Absence of evidence or evidence of absence? The microarchaeology of an ‘empty’ square enclosure of the Late Iron Age La Tène Culture Open
Archaeological features without macro-finds (i.e. finds visible with the naked eye) represent a common phenomenon that poses considerable methodological problems in interpretation. To tackle these problems, we present an approach based on …

Cattle Make the Difference: Variations and Developments of Animal Husbandry in the Central European La Tène Culture Open
The first part of our research focuses on the analysis of animal remains (>6000 identified specimens, NISP) from the Middle La Tène central settlement Haselbach in Lower Austria, one of the largest investigated archaeozoological assemblage…

A Fluctuating Environment: Micromorphological and Archaeobotanical Investigations of the Early Iron Age Lakeshore Settlement at Traunkirchen (Upper Austria) Open
Since its discovery in 1981, the site at Traunkirchen has remained among the very few Iron Age lakeshore settlements in the Circum-Alpine region. Micromorphological and archaeobotanical analyses of drilled cores from the lake bottom help t…

Materialographic investigations of plate slags from the Late Bronze Age copper production site of Prigglitz-Gasteil (Lower Austria) Open
This paper presents the microstructures and chemical analyses of 10 plate slags from the Late Bronze Age copper production site of Prigglitz-Gasteil in Lower Austria. The analytical results of overview measurements (XRF) and local measurem…

Wood use and forest management at the Late Bronze Age copper mining site of Prigglitz-Gasteil in the Eastern Alps – A combined anthracological, archaeological, and palynological approach Open
The Late Bronze Age site of Prigglitz-Gasteil provides a wealth of proxies for the reconstruction of wood use, past vegetation, and forest management at a copper production site. In this paper we have combined charcoal analyses from domest…

Combining geophysical prospection and core drilling: Reconstruction of a Late Bronze Age copper mine at Prigglitz‐Gasteil in the Eastern Alps (Austria) Open
Prehistoric mines are often too large and too deep for conventional archaeological excavations. Non‐destructive and minimally invasive methods of prospection can help to overcome these limits. Our case study of a Late Bronze Age opencast m…

Melting, smelting, and recycling: A regional study around the Late Bronze Age mining site of Prigglitz-Gasteil, Lower Austria Open
This paper presents a study on copper production and distribution in Lower Austria’s southeastern region during the Late Bronze Age (c. 1350–800 BC), with the focal point being the chemistry and isotopic character of artifacts from a small…

Dig out, Dig in! Plant-based diet at the Late Bronze Age copper production site of Prigglitz-Gasteil (Lower Austria) and the relevance of processed foodstuffs for the supply of Alpine Bronze Age miners Open
This paper starts from theoretical and methodical considerations about the role of archaeobotanical finds in culinary archaeology, emphasizing the importance of processed cereal preparations as the “missing link” between crop and consumpti…

Alpine Copper II – Alpenkupfer II – Rame delle Alpi II – Ciuvre des Alpes II. New Results and Perspectives on Prehistoric Copper Production Open
The exploitation of copper deposits in the mountainous areas of the Alps gained enormous economic importance particularly in the 2nd and 1st millennium B.C., as Alpine copper began to play a central role in the metal supply of Europe. This…
