Archaeological Excavations at Killuragh Cave, Co. Limerick: a persistent place in the landscape from the Early Mesolithic to the Late Bronze Age
Institute of Archaeologists of Ireland, 2020Co-Authors: Woodman Peter, Dowd Marion, Fibiger Linda, Carden, Ruth F., O'shaughnessy JaneAbstract:Archaeological Excavations at Killuragh Cave, Co. Limerick, in 1993 and 1996 followed from the discovery of prehistoric material in the 1990s by the landowner, Mr Benny O’Neill. Though a small and relatively inconspicuous site, Killuragh Cave has a long history of animal and human usage, potentially stretching back 11,000 years and continuing intermittently until the nineteenth century. The assemblage of 10,615 animal bones, 229 human bones and 209 artefacts of Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, post-medieval and modern date indicate that this was a persistent place in the landscape. The prehistoric material largely suggests that the cave was associated with ritual and funerary activities, hinting that it may have been remembered and its significance transmitted from generation to generation over several millennia.Irish Research CouncilNational Monuments ServiceNational Museum of IrelandPrehistoric SocietyHeritage Council2020-12-15 JG: external cover page removed from PD

Kalnik-Igrišče – results of Archaeological Excavations in 2015
Institute of arhaeology, 2016Co-Authors: Karavanić Snježana, Kudelić AndrejaAbstract:Tijekom lipnja i srpnja 2015. godine Institut za arheologiju je nastavio sa sustavnim arheološkim iskopavanjem na lokalitetu Kalnik – Igrišče. Istraživanjem su otkriveni slojevi iz kasnoantičkog odnosno rimskog razdoblja, objekt s ostacima keramičkih posuda rimskih i latenskih obilježja, a pronađen je i objekt iz kasnog brončanog doba.During July 2016 Archaeological Excavations at the Kalnik – Igrišče site have been continued. Remains of an above-ground structure from the northwest part of the trench were attributed to the Middle Ages (12/13th c.), confirmed by new radiocarbon analysis results. Pottery remains of Roman and Late Antique features discovered this year have been dated according to four coin finds to the second half of the 4th century. Under those layers a La Tene dug in object (SU 307) with pottery was found dated to 2nd c. BC according to a fragment of a glass bracelet. Under these layers the remains of the Bronze Age object were discovered intact. Hearth and the ruins of a kiln structure made of clay and stone were discovered in situ. Archaeological artefacts found next to those remains can be associated with metallurgy activities (ceramic nozzle, bronze ingot, slag, etc.). These are probably the remains of a metallurgical furnace and hearth. The indications about the position of the eastern part of the Bronze Age object excavated back in 2012 have been confirmed this year, but the discovery of a bronze foundry has exceeded all expectations

Archaeological Excavations of the Kalnik - Igrišće Settlement
Institute of arhaeology, 2009Co-Authors: Karavanić SnježanaAbstract:U radu se donose preliminarni rezultati arheološkog iskopavanja višeslojnog nalazišta Kalnik-Igrišće koje je provedeno u srpnju 2008. godine. Tijekom tih istraživanja otkriveni su slojevi iz razdoblja kasnog Latena i mlađe faze kasnoga brončanog doba (stupanj Ha B). Cilj ovih istraživanja bio je spojiti slojeve i strukture kasnoga brončanog doba iz obje sonde, kako bi se dobila što cjelovitija slika o naseobinskim strukturama. Otkriveni su ostaci kuće s ognjištem, drvenim gredama, rupama za stupove. Na podu kuće pronađeno je dosta karboniziranog zrnja žitarica i divljih jabuka koje su pronađene u keramičkim posudama. Na osnovi tipologije keramike moguće je zaključiti da se radi o mlađoj fazi kulture polja sa žarama koja ima dosta srodnosti s grupom Ruše u Sloveniji.On the southern slopes of the Kalnik Mountain, Archaeological Excavations of the settlement at the Kalnik-Igrišće site resumed in July 2008. The site encompasses cadastral plot 233, owned by the Croatian forest management company Hrvatske šume. The objective of the Excavations was to connect the layers and structures from both trial trenches, covering an overall surface of 60 m² (Fig. 1). During Excavations of the upper part of trial trench 2 stratigraphic units (029-032) were uncovered, which – based on the typological characteristics of the pottery – can be dated to the Late La Tène period, and which are linked to the remains of the floor of the house in trench 1 (SU 004 and 005) (Karavanić 2007). All other stratigraphic units that can be seen on the map (Fig. 2) belonged to the Late Bronze Age period, or to the younger stage of the Urnfield culture. The Late Bronze Age layers in most of trial trench 2 (A-E/1-6) were partially destroyed by later structures, and post holes are the best preserved (SU 035, 037, 040, 042, 044, 048, 052). In the lower part of the trial trench, a layer of soot was found (SU 049, 055), which is associated with SU 014 and probably constitutes the remains of a house floor. The largest concentration of Late Bronze Age finds is in squares A-C/6-9, where under a layer of soot a high concentration of pottery and the remains of carbonized cereals were discovered (Fig.2), while the remains of a wooden beam were uncovered at the eastern profile of the trial trench. At the bottom of the excavation area, in squares B-C/11-12, there was a larger hearth (SU 057-058) that had a smooth surface and a substructure of yellow sandy soil. Pottery finds, stones and bone artefacts suggest that in this part of the settlement, everyday household activities proceeded that were associated with weaving (spindle whorls and weights) and food preparation (remains of cereals and vessels), and it is possible that a certain phase of pottery production proceeded here as well (remains of stone polishers). Some fine ceramics finds (Fig.3) suggest that pottery production in this part of the Kalnik-Igrišće settlement is typologically and culturally associated with the Ruše group in Slovenia, particularly with the settlement at Brinjeva gora (Pahič 1981; Oman 1981), and there are also many analogies with the settlement Špičak near Bojačno (Pavišić 1986/1987; 1993; 2001). These two settlements are directly associated with the Ruše cultural group in Slovenia, and they are dated in the Ha B stage, i.e. the younger Urnfield culture. The Excavations at Kalnik-Igrišće have shown significant differences in relation to the Excavations of 1988-1990 (Majnarić-Pandžić 1992;1998), in which the part of the settlement from the early Urnfield culture was discovered, where bronze-casting activities took place

the water chestnut trapa natans l as a food resource during the 4th to 1st millennia bc at lake federsee bad buchau southern germany
Environmental Archaeology, 2006Co-Authors: Sabine KargAbstract:AbstractDuring Archaeological Excavations at several wetland sites around Lake Federsee, remains of water chestnut were detected. The finds are dated to between the 4th and 1st millennia BC. Until recently the starch-containing nuts of water chestnut were used for human nutrition in Europe. The nuts can easily be harvested in autumn. Pollen and plant macrofossil remains from several sites are proof of a wide distribution during the Holocene, probably influenced by humans. Nowadays this annual water plant is extinct in many parts of Europe. The growing conditions of water chestnut are strongly restricted with regard to water quality, depth and temperature, and therefore finds of this plant have the potential to allow reconstruction of former ecological conditions.
