C1b (cf. Fig. 7), and the time of appearance of the first tumuli in Mazowsze and Podlasie – to stadium C1a (cf. Fig. 8 & 9). This surmise becomes more plausible once we include in our analysis flat graves, for example, those at Odry (Pomerania) which are dated at least until stadium C1b, and at Cecele (Podlasie) as early as starting from phase B2/C1–C1a.
The chronology of barrow cemeteries presented here corroborates the argument that Wielbark culture communities migrating from northern Poland carried the custom of barrow-building to the eastern region. This hypothesis had to be tested by studying the similarities and differences displayed by the barrow cemeteries known from the two settlement zones of Wielbark culture. The analysis focused on several questions: the siting of the cemeteries, their surface area, number of barrows in a cemetery, presence of flat graves between the barrows, use of the cemetery space, barrow size and construction design, burial rite and grave goods models.
The result of the study was identification of a series of similarities shared by the barrow cemeteries of northern and of eastern Poland. One example would be two models of siting of the cemetery observed in both zones: the first, near rivers, and at the same time, at a relatively small elevation above the floodplain, the second, at some distance from the watercourse, on a prominent elevation (Fig. 11–13). Similarities are observed also in the main rules of construction design of the tumuli, as is shown e.g., by the presence of stone circles around the cores (type 4 acc. to Wołągiewicz; cf. Fig. 16 & 24) or at some distance from them (type 5; cf. Fig. 16 & 18). Also recurring in the northern and the eastern zone of barrow cemeteries are elements of the burial rite: the occurrence of graves in the so-called flat areas (Fig. 14), bi-ritual character of most cemeteries, identical types of cremation and inhumation graves (also of the more rare types, as e.g., burials in the form of a cremation spread out in a layer at the base of the barrow) or the remains of similar ritual activities (ritual hearths; Fig. 30). Analysis of the grave inventories, unfortunately rather limited due to the destruction of many tumuli, reveals similar models of grave furnishings as well as differences in their wealth, both in northern and in eastern Poland. At one end of the scale are burials without grave goods altogether or with their limited selection (cf. Fig. 8 & 9), at the other end – graves with elaborate inventories intimating the connection of the dead individual to the ruling elite (cf. Fig. 31–33).
Next to the prevailing similarities shared by the barrow cemeteries in northern and eastern Poland in some specific aspects differences are also visible. Most notable is the different frequency of specific features of the barrows in the two zones, something that is well apparent during the analysis of their size and construction design. In northern Poland the dominant form is a small mound (less than 15 m in diameter) with a stone core covering almost the whole base of the barrow, whereas in eastern Poland the prevalent form is a large tumulus (over 15 m in diameter) with a visibly domed and centrally situated core. In Pomerania and in Greater Poland barrows with a stone core are encountered only exceptionally, but despite this it is possible to indicate a series of constructions which presumably are their prototypes (cf. Fig. 19 & 20). We mean here arrangements in the form of flat stone pavements surrounded by a stone circle, or pavements and circles covered by earth mounds which resemble in their form the construction of mounds known from Mazowsze and Podlasie. This suggests that differences between northern and eastern Poland may have been caused by evolutionary change at work in the burial ritual of the Wielbark Culture people during the Younger Roman Period.
The comparison made of Wielbark Culture barrow cemeteries recorded in northern and eastern Poland presented here definitely does not exhaust this complex and until now very superficially understood problem. But it does indicate without ambiguity the close relationship of barrow cemeteries from their two zones of occurrence and undermines the legitimacy of isolating a regionally confined Rostołty type. What is more, a closer look at the criteria used in separating this type makes it evident that a large group of barrows, assigned in earlier literature to Rostołty type, do not meet one, or even several, of the criteria. We mean here first of all small mounds with a several layers of stone covering nearly the entire base of the tumulus (cf. Fig. 18:2, 24), not infrequently laid over a grave containing only average grave goods, showing the greatest similarity to Wielbark culture barrows known from Pomerania and Greater Poland.

DELRIEU F. et MILCENT P.-Y. 2012 : Les paysages tumulaires protohistoriques dans le Massif Central (France) : les exemples du Cézallier et du Causse Noir, in. Bérenger (D.), Bourgeois (J.), Talon (M.) et Wirth (S.) : Gräberlandschaften der Bronzezeit – Paysages funéraires de l’âge du Bronze, Actes du Colloque APRAB/LWL de Herne (Westphalie, Allemagne) du 15 au 18 octobre 2008, Bodenaltertümer Westfalens, 51, Philip Von Zabern ed., Darmstadt 2012, pp. 23-57

The textiles from Over Barrow, Cambridgeshire, England present the opportunity to examine the burial practices at the end of the Early Bronze Age. They were excavated from a pit pyre cremation along with cremated bone, a bone needle/pin and two small sherds of a collared urn. Preserved in charred clumps of multiple layers, they have the potential to provide clues as to how the textiles were used in the cremation, for example, whether they were used as clothing, shrouds or for other purpose such as binding strips. These possibilities raise a number of questions as to the role of textiles in Bronze Age cremation burials in the early second millennium BC in Britain.

A rare Chalcolithic rolled-gold bead-like ornament dated to c. 2400–2200 cal. BC was found in association with sherds of early Beaker ware in an Early Bronze Age Collared Urn burial dated
to c. 1545–1450 cal. BC. The grave was located at Pendleton, Lancashire. This paper reports on the AMS radiocarbon dates for the burial context along with X-ray composition analysis of the
gold ornament, which shows the object had a high platinum content consistent with alluvial, placer, deposits possibly originating in Brittany, France rather than the British Isles. This
unparalleled rolled-gold ornament is compared to the corpus of British and French rolled-gold ornaments and contemporary goldwork and a provenance, manufacture and biography of the find is explored. Both curation and fragmentation are considered in the context of a dated Beaker ware assemblage from the local domestic site of Lower Brockholes, Preston, as well as existing corpora of Beaker and Collared Urn ware from the region.

O presente trabalho dá a conhecer os novos dados sobre a arte megalítica descobertos entre 2013 e 2014 no decurso dos trabalhos arqueológicos realizados na Mamoa de Eireira, na freguesia de Afife, concelho e distrito de Viana do Castelo, com o objetivo de interpretarmos o modo de vida e universo de crenças das populações neolíticas através dos seus contextos e práticas funerárias. Estas descobertas assentaram numa metodologia rigorosa que privilegiou, entre outras coisas, a observação dos esteios e o decalque dos motivos gravados diurnos e noturnos. Neste artigo, tentar-se-ão cruzar todos os dados, os quais permitirão formular novas questões que assentam numa premissa básica: no estudo do mundo funerário há que ter em conta que nada é arbitrário, todos os elementos são o resultado de uma escolha criteriosa, guardam uma mensagem ou contam uma história e deverão, inevitavelmente, associar-se às conceções de morte no Neolítico.
