COMFORT Online Lecture presents:Hillforts on the Daugava waterway in Latvia: First results of archaeological and paleoenvironmental research in the INHILLDAUGAR Project
Sep 26, 2023 from 03:00 PM
Virtual Meeting via ZOOM
COMFORT Online Lecture presents:
Jens Schneeweiß: "Hillforts on the Daugava waterway in Latvia: First results of archaeological and paleoenvironmental research in the INHILLDAUGAR Project"
In Eastern Europe rivers represent the main gateways for trading flows between Scandinavia and south-eastern continental Europe. The Daugava River is one of the most important traffic arteries in the Baltic region. On the 350 km long Latvian river section, more than 30 hillforts give evidence of the high significance of this waterway. Roughly half of them have not been investigated at all. The INHILLDAUGAR project takes this archaeologicalriver landscape into macro-scale research focus as a whole system, by combining palaeoenvironmental, archaeological and linguistic studies. The application of non- and minimal invasive field techniques like geomagnetic surveys, drillings and test pits, 14C- and dendrochronological datings are crucial for obtaining valid and evaluable data from a large number of fortifications in a short period of time for understanding the system as a whole in its chronological development.
Drill catenae with the ram core auger through the rampart structures allow an approximation of their structure and stratigraphy. Geological and geomorphological investigations for palaeoenvironmental studies are carried out with the hand auger in the vicinity of the most important sites. Detailed drilling can uncover geoarchives and potential bioarchives that can be used for studies on the palaeoenvironment and human-environment relationships. The achieved data is transferred to a GIS. Crucial for validating the dating is a sufficient number of radiocarbon dates, on average about 20 per hillfort. The outcome of the project will be a GIS-based open
access atlas, including standardized topographic maps of the archaeological monuments and their immediate surroundings, thematic maps related to the core questions of the project and digital modelling of the Daugava waterway in prehistory. In the talk will be presented the project idea and the preliminary results of the
fieldwork in 2022 and 2023.

State emergence and urbanization in the Near East during the 4th millennium BCE. Different models and evolutionary paths
The lecture focuses on the origins and development of the first centralised government institutions, characterised by strong political and economic power, within the wide Mesopotamian world including the peripheral mountain regions of south-eastern Anatolia, drawing comparisons between their features, origins and development paths with those observed in Pre-Dynastic Egypt. The nature of these early forms of political and economic power will be analysed by considering the archaeological evidence of centralisation of resources, mainly essential resources, production means (land and flocks), and labour, as well as the rise of bureaucracy. The needs for administering an increasing amount of transactions led to the development of sophisticated administrative and book-keeping tools and the first appearance of writing and numerical system. Variations in the existence and scale of urbanization and its relationship with the State development will be also considered. Both environmental and social factors will be analysed to highlight the foundation of these crucial changes in the history of human societies and their variability in time and space, reflecting on the possible reasons for their stability or collapse.

Wealth and Poverty in the Roman Empire - the case of Pompeii
Ever since its first discovery, Pompeii speaks to our imagination: an ancient city, almost perfectly preserved, full of beautiful art and everyday objects. While modern archaeologists have been particularly interested in the city’s art and architecture, and in the lives of the urban elite, Pompeii was a city full of social diversity, with extremely rich and extremely poor (and everything in between) living often directly next to each other and using the same urban space. This begs the question of how Pompeii - and with it Roman cities more in general - looked like through the eyes of the different people making up its community. Was Pompeii a different city if you were a wealthy member of the local city council than if you were part of the larger urban populace, and living in a modestly sized house? How did the city look like when you were socially dependent of others, or even held as a slave in one of the elite households? What does that diversity mean for our understanding of the Roman Empire more in general? And has it also something to say about the way we may look at our own cities?

Round Table with Marcella Frangipane on her book "Un frammento alla volta" organised by the Comm. Platform and the RTF
Jun 20, 2023 from 12:00 PM to 01:30 PM
Round Table with Marcella Frangipane to discuss her book "Un frammento alla volta" (“One fragment at a time”; for the moment only published in Italian, see: https://www.mulino.it/isbn/9788815382894).
In the ten chapters of her book, Marcella explores how archaeology operates reconstructing the past from fragments and gains meaning as historical and anthropological science, i.e. how from the study of the origin of phenomena (their ‘roots') we can understand how we came to be as we are today. In tomorrow´s meeting, Marcella will present and discuss some aspects of her new book to our community. This round table therefore offers an opportunity to exchange with her on topics of high relevance for ROOTS in a friendly and informal setting.
The meeting is jointly organised by the ROOTS Communication Platform and the Reflective Turn Forum.

Projects have Life-Histories Too: the Opovo Archaeological Project and the Changing Narratives of its Creators. / Ruth Tringham (University of California, Berkeley).
May 31, 2023 from 06:00 PM to 08:00 PM
Klaus-Murmann-Hörsaal, Leibnizstraße 1, 24118 Kiel
My presentation comprises an exploration of Opovo Ugar-Bajbuk as a place constructed as a historically contingent coming-together of life-histories of people, animals, and things, in an unbroken flow of events and projects. This place has been the focus of lives, events and projects during the 5th millennium BC and in the 20th and 21st centuries CE, but it is not a continuous path. The challenge in archaeology is always how to make the narratives of Now and Then connect. Some of my presentation will address this conundrum, but the life-history of the Opovo archaeological project provides its anchor. How was the archaeological project at Opovo conceived in 1983; how did the investigation of Neolithic burned houses become its key sub-project; what events and projects after its last field season in 1989 diverted its path from the traditional life-path of an archaeological project? Archaeological projects do not die, they have afterlives that are as important as the active life of the project. One such afterlife - almost a resurrection - is the archaeomagnetic research being carried out by the team from Kiel and Panchevo. Part of this talk is to explore how and when in the Opovo archaeological project, the prehistoric narrative - the interpretation of the data - has been written, disseminated, and integrated into other smaller and larger place histories of Neolithic Southeast Europe. The events of the project are created by people - I am just one of them - each of whom have a life-history of changing interests, skills, and imaginations, all of which contribute to the knowledge that is embedded in the life-history of the Opovo Archaeological Project and its afterlives. Lest you think this talk will be overly particularistic, I believe that the details and complexities of the narratives told at this intimate scale will have as rich an affect as any microhistory of later time periods and far richer than a narrative constructed at a broader more evolutionary scale.

“Why Does She Act this Way”? An Oblique Look at Interdisciplinary Cooperation, Opportunities and Limitations in Archaeological Observation, Documentation and Analysis Work"
The citation is taken from a book of Astrid Lindgren, where a subterranean being wonders why two human legs are sticking out of the ceiling of her earth cave. In interdisciplinary projects, one can be confronted with such questions: What is this? Why is it done that way, etc.? Urban archeology in the Nordic countries has always been much about experimenting and working with natural sciences methods, old and new once. In the wake of such collaborative relationships, notorious challenges have arisen about how different scientific practice traditions are explained (or not) and assumed (or not) by the collaborative partners. Often this theme is reduced to a question of weak communication and a lack of insight into cross-disciplinary routinized practice patterns. But there are more than misunderstanding and superficial communication generating this challenge. It is worth thinking of the fact that in the last instance interdisciplinary cooperation is not about what one intends to do, but what one do. So, what do we do?

Genocide in Prehistory? DNA results and initial archaeological considerations from a study of Danish prehistoric skeletons.
Anders Fischer ( Sealand Archaeology, Kalundborg, Denmark )
An ongoing genomic study of Danish skeletal material demonstrates two fundamental population turn-overs during the Neolithic, one at the very Mesolithic-Neolithic transition (c. 3900 BC) and another at the arrival of the Corded Ware/Single Grave Culture (c. 2800 BC). The lecture focuses on the former episode. It presents preliminary results from combined genomic, dietary isotopic, physical anthropological and archaeological analyses of individuals who experienced the dramatic change on their own bodies – allowing us to glimpse what actually happened at the level of individual life histories. Additionally, the lecture considers which scientific aspects we are still ignorant of, as well as political-philosophical questions that we should prepare ourselves to answer.

How History Matters: Rethinking Premodern Governance and Inequality
Gary Feinman (Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, USA)
We have learned a lot empirically in archaeology over the last 50 years, but our concepts and presumptions about human groups and how we organize politically stem from the mid-20th century and, in a sense, the century before that with focus on two big ideas, classifi cation and evolution (progress), as well as a strong emphasis on uniformity and linearity. Now, we have collected enough data to reassessand evaluate our long-standing tenets and assumptions. We now recognize that humans can be both
selfish and highly eff ective in affi liations with nonkin, so cooperation is situational and contingent, hence variable in space and time, not simply an outcome of our specific nature. We no longer can model premodern political organization as a black box or presume that the agency of people in the past was restricted to the elite few. Rather, as we have begun to defi ne under-conceptualized axes of variation, recognize the prevailing openness of our interpersonal affi liations, and see that the path of history is
not linear, it is time to probe and assess the temporal relationships between governance, well-being, and persistence through new conceptual lenses. The formulation of new frames, tenets, indicators, and research questions that leverage the analysis of variation to foster syntheses of the human career has the potential to provide probabilistic lessons to help understand the present and guide our futures.

Focused Group Material Science and Analysis VII (FGMSA VII) – Session 2
Nov 07, 2022 from 03:00 PM to 04:00 PM
Kiel University/Technical Faculty/Kaiserstraße 2/ Room A-239/24143 Kiel
Material Science and Analysis workshop
Analytical analyses play an important role in the study of archaeological artefacts. Frequently, these artefacts, particularly their microstructure and composition, raise questions of inter- and transdisciplinary relevance, which cannot be answered by conventional routine analyses. This workshop aims to show the non-destructive sample preparation method and analytical techniques from the material science, e.g., electron microscopy as well as spectroscopic techniques. These techniques can be used to help clarify some of the questions about the production, origin and use of the archaeological findings.
The workshop consists of 2 sessions.
Session 1/ 14:00-14:50:
Presentations related to the theoretical background of the material analysis techniques, including Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction Method (XRD) and Raman Spectroscopy. After presentations there will be time for questions and discussion.
Session 2/15:00-16:00:
Visit to all the material analysis facilities and laboratories of the technical faculty, including short overview of the measurements.

Westring 385, 24118 Kiel
Was macht eine Pflanze krank? Wie verteidigen sich Pflanzen gegen Krankheiten? Und wie hilft die Pflanzenforschung vergangene menschliche Kulturen zu verstehen? Am Science Day in der KielRegion am 30. September päsentieren das Kiel Plant Center und der Exzellenzcluster ROOTS eine Reihe von Mitmachaktivitäten, bei denen interessierte Menschen nicht nur viel über Pflanzen lernen können, sondern auch erfahren, wie Forschung Fachgrenzen überwindet.
Der Science Day ist der Höhepunkt von Schleswig-Holsteins größter Wissenschaftsveranstaltung, dem "Festival der Wissenschaft" in der KielRegion, und gleichzeitig Teil der europaweiten European Researchers’ Night. Europaweit laden Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler am 30. September zum Lernen, Forschen und Entdecken ein.
Das Programm in Kiel ist genauso bunt und vielfältig wie die Wissenschaft selbst. Von Geschichte über Ethik, Digitalisierung und Sprachwissenschaft bis zu den Naturwissenschaften ist alles dabei. An insgesamt 10 Standorten in Kiel gibt es jede Menge zu entdecken. Einer davon ist die Mensa I der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel am Westring, wo sich die Forscherinnen und Forscher des KPC und des Exzellenzclusters ROOTS auf möglichst neugierige Gäste freuen.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit, sich über vergangene menschliche Gesellschaften und wie man sie erforscht zu informieren, besteht bei der Aktion „Meet-a-scientist“ in der Seeburg an der Kiellinie.
„Das Festival der Wissenschaft bietet damit viel mehr als einfach nur ein kurzweiliges Programm“, so Kiels Oberbürgermeister und Schirmherr des Festivals Ulf Kämpfer: „Die Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus Kiel und aus der KielRegion öffnen uns allen die Türen in die Welt der Wissenschaft und Forschung. Vielleicht wird damit der Grundstein für ganz neue Berufswünsche bei jungen Besucherinnen und Besuchern geweckt. Auf jeden Fall trägt das Festival seit Jahren zur Stärkung unseres Wissenschaftsstandortes bei und führt zu internationaler Sichtbarkeit.“

"Holocene Coastal Depositional Environments – Important Geoarchives and Endangered Environmental areas. Case studies from western Greece"
Talk by Johanna-Mestorf-Chair: Prof. Pavlos Avramidis,University of Patras, Rio, Greece
Abstract:
Coastal areas constitute dynamic depositional environments which are shaped by the interaction of tectonic activity, sea level change and diverse environmetal factors related to human activities. Coastal palaeonvironmental changes in the Mediterranean region during the Holocene are fundamental parameter that influences present and past societies. Lagoons constitute important archives for the study of Holocene palaeoenvironmental changes and several proxies have been imployed to reconstruct shoreline dislocation, sea level and palaeoclimatic changes as well as geomorphological changes. In this presentation three coastal case studies from western Greece will be presented: (a) Zakynthos island, (b) Etoliko lagoon and (c) Gialova lagoon, under the prism of palaeoenviromental evolution and environmental sedimentology.

Archaeological Colloquium: „Rethinking Domestication: Seed-dispersal-based mutualisms“
May 02, 2022 from 06:30 PM to 08:30 PM
Hybrid event
Dr. Robert Spengler • Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, Jena.
When thinking about plant domestication, most of us immediately think about ancient
sickle harvesting and seed sowing, as leading to tough rachises in wheat and barley, but the other seed dispersal properties in crop progenitors are rarely discussed. The first steps toward domestication are evolutionary responses for the recruitment of humans as dispersers. Plants that evolved traits to support human-mediated seed dispersal express greater fitness in increasingly anthropogenic ecosystems. The loss of dormancy, reduction in seed coat thickness, increased seed size, pericarp density, and sugar concentration all led to more focused seed dispersal through seed saving and sowing. I argue that a better understanding of these early steps in the long domestication process can be clarified by looking at the ways plants and animals evolve in the wild. In this talk, I will explore some of these ideas in relation to plant domestication and look at case studies from the Silk Road trade routes that led to both the dispersal and the domestication of certain plants. Humans are the most successful seed dispersers on the planet, and plants evolve in response to mutualistic relationships for seed dispersal.

"Scales of Interaction. Quantity and Quality of Encounters amongst Northern Foragers"
While it is generally acknowledged that most hunter-gatherers live in small groups, notably emphasized by anthropologist Nurit Bird-David (2017), it has recently been pointed out that they may still draw on a quantitatively large social and cultural network (Bird et al. 2019). Here it will be argued that the quality and intensity of interactions may be of greater importance for the impact than the sheer number of contacts. This argument builds on insights from archaeological and anthropological studies of the transmission of technology and of the sharing of such practices. Insights from a multi-scalar study of mid-Holocene foragers in northern Norway illustrates that interaction occurred at several different scales, both spatially and numerically. Through the interpretation of the regularity, frequency and intensity of social and practical interaction it is suggested that although the majority of the time was spent in small and intimate residential units, the assumed flexibility in the composition of these, frequent relocations and regular aggregations led to quantitatively extensive networks. Nevertheless, any transmission of knowledge and skills would have depended on individual interaction over an extended period and the involvement of active practical tasks. It is furthermore argued that to comprehend the dynamics of interaction and transmission also in small scale societies we must consider their heterogenous composition and diversity. Only by envisioning the past as populated by actors of different gender, ages and capacities may we understand the dynamics and complexity of interactions.

"Can We Identify Early Warning Signs of Collapse or Transformation in Social Systems? Some Affirmative Evidence from Pueblo Societies"
For some three decades ecologists and systems thinkers such as Stephen Carpenter, Carl Folke and Marten Scheffer have been arguing that ecosystems may suddenly “flip” from one behavior to another, such as when temperate lakes switch from a clear-water to a turbid-water regime rather than undergoing slow, incremental change. More recently there have also been suggestions that some of these ecosystems may exhibit early warning signals of impending regime shifts. For a decade or more there have also been attempts (including by some archaeologists) to broaden this logic to include social systems. In my opinion these attempts have not been very convincing. Here I report what is possibly (though I’m an interested party) the best evidence to data from the archaeological record in favor of the ideas that (1) these social regime shifts exist; (2) they exhibit early signals of the expected sorts; and from these two findings we can infer that (3) slow internal developments apparently sometimes made theses societies less resilient over time, setting them up for collapse or transformation. These ideas are illustrated by reference to the Pueblo history of southwestern North America from 500 – 1300 CE.
