“…A tendency towards a younger mean age in the palaeosols in the western part becomes obvious. During the early Medieval period, Slavonic expansion in the eastern part might have caused increased human impact that lasted until the 10th century AD, when the number of Slavonic settlements declined owing to external stress factors (expansion of the Carolingian empire) and internal political crisis (Brather , ). From at least AD 1000 the sod economy became increasingly important for the rye cultivation in the western sand‐belt and initiated drift‐sand formation up until modern times (Behre ; Blume & Leinweber ; van Mourik et al .…”

Aeolian sands are widespread in the European sand‐belt. While there is a consensus about the timing of increased aeolian activity and, in contrast, of surface stabilization during the Lateglacial, knowledge about Holocene aeolian dynamics is still very sparse. It is generally assumed that aeolian processes have been closely connected to human activities since at least the Neolithic period. A compilation of 189 luminescence dates from aeolian sands of Holocene age and 301 14C‐dates from palaeo‐surfaces, comprising palaeosols, buried peats and archaeological features from the whole sand‐belt, is plotted as histograms and kernel density plots and divided into sub‐phases by cluster analysis. This is also done separately for the dates from the areas west and east of the river Elbe. Our results show that aeolian activity did not cease with the end of the Younger Dryas but continued in the whole European sand‐belt until the Mid‐Atlantic (c. 6500 a BP), presenting evidence of vegetation‐free areas at least at the local scale. During the subsequent time period evidence of aeolian sedimentation is sparse, and surface stabilization is indicated by a cluster of palaeo‐surfaces ascribed to the early Subboreal (c. 5000 cal. a BP). The agglomeration of luminescence ages around 4000 years is probably connected with intensified land use during the Late Neolithic. Younger phases of aeolian sedimentation are indicated by clusters of luminescence ages around 1800 years, a group of luminescence ages from the Netherlands and NW Germany around 900 years, and a group of ages around 680 years in Germany. Among the dates from palaeo‐surfaces, clusters were identified around 2700, 1300 and 900 cal. a BP as well as around 690 cal. a BP in the western part and 610 cal. a BP in the eastern part of the sand‐belt. The clusters within the luminescence ages and the 14C‐dates coincide with phases where increased human impact can be deduced from archaeological and historical sources as well as from environmental history.

“…Estonian, Komis, Mordvin) (Tambets et al, 2004; Peričić et al, 2005 and references therein). The expansion of this haplogroup might have occurred at least three major episodes of gene flow: early post‐LGM recolonization of Europe from the refugial area of present‐day Ukraine (Semino et al, 2000a), migrations from the northern Pontic steppe between 3000 and 1000 BC and the historically attested Slavic migration from the 5 th to 7 th centuries AD (Peričić et al, 2005; Brather, 2001; Fusek, 2004).…”

SummaryThe Hungarian population belongs linguistically to the Finno-Ugric branch of the Uralic family. The Tat C allele is an interesting marker in the Finno-Ugric context, distributed in all the Finno-Ugric-speaking populations, except for Hungarians. This question arises whether the ancestral Hungarians, who settled in the Carpathian Basin, harbored this polymorphism or not. 100 men from modern Hungary, 97 Szeklers (a Hungarian-speaking population from Transylvania), and 4 archaeologically Hungarian bone samples from the 10 th century were studied for this polymorphism. Among the modern individuals, only one Szekler carries the Tat C allele, whereas out of the four skeletal remains, two possess the allele. The latter finding, even allowing for the low sample number, appears to indicate a Siberian lineage of the invading Hungarians, which later has largely disappeared.The two modern Hungarian-speaking populations, based on 22 Y-chromosomal binary markers, share similar components described for other Europeans, except for the presence of the haplogroup P * (xM173) in Szekler samples, which may reflect a Central Asian connection, and high frequency of haplogroup J in both Szeklers and Hungarians. MDS analysis based on haplogroup frequency values, confirms that modern Hungarian and Szekler populations are genetically closely related, and similar to populations from Central Europe and the Balkans.

“…According to Hodgson et al (1999), who used a functional approach, the earliest meadow use was in the Iron Age where the first scythes were found (Leube 2003). In southern Germany, grassland species only increased in the Iron Age, which was interpreted as a signal of permanent open land or grassland (Rösch, Heumüller 2008 (Brather 2008), did not know the scythe (Hempel 2008).…”
