Slavic migration from Eastern into Central Europe, between 500 and 700 AD, brings a proposed change in ‘kitchen culture’ and subsistence, displacing Germanic (e.g. Longobard) groups elsewhere, marking the end of the Late Antique period and the beginning of the Middle Ages. Notably, organic residue analysis of a total of 75 vessels from across the span of these periods confirms a distinct dietary shift between these purported groups. Food can often be one of the most distinctive expressions of social, religious, cultural or ethnic groups and, here, we demonstrate that a clear reliance on millet, in the form of porridge made with milk and, possibly, honey or soups and stews with meat, dominates, likely brought from the Slavic homelands. Thus, absent in the late Antique period, a new diet based on millet may thus have been a contributing factor to the population increase during the Early Medieval period and the subsequent expansion by Slavic groups across Europe. Analysis of a large series of legacy radiocarbon dates from human and animal bone, supported by compound-specific lipid dating of four of the same vessels allows us to identify the turning point of the change in habitus, with Slavic-speaking communities with a new housing culture, foodways and burial rites appearing in Moravia (Czech Republic) and Lower Austria, by the latest 598 AD (but probably much earlier, between 560 and 590 AD).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50254,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archaeological Science","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 106213"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143706283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We produced paleogenomes of four individuals - two neonates found below the floor of the trapezoidal house and one adult and an infant, buried in a pit next to each other. Our aim was to infer genetic relatedness among them to understand the identity of the neonates and why they were buried in association with the houses, as well as what was the function of these unique houses. Genetic results showed that two neonates have both Aegean/Anatolian and Iron Gates hunter-gatherers’ ancestry and that admixed individuals were also present in the buildings. In contrast, individuals found in a pit had entirely Aegean/Anatolian ancestry. Since no biological relatedness was detected, it could be hypothesized that the houses did not function as residential places. One of the possible explanations is that they served the community - as a place for giving birth or as a place where the community's social and ritual activities took place, as supported by symbolic artifacts and artworks found above the floors. The results indicate the existence of strong social relationships in the Danube Gorges, which would facilitate socio-cultural interactions and biological admixtures, providing benefits to early farmers and local foragers, gradually leading to social and demographic changes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50254,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archaeological Science","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 106214"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143678196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given that obsidian is a substance that has been used from the emergence of our genus to the 21st century, reconstructing the movement of obsidian artifacts has great relevance to a wide variety of research questions. Matching obsidian artifacts to their origins has been called “one of the success stories of archaeological science” as well as “one of the most productive and successful research programs of archaeological science” (Williams-Thorpe, 1995). Furthermore, it has been labeled as “a microcosm of the development of archaeological science” (Henderson, 2001), reflecting wider trends within archaeology. Identifying an artifact's source is only a proximate goal: the ultimate aim is to elucidate human behavior in the past. Since its inception during the 1960s, a variety of technological and methodological advances have been incorporated into obsidian sourcing research around the world. The focus here is not an overview of global obsidian sourcing articles. Instead, this paper is organized according to a set of familiar questions: What? When? Who? Where? How? Why? What next?

This is a key issue for radiocarbon dating of linen fragments used in the wrapping of Egyptian mummies, as bitumen has been repeatedly identified in several contexts. Radiocarbon dating of contaminated fragments can be facilitated by an analytical approach involving textile surface analysis by ATR-IR (<em>Attenuated Total Reflection – Infrared Spectroscopy</em>) to diagnose the state of contamination observed on each fragment, followed by a three-step organic extraction to remove all chemical families identified. This study was organized in two parts. First, mock-up samples were prepared, made of modern linen and experimental balms, to develop an integrated methodology based first on ATR-IR diagnosis for the state of contamination of textile, then on a solvent extraction to remove organic contaminants. The solvent extraction was monitored by ATR-IR and radiocarbon dating to control the complete removal of fossil compounds. The extraction protocol chosen is a three-step procedure (3x CHCl<sub>3</sub>, then 3x hexane, then 3x MeOH), which can be tunable depending on the state and the nature of organic contamination on the textile. This new integrated methodology, which can be used in a versatile way to ensure reliable radiocarbon dating of linen archaeological textiles, was then applied to samples collected from an Egyptian child mummy conserved in <em>Musée des Confluences</em>, embalmed using a process that included the use of fossil bitumen. Thanks to this new protocol, we were able to date this mummy to the Late Period of Egypt.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50254,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archaeological Science","volume":"177 ","pages":"Article 106203"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143637629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
