Two aspects were taken into consideration when analysing the assemblage of finds – typological-technological point of view and proportion of knappable raw materials at the site. The assemblage of chipped industry from Bajč comprises of items representing all phases of production process. The initial phase of raw silicite modification (including obsidian) is indicated by primary blades and flakes. The following stage, a primary exploitation, is documented by the presence of crest and subcrest blades. The final phase of the production process is represented mainly by the finished artefacts. Even though the collection contains also production waste, such as blades and their fragments, it mainly comprises tools – the final products of the knapping process. The analysed collection comprises of a wide range of various kinds of silicites and volcanic glass. It is currently the most diverse assemblage of knappable material obtained from the settlements of the Želiezovce group in Southwestern Slovakia. Local silicite raw material – limnosilicite – clearly prevails in the assemblage, but obsidian was also common. Radiolarite of the Szentgál type, chalk flint of the Tevel type, radiolarites of the Bakonycsernye, Gercse and Hárskút types were also identified, although they were fewer. The least frequent raw materials include felsitic porphyry, Volhynian flint, radiolarite from the Klippen Belt of the White Carpathians, silicite of the Kraków-Częstochowa Jurassic period, erratic flint, wood opal and nummulite silicite. A new, previously undescribed raw material has been recorded. It was identified as a siliceous substance of volcanic origin whose primary sources are located within the territory of neovolcanites in central Slovakia.","PeriodicalId":41838,"journal":{"name":"Studijne Zvesti Archeologickeho Ustavu Slovenskej Akademie Vied","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70015245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gerasimov","doi":"10.31577/szausav.2021.suppl.2.13","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31577/szausav.2021.suppl.2.13","url":null,"abstract":"Representative collection of slate fishing inventory was obtained from Beresovo 2 archaeological site in the Karelian Isthmus, North-West Russia. This material is attributed to the Middle-Late Neolithic, 4th ka BC. Series of typologically pronounced tools display variety of fishing equipment and imply diversified methods of fishing. Technological context allows discussing advantages of soft and foliated slate for making fishing and hunting equipment, and connections between bone and slate processing technologies. Slate artefacts were well-presented in the Eastern Fennoscandia, including the Karelian Isthmus, during the whole Stone Age. They also were in use later, in the Middle Ages and up to the Early Modern period. Such a long-term technological tradition was based on availability of this raw material in the regions with lack of local flint outcrops; and also on its physical characteristics that made slate good for processing using knapping, flaking, sawing and finally grinding (polishing) techniques. Different kinds of slate raw material were used within the industry, and they could be used for making implements of different categories. Slate sinkers and fishing hook parts are known in the Neolithic archaeological contexts of the Eastern part of the Gulf of Finland and particularly on the Karelian Isthmus for more than a century. Julius Ailio described a fishing rod sinker from the former Finnish municipality Kaukola on the Karelian Isthmus which he called “Angelsenker” (Ailio 1909, fig. 41 – 43; pl. I: 50). Sakari Pälsi published six beautifully crafted stems of various types, found in the same area, including one with a drilled hole (Pälsi 1915, pl. XI: 1 – 6). Similar artefacts were found in the Neolithic sites that were excavated and studied in Finland in the first half of the 20th century in Finnish provinces Northern and Southern Karelia, including the Karelian Isthmus. Rapid increasing of amount of slate artefacts including fishing hooks and line-sinkers in Finland and Karelia associates with Middle Neolithic Typical Comb Ware culture, the 1st half of the 4th ka BC (Núñez 1998, 112). Fishing tools were rather often discussed in archaeological literature within the general problematic concerning prehistoric subsistence strategies, in relation with fishing methods and osteological collections from archaeological sites (e.g. Äyräpää 1950; Carpelan 1999; Mökkönen 2001; Nurminen 2007; Núñez 2009; Pälsi 1915; Ukkonen 2004). But until the beginning of the 21st century there were no special studies on slate fishing tools. Typology of slate fishing tools for the territory of the Karelian Isthmus and entire Finland was developed by Eero Naskali in the MA. Thesis at the Department of Archaeology, University of Helsinki (Naskali 2004). A large collection of slate artefacts was obtained from a multiperiod archaeological site Berezovo 2 that has been completely studied in 2018 with 1700 sq.m excavation area (Gerasimov/Tkach/Goncharova 2018).

The study focuses on the relation between the morphology, raw material use, size of the points and the character of macroscopic and microscopic traces associated with their use and hafting, as well as the localization on the points. However, from the aspect of use-wear analysis, the collection is a bit problematic. It has been obtained a long time ago, mostly in 1943 and 1963. Instead of being packed separately, numerous leaf points were stored together only in few boxes. Many of them are damaged either by production, or as a result of postdepositional processes, lowering the visibility of the original use-wear traces. First microscopic analysis indicates that these types of tools were probably used as hunting equipment.","PeriodicalId":41838,"journal":{"name":"Studijne Zvesti Archeologickeho Ustavu Slovenskej Akademie Vied","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70015430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mountainous territory of central Europe was occupied during the Early and Middle Gravettian by various human groups. Among these groups, the Pavlovian has a special place. It is world-famous for its rich material culture and symbolic behaviors. Concentrations of its occupations, called microregions, are identified along the natural corridor that crosses Moravia and Czech Silesia (Moravian Corridor). Within this cultural entity, two distinct groups have recently been identified from the lithic industries: a microsaws group and a geometric microliths group. Each of them is characterized by a different behavior towards mineral resources, its stone fossiles directeurs, as well as peculiarities in production systems. This article aims to assess the extension of these two Pavlovian groups to the territory of present-day Slovakia and to identify real series/objects that would validate its analogies. This involves discussing the three sites containing lithic material (the Dzeravá skala Cave, the Nemšová I open-air site, and the Slaninová Cave), which were compared in the past to the Pavlovian or the Early and Middle Gravettian. The first observations suggest that none of these collections delivered material with sufficient quality and quantity to support these analogies.","PeriodicalId":41838,"journal":{"name":"Studijne Zvesti Archeologickeho Ustavu Slovenskej Akademie Vied","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70015630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
