“…The Mátra Mountains have been populated for several millennia: the first signs of human presence date back to the Upper Paleolithic (Blattshaber-Blattspitzen complex, unknown dates, see in Bíró, 1984;Gutay, 2016). Permanent settlements were found on the lower slopes from the Late Neolithic (Linear Pottery Culture 5600-4500 cal yr BC, see in Domboróczki et al, 2016), while hillforts (Supplementary Figure 1) were built on several peaks during the Bronze Age (Füzesabony Culture 1700-1300 cal yr BC in Hungary, Kyjatice Culture 1100-700 cal yr BC in Hungary, see in Dénes and Nováki, 2010;Metzner-Nebelsick, 2012). Several towns and villages were established in the foothills during the Middle Ages (Fodor, 2010).…”

Exposure matters: Forest dynamics reveal an early Holocene conifer refugium on a north facing slope in Central Europe

Although several studies provide a broad overview of vegetation changes in the Carpathian Basin during the Holocene, stand-scale vegetation changes are lesser known because of the rarity of suitable sampling sites. In this study we investigated the sediment of a small closed-canopy site (Nagy-forrás forest hollow, 685 m a.s.l., 0.1 ha), located in the Mátra Mountains, on the north facing slope of Kékes (1014 m a.s.l.). We carried out detailed pollen, conifer stomata and plant macrofossil analyses, as well as radiocarbon dating to examine Late Glacial and Holocene dynamics of vegetation development. The site dates back to ca. 15,500 cal yr BP, when open boreal forests and wet tundra-like habitats occurred around the hollow. Closed forest cover developed around 14,600 cal yr BP, when a boreal European larch-Swiss stone pine ( Larix decidua-Pinus cembra) forest surrounded the hollow. This vegetation type remained stable up to 7700 cal yr BP. We observed a hiatus between 7700 and 2710 cal yr BP, followed by a beech ( Fagus sylvatica) dominated mixed temperate deciduous forest. Our results confirmed that the area was covered by a primary forest, as human influence was visible only from 175 cal yr BP. The relatively long lasting persistence of Pinus cembra in the Holocene at relatively low altitude was documented, which has never been found in Holocene sediments in the Pre-Carpathians before. We hypothesize that the north facing slope acted as a cold-stage refugium in the Early Holocene and could play the same role for the present-day beech forest that is threatened by recent climate change.

Direct, accurate, and precise dating of archaeological pottery vessels is now achievable using a recently developed approach based on the radiocarbon dating of purified molecular components of food residues preserved in the walls of pottery vessels. The method targets fatty acids from animal fat residues, making it uniquely suited for directly dating the inception of new food commodities in prehistoric populations. Here, we report a large-scale application of the method by directly dating the introduction of dairying into Central Europe by the Linearbandkeramik (LBK) cultural group based on dairy fat residues. The radiocarbon dates ( n = 27) from the 54th century BC from the western and eastern expansion of the LBK suggest dairy exploitation arrived with the first settlers in the respective regions and were not gradually adopted later. This is particularly significant, as contemporaneous LBK sites showed an uneven distribution of dairy exploitation. Significantly, our findings demonstrate the power of directly dating the introduction of new food commodities, hence removing taphonomic uncertainties when assessing this indirectly based on associated cultural materials or other remains.

“…Research in the last decades brought to light large LBK settlements in the area of Transdanubia, in the vicinity of Budapest and even to the east of the Danube. [32][33][34] There are indications that during settlement reconstructions of the LBK one should take into account the possibility of settlement rows and not only in Transdanubia, but in the wider area of the LBK too. 35,36 Indeed, surprising similarities can be seen between the settlement layouts of the LBK/TLPC and ALPC.…”

The füzesabony-gubakút settlement development model of the alföld linear pottery culture in the light of the recent archaeological discoveries at hejőpapi-szeméttelep (2008-2011) and bükkábrány-bánya vii -vasúti dűlő (2009-2011) AbstractThanks to the extensive excavations that have been going on since the mid 1990s, archaeological research has managed to gain a greater insight into the settlement history of the ALPC. The large linear settlements and neatly arranged house-pitgrave ensembles offered an excellent opportunity to examine the relative and absolute chronology of the settlements and to gain an understanding of the settlements' internal development mechanism. The ALPC settlement development model on micro, mezo and macro scales was based on our key site of Füzesabony-Gubakút and its microregion in the southern Heves area. The most recent excavation results from Hejőpapi-Szeméttelep and Bükkábrány-Bánya VII -Vasúti dűlő in the Borsod area should be considered excellent test data for our model, as these sites were excavated in almost their entirety. As the processing of the finds from these excavations is still to come, the test in question is only really relevant for the structure of the settlement. Even so it is possible to draw serious conclusions from the data we already have.Keywords: excavation, chronology, carpathian basin, neolithic settlements, körös culture Journal of Historical Archaeology & Anthropological SciencesResearch ArticleOpen AccessThe füzesabony-gubakút settlement development model of the alföld linear pottery culture in the light of the recent archaeological discoveries at hejőpapi-szeméttelep (2008-2011) and bükkábrány-bánya vii -vasúti dűlő (2009-2011)
