“…hunter-gatherers (mainly the Ertebølle complex). Contacts and interactions with the Neolithic in this zone in the 5 th millennium BC are well attested to (see Klassen 2004). In Poland they are extremely clearly demonstrated at the Dąbki site (Czekaj-Zastawny et al 2011a).…”

“…9, the distribution of the Altenstadt-Greenlaw type of jade axehead). Two very large axeheads of Puy type (respectively 23.7 and 36 cm long) made of Mont Viso jades reached the island of Zealand in Denmark (Klassen 2004;Pétrequin et al 2012b) and the distance travelled by these axeheads from the Paris Basin is the same as that between the Paris Basin and Plemięta, as the crow flies. Therefore, the long distance travelled by the Plemięta axeheads cannot in any way be an argument for doubting their provenance.…”

“…Given the similarity between the two Plemięta adze-heads and those of Bégude type from the Alps, one might have expected the former to have been made of Alpine jades (jadéitites, omphacitites, very fine-grained eclogites), particularly since these 'objectsigns' had been prized by the elites of the 5th and 4th millennia, and they circulated over a large part of the western 'Europe of jade' (which is in contrast to a central and Balkan 'Europe of copper': Pétrequin et al 2002;Klassen 2004, Klassen et al 2012Pétrequin et al 2012b).…”

“…A rapid review of the polished adze-and axeheads of probable Danish, southern Swedish or north German origin that are considered to be possible imitations of Alpine examples (Klassen 2004) would seem to bear out that the Plemięta hoard is not isolated along the Baltic coast. Among the five polished axeheads whose raw material macroscopically resembles the diabase-dolerites of the west of France (Fig.…”

The adze-heads from Plemięta, Grudziądz district (Poland): Alpine jades, Armorican products and very long-distance exchanges

Pétrequin P. and Rzepecki S. 2016. The adze-heads from Plemięta, Grudziądz district (Poland): Alpine jades, Armorican products and very long-distance exchanges. Sprawozdania Archeologiczne 68, 39-63. Discovered in the 19th century, the hoard from Plemięta (Chełmno county, Poland) consisted of three polished adze-heads, of which two are in the Museum in Grudziądz. Until now, this hoard had been assumed to be linked to Danubian farming communities. A petrographic approach coupled with an in-depth, Europe-wide typological study allows us to rethink this cultural attribution. In fact, the Plemięta adze-heads had very probably been made in the Armorican massif (France), produced by specialists directly influenced by the standards of the earliest adze-heads of Alpine jades from Mont Viso in the Italian Alps.This proposition, which is supported by other examples of adze-and axeheads that had probably been imported into southern Scandinavia from France, re-invigorates the hypothesis that there had been western European influences on communities of the Eastern TRB Group, pertaining to the circulation of 'object-signs' and ideas over distances exceeding 1500 km as the crow flies.

“…There are many reports on human disturbance of vegetation in northern Europe during the Mesolithic from pollen analytical studies (e.g. Vuorela 1986;Kolstrup 1990;Regnell et al 1995;Poska 2001) and on possible pre-Neolithic agriculture (Edwards and Hirons 1984;Göransson 1988;Klassen 2004;Poska and Saarse 2006). However, few of these studies discuss the use of specific plant species and several arguments against Mesolithic agriculture in central and Northern Europe have been advanced (Behre 2006).…”

Pollen was analysed from a sediment sequence collected in the close vicinity of the Mesolithic settlement Tågerup, southern Sweden. Macroremains were also retrieved from numerous samples taken at the site of the archaeological excavations of Kongemose and Ertebølle settlement phases, 6700-6000 B.C. and 5500-4900 B.C. respectively. Plants and other organic remains were well preserved in the refuse layers from the settlements embedded in the gyttja. The pollen record includes no clear indications of human impact on the vegetation during the Mesolithic. The occurrence of charcoal particles and pollen of grass and herbs associated with nutrient-rich soils are contemporaneous with the Kongemose settlement. The Ertebølle settlement phase, although characterised by considerable dwelling activities less than a hundred metres from the pollen sampling site, is scarcely seen in the pollen data. Numerous finds of crushed dogwood stones from the Kongemose phase, often partly carbonised, suggest that these stones were used for the extraction of oil. Other plants found in the Kongemose refuse layers that may have been used are apples, cherries, raspberries, acorns and rowan-berries. Based on the abundance of hazelnut shells found at the studied site and in other studies of Mesolithic sites in southern Scandinavia it is proposed that these remains may testify to an important food supply rather than just use as a supplement to animal protein. It is also hypothesised that a regional decrease in hazel populations and thus hazelnut availability at the end of the Mesolithic may have motivated the adoption of Neolithic subsistence.
