Get PDFBeretning for en større forundersøgelse af et 51.000 m2 stort areal forud for råstof-indvinding øst for Næs i Vordingborg kommune. Der fremkom spredtliggende oldtidsaktivitet i form af 15 kogegruber. Kogegruberne betragtes som perifer bebyggelsesaktivitet, men kunne ikke relateres til nogen bebyggelse, hvorfor arealet blev frigivet til anlægsarbejde efter endt forundersøgelse. Forundersøgelsen blev foretaget af arkæolog Francesco Denaro for Museum Sydøstdanmark i april 2025.<br/

Behind the Mask - Archaeometric Analysis of Four Gilded Romano-Egyptian Mummy Masks from the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen
Get PDFThis study investigates the materials, production techniques, and craft involved in the creation of gilded mummy masks from ancient Egypt, focusing on four masks from the collections of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen. These masks, dating from the 1st century BCE to the 2nd century CE, are an example of the dual existence of traditional Egyptian style and the new Roman stylistic elements. Various analytical methods, including imaging FTIR, SEM-EDS, and palaeoproteomic analysis, were employed to identify and examine the composition of the materials. The results show the main components of plaster to be gypsum and calcite. Red and yellow ochre were sometimes used in preparation layers for gilding, which was made with silver-containing gold leaf. Four masks is not representative of major changes in gilding techniques, but the study does reveal information about the methods and materials available, including preferences and variations in ancient Roman Egypt
Continental European Plain
No full textThis chapter focuses on presenting changes in the material culture from the ninth–fourth millennia bc, in the Northern and Eastern European Plains territory. Most of the data is based on literature and our own analyses carried out on selected C14 dated sites. We focus on the diversity in the lithic materials and the technology of blade production. The tool typology and lithic technology are characterized within the archaeological cultures Komornica, Butovo/Kunda, Kudlaevka, Chojnice-Pieńki, and Janisławice. This nomenclature is still used in the literature, but the perception of the cultures has shifted from perceiving them as societies to treating them as basic terminology to describe the most common groups of Mesolithic materials
From Wilderness to Pasture - Bronze Age Grazing Landscapes in Thy, Northwest Denmark
No full textSince the 1990s, when S. T. Andersen and B. Odgaard compared pollen records from western Jutland and Thy, it has been clear that the rise in heathland pollen percentages at Lake Solsø in west Jutland and the increase in grassland pollen in the Lake Ove diagram from Thy represent parallel phenomena. Beginning with the Single Grave culture, the grasslands of Thy expanded significantly, reaching their peak during the Early Bronze Age due to population growth. In the pollen record from Lake Ove, this grassland expansion is subsequently followed by an increase in heathland during the Late Bronze Age. This article explores the relationship between human activity and landscape development, drawing on a new quantitative landscape reconstruction based on pollen data from Lake Ove. Particular attention is given to the formation of grasslands and heathlands during the Bronze Age.More than five thousand years ago, the Neolithic communities of Northern Europe began to expand the open heather-based ecosystem that we know as heathlands. Through a combination of fire and grazing their livestock, humans cleared the post-glacial forests and expanded the niche for Calluna vulgaris (heather) and other heathland plants. Heather, an evergreen shrub, served as a vital resource – for winter grazing, for fuel, for tools, for thatch, for byre-bedding, and as fertiliser. The multiple affordances of heather meant that the Calluna heathlands, over time, became deeply embedded in the evolving domestic and funerary architecture. In these heathland landscapes, wide networks of mobility, transhumance and exchange developed
