Abstract
This article presents current research on cooking stone pits in northern Germany and southern Scandinavia and examines their function and interpretation. It focuses on recent findings at the site of Mang de Bargen in northern Germany, which contained pit arrangements in various configurations, including a new circular one. The latest 14C dates from Mang de Bargen suggest that the circular formations constitute the earliest evidence of cooking stone pits known so far. A supra-regional comparison, concentrating on the distribution and dating of cooking stone pits in northern Europe, and an analysis of their content, arrangement, and topographic location allows the author to propose how they may have been used.
本文介绍了目前对德国北部和斯堪的纳维亚南部烹饪石坑的研究,并考察了它们的功能和解释。它的重点是最近在德国北部Mang de Bargen遗址的发现,其中包含各种配置的坑安排,包括一个新的圆形坑。曼德巴根最新的14世纪年代表明,圆形结构是迄今为止已知的最早的烹饪石坑的证据。一个超区域的比较,集中在北欧烹饪石坑的分布和年代,并对其内容、排列和地形位置进行分析,使作者能够提出它们是如何被使用的。
期刊介绍:
The publication organ of the European Association of Archaeologists, the European Journal of Archaeology seeks to promote open debate amongst archaeologists committed to a new idea of Europe in which there is more communication across national frontiers and more interest in interpretation. The journal accepts not only new empirical data and new interpretations of the past but also encourages debate about the role archaeology plays in society, how it should be organized in a changing Europe, and the ethics of archaeological practice. All periods are covered; papers, review articles, interviews and short "debate" pieces are all sought. Whilst English is the primary language of publication in the EJA, papers submitted in French or German will be given equal consideration.
