“…Wydaje się jednak, że gospodarcze modele były bardziej zróżnicowane. Grupy łowiecko-zbierackie w elastyczny sposób eksploatowały środowisko, wykorzystując zasoby wodne oraz polując na mniejszą faunę oraz ptactwo (Kabaciński, Sobkowiak-Tabaka, 2009;Sobkowiak-Tabaka, 2017, s. 291).…”

The researches on the Paleolithic society of hunters-gatherers enter into an inspiring perspective, enriching the reflection on memory. The article considers the forms of the collective memory of the hunters-gatherers community of the Paleolithic era. The author postulates to widen the term of memory with the practices of embodiment and habitual memory. It helps to grasp the ways of memorizing by the communities on a deeper level. Cultural memory is deeply rooted in routine activities, which is more or less conscious. The mnemotechnic power that lives in such activities allows for preserving of cultural models. The archaeological analyses of flint working materials present the very concrete examples of such events.

“…It is most famously known from the excavations of Alfred Rust in the Ahrensburg Tunnelvalley in the first half of the 20 th century, where abundant organic remains were recovered alongside lithic material [83,84]. The Hamburgian culture is, however, also known from Holland [85], Poland [86,87], Denmark [88,89], and perhaps even as far afield as Scotland [90]. Whilst a fairly substantial suite of radiocarbon dates is available for this techno-complex [91,92], the individual dates are of highly variable quality and context, and the majority of sites lack absolute dates due to overwhelmingly poor organic preservation at most sites.…”

Tephra, tephrochronology and archaeology – a (re-)view from Northern Europe

Volcanic eruptions are often, although by no means always, associated with a profuse output of fine pyroclastic material, tephra. While residence time in the atmosphere of the very finest of these particles can be substantial, the deposition of the bulk of volcanic ejecta can be considered instantaneous from a geological, archaeological, and evolutionary perspective. Often these volcanic products can be identified by various chemical and non-chemical means and if the eruption date is known, the occurrence of tephra from a given eruption in stratigraphic sequences provides a powerful means of dating such deposits, or of refining available dating schemes. Furthermore, the occurrence of tephra from the same eruption across sites, regions and in various types of depositional contexts (ice-cores, terrestrial, marine, cultural) holds the potential of linking and thus elucidating the tempi and causes of both environmental and cultural change. Recent years have seen considerable advances in tephrochronology studies, especially regarding the detection of macroscopically invisible micro-or cryptotephras. In parallel with the possibility of detecting hitherto invisible tephras over vastly increased areas, the overall potential of tephrochronology as a major dating tool for both palaeoenvironmental scientists and archaeologists is greatly expanded. The aim of this paper is not to be comprehensive, but to provide a brief and timely general review of tephra studies and their methodologies, and to make a case for better linking tephra research to archaeology, all from a primarily Scandinavian perspective. We argue that the identification of tephra in archaeological sediments should, in due time, become as routine as other types of geo-archaeological analyses, especially given that tephra cannot only act as a useful chronostratigraphic marker, but can also play a role in changing patterns of environmental and cultural change at the level of the site or the region. In order to move towards such integration, a series of methodological challenges have to be met. We outline some of these, and provide pointers as to how and where tephrochronologists and archaeologists can work together more closely.

The Final Palaeolithic Hunter-Gatherer Colonisation of Lithuania in Light of Recent Palaeoenvironmental Research

This paper critically reviews the culture-historical framework for the re-colonisation of Lithuania during the Final Palaeolithic in the light of recent palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental data. We argue that the existing chronology of the Final Palaeolithic in Lithuania suffers from an undue western European orientation grounded in research history, and that it likely requires reconsideration. The lack of well-constrained excavations, the paucity of both radiocarbon dates and of palaeoenvironmental data pertinent to the Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition (LGIT) lead us to be cautious with regard to the existing chronology. In reviewing the typological classification of the relevant lithic material, we argue in particular that there is a lack of reliable evidence not only for Hamburgian occupation but also for any substantive Federmessergruppen, Brommean and Ahrensburgian presence. Whilst Swiderian sites are better represented, a large majority of these may date to the early Holocene. In light of the current evidence, we question the usefulness of existing archaeological taxonomies for this period and favour a model of punctuated colonisation for the Lithuanian territory, where periodic and ephemeral forager presences are interspersed with longer periods of depopulation. In closing, we outline avenues for future research in the region.
