An archaeological dig is overturning thinking about when people moved from living in valleys to the uplands. It was believed that people lived in the valleys in Britain until about the late Bronze age. But now a site is proving that it was actually the early Bronze Age. Using carbon dating of charcoal and a fragment of pot has proved that people moved to the uplands 400 years earlier than thought. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm245g0rx8vo

#FindsFriday! In 2021, we carried out an exciting excavation in Großmugl, where we documented settlement remains from the #BronzeAge and #IronAge. The #EarlyBronzeAge #pottery included several highlights: vessels decorated with rows of impressions, incised lines, and punctuated dots, some filled with white inlay, like the fragments shown here! #Archaeology #Ceramics #ArchaeologicalFinds #Excavation #EuropeanPrehistory #MaterialCulture #Austria #History #Österreich

Gorgeous fine art from the Early Bronze Age (Troy II-III, inv. 1977/9): a gold earring with free-hanging loop-in-loop chains to which ribbed leaves are attached. The chains are soldered to a tube decorated with rosettes.

With new C14 data, Fynn Wilkes and Henry Skorna, PhD students in the #ClusterROOTS, disprove previous assumptions that different areas of the #EarlyBronzeAge cemetery Výčapy-Opatovce (#Slovakia) were laid out sequentially. Different burial arrangements can be explained socially, not chronologically, they write in Slovenská archeológia: https://www.cluster-roots.uni-kiel.de/en/publications/other-publications-by-roots-member/new-interpretation-of-a-4000-year-old-cemetary

Hi #mastodon I’m a mature, part-time, distance-learner #PhD student at Bournemouth Uni researching location, distribution, #archaeology & #archaeoastronomy of #standingstones in Meirionnydd (mostly Southern Snowdonia), #Wales. I’m fascinated by standing stones everywhere, #folklore, the #EarlyBronzeAge & Welsh landscape. Also, I’m Social Media Officer for the Journal of Skyscape Archaeology https://journal.equinoxpub.com/JSA (watch this space for migration news). Look forward to sharing stories.
