Applying isotope analyses of cremated human bones in archaeological research – a review
(the Authors, 2020) Wolska, Bogumiła
Numerous experiments have recently been conducted on burnt bones in order to develop methods of isotope analysis which would be useful in archaeological research. Since the results of these studies are not yet widely known, this review presents their potential applications in investigations of human remains from cremation burials. Radiocarbon dating of burnt osteological materials is discussed, including problems related to the “old wood effect”. Also considered is the analysis of light stable isotopes, i.e. δ13C, δ15N and δ18O, which is unsuitable for palaeodietary determinations, but useful as a source of information about certain parameters of funeral pyres. Tracing geographical origins and human mobility is possible by means of the analysis of strontium isotope ratio 87Sr/86Sr. Since an understanding of high-temperature-induced transformations of bone structure and chemical composition is important for these considerations, a detailed account of the processes is given as an introduction.
Bayesian age modelling of the Magdalenian settlement in the territory of present-day Poland
(Institute of Archaeology of the Jagiellonian University, 2014) Bobak, Dariusz; Połtowicz-Bobak, Marta
The paper addresses the problem of the use of Bayesian methods for modelling age of the Magdalenian settlement on the territory of contemporary Poland. Basing on 14C datings of 10 sites we present the chronological frames of settlement on particular sites and we model occupation dynamic of Polish territory. Bayesian methods made it possible to clarify and in some cases to significantly narrow time frames of Magdalenian settlement on the research area
Dating of the Mierzanowice culture settlement in Jarosław, site 158, Podkarpackie province, based on the results of radiocarbon analyses
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Pelisiak, Andrzej; Rybicka, Małgorzata
For the Mierzanowice culture from western Lesser Poland, the settlement in Iwanowice, Babia Góra site, is a chronological benchmark. A large number of datings obtained for objects from Jarosław, site 158, Podkarpackie province, provides grounds for treating that settlement as a model one in the eastern range of the Mierzanowice culture. The radiocarbon dating and ceramic design features allow them to be placed in a wide chronological frame of 2200–2000 BC.
Nekropole z bezkomorowymi grobowcami kultury pucharów lejkowatych w Polsce południowo-wschodniej w dorzeczach Wisły i Sanu. Przegląd historii i stanu badań
(Muzeum Okręgowe w Rzeszowie, 2016) Król, Dariusz
The research on cemeteries with unchambered tombs of the Funnel Beaker Culture has a long tradition in south-eastern Poland. Within the course of the twentieth century these necropolises were recorded in the areas of Sandomierz, Lublin and Western Małopolska lands. In recent years, they have also been identified in the Rzeszów Foothills. Due to field and cabinet works, carried out by various scientific centres for many years, it was possible to gather a lot of information about this phenomenon in this Trichterbecherkomplex zone. It relates mainly to the morphology of tombs and graves, and their spatial relationships. Relatively much is known about the age and sex structure of individuals buried there and accompanying artefacts. A novelty in recent times is a significant increase in data in terms of radiocarbon dates. They are some of the most crucial and desired sorts of information, explaining the time of functioning of such necropolises. This fact is particularly intriguing as for e.g. the attempt to determine time relations with over similar forms present in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian zone and the places of local settlement systems.
Oznaczenia radiowęglowe zbiorowych grobów ciałopalnych trzcinieckiego kręgu kulturowego z Polski Środkowej
(Muzeum Okręgowe w Rzeszowie, 2020) Muzolf, Przemysław
The article presents new radiocarbon determinations obtained for collective graves from the Trzciniec cultural circle (TCC) in Central Poland. The dated graves were associated with the Konstantynów group and belong to the late phase of the TCC. As a result of the research carried out on this form of burial, it was possible to distinguish two types of graves and locate their concentrations in Central Poland in the zone where the materials of the Konstantynów group occur. The established dates, together with the technological and stylistic analysis of ceramic materials, make it possible to determine two time horizons in the late phase of the Trzciniec culture circle.
Radiocarbon dating of the Funnel Beaker culture settlement in Vynnyky-Lysivka (Western Ukraine)
(Muzeum Okręgowe w Rzeszowie, 2021) Hawinskyj, Andryi; Rybicka, Małgorzata; Król, Dariusz
In the 1950s, a settlement of the Funnel Beaker culture (FBC) was discovered on the Lysivka Hill in Vynnyky (Fig. 1), located in the centre of the West Ukrainian territory of this culture (Hawinskyj, Rybicka 2021). Currently, it belongs to a small group of FBC sites in Western Ukraine that have been excavated. The information presented by M. Peleshschyshyn, who conducted excavations in Vynnyky-Lysivka, regarding the relationship between the FBC community and the Tripolye culture (TC) was particularly interesting (see Rybicka 2017). He believed that Vynnyky recorded the coexistence of their population (Peleshschyshyn 1998a, 191). The burnt daub clusters discovered at that time could probably have been the remains of dwellings. The aim of the research carried out since 2016 was to verify the hypotheses of M. Peleshschyshyn (1998a) in the context of the FBC-TC relationship (Hawinskyj, Rybicka 2021) and to establish the date of the settlement usage in Vynnyky-Lysivka. Radiocarbon dating obtained for the samples from the features from the northern zone of the settlement, allow the researchers to be placed Vynnyky-Lysivka in the period 3500–3360 BC and synchronized with the third phase of the southeastern FBC group.
The First Chronometric Markings of the Late Stage of the LPC in the Northern Foreland of the Sandomierz Upland
(Fundacja Rzeszowskiego Ośrodka Archeologicznego, 2017) Szeliga, Marcin
The article presents results of first radiocarbon analyses carried out for samples obtained from the Linear Pottery Culture settlement on site 6 in Tominy, Opatow district. Presented radiocarbon dates highly enrich current database of chronometric markings relating to the early Neolithic in the Sandomierz Upland and its northern foreland. Together with data on stylistic and typological differentiation of the vascular pottery, seem to reveal a specific course of development of local groups of the Linear Pottery Culture, which is characterized by particularly long term functioning of the music note ornamental traditions, as well as their late, little intense and retarded coexistence with the early-Želiezovce stylistic influences. These data are also a quite significant contribution both to the discussion on the overall time range of the Linear Pottery Culture, as well as the nature and course of the final stage of its development in the upper basin of the Vistula River.
