Abstract This paper publishes an assemblage of human- and animal remains from Torresta, a wetland site in Uppland, mid-Sweden, dating to the Bronze- and Early Iron Ages. The location of this material suggests that the phenomena of depositing bodies in watery places occurred much further north than has formerly been accounted for. It is argued that the understanding of such depositions may gain by a move from an anthropocentric focus to include relationships between humans, animals and landscape. In particular, the study makes an effort to explore whether the remains of human and animal bodies were parts of networks of care or neglect and how they could have worked in a more-than-human landscape. The paper suggests that these depositions could have operated as religious materiality and unfolds cross-temporal links with the landscape, as the depositions are located at a rock-art site by a fording point, which may have been of multi-species importance. In this place a variety of materialities from the past have formatted and attracted later depositional action. The paper works with a feminist post-human, relational notion of landscape that experiments with the boundaries between nature and culture and between different times in a place where depositions and bodily movement of humans and animals interlace with geological forces such as land-rise and corresponding water-retreat. Thereby the paper experiments with an altered approach to landscape, accounting for landscape as changing sets of relations, which is more than landscape as captured in the eye of a human beholder or captured in meaning-making processes.

Abstract Bog bodies are well known from sites across north-western Europe, particularly from Ireland, Britain, the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany. The often exceptional organic preservation of these human remains has led to comprehensive forensic studies that have explored a range of factors relating to the individual, from aspects of demography to cause of death and circumstances of deposition. However, there has been surprisingly little analysis of the landscape context of these bodies at the time of their deposition. This paper promotes a landscape archaeology approach to the study of bog bodies by presenting newly modelled data relating to the spatial positioning of those discovered from Lindow Moss, Cheshire, England. It is argued that, by exploring the spatial positioning of the body within its contemporaneous landscape setting, it is possible to enrich previous approaches to their interpretation and to improve our understanding of the cultural context of the death of these individuals and the decisions surrounding their deposition within bogs.

Abstract Waterlogged archaeological site exploration in the Salish Sea of North America has greatly expanded our understanding of this region's distinct cultural evolution. Much of this uniqueness involves ancient weaving traditions, in both basketry and blanket weaving equipment. The twelve main wet sites investigated are situated along the entire length of the newly defined Salish Sea, adding never-before-considered cultural historical time-depth complimenting the 2009 application of the Salish Sea name change. This time-depth stimulates the question – why has there been considerable continuity of the Salish Sea cultural tradition, as reflected in wet sites, over this vast area? What exchange-of-ideas and products are reflected in the evolution of non-textile versus textile artefacts throughout the region and beyond? The ancient basketry and blanket-weaving traditions in the Salish Sea appear to distinguish it through time from the Northern and Southern Northwest Coast arts and artefact traditions.

Abstract Between 2003 and 2008 an archaeological walkover and monitoring survey recorded forty-one archaeological features on Holme Beach, including an Early Bronze Age timber circle, at least one Bronze Age trackway and Anglo-Saxon fishweirs. Coastal processes were seen to affect the features in a range of ways, including initial exposure, greater exposure over time, scouring, loss of timbers, retreat of peat beds and dune faces and concealment by sand. Regular, intensive and detailed monitoring ensured the variable and somewhat unpredictable nature of coastal processes was recorded, with variations identified over time and by location.

Abstract In the Early Iron Age strike-a-lights, or elliptic fire striking stones, were in use all over Scandinavia. Most of them were found during agricultural work in the late nineteenth century, and are recorded as stray finds. This is more an effect of nineteenth century antiquarian practices than of actual circumstances, and more recent and better recorded finds show that the strike-a-lights do have contexts which can be used to understand certain mind sets from the Iron Age, particularly regarding ritual behaviour. The strike-a-lights are found in burials, on settlements and in wetlands. During most of the last century, however, strike-a-lights have received little attention and they need to be re-examined and re-interpreted.

Abstract Because of the diversity of tree species and the high variability in cambial age and growth patterns, dendrotypological methods have been developed in an attempt to sort large timber series from prehistoric wetland sites in south-west Germany. Focusing first on cross-dating short tree-ring sequences for different tree species, the work extended step by step towards a wider approach, which embraced aspects such as wood technology and building structures, socio-economics and woodland management, as well as ecology and environmental changes. Following the methodological presentation, investigations addressing the choice of timber in ancient constructions and underlining the strong relationships between man and forest in former times are illustrated with examples from Iron Age fish traps in the Federsee bog and from Neolithic pile dwellings on Lake Constance.

Abstract Fifteen peat bog settlements have been excavated in the area between the Volga and Oka Rivers in Central Russia over the last few decades. These wetland sites contained cultural layers with well-preserved organic materials from the beginning to the end of the Mesolithic. Faunal assemblages, hunting and fishing tools from the main early Mesolithic sites of the region are described in this article. The data from wetland sites indicates that the economic and cultural model of hunters-fishers-gatherers characteristic of the boreal forests zone was applicable in the Volga-Oka area by the very beginning of the Holocene, or probably earlier. The Mesolithic boreal-culture was perfectly adapted to the forest and lake environment and had gradually developed in the region during early Mesolithic and then over several millennia. This subsistence strategy proved to be flexible and sustainable. It is noted, however, that the natural environmental factors, which caused the emergence of this cultural and economic model in the Upper Volga area at the beginning of the Mesolithic, did not induce significant effects on its subsequent development.

Abstract At the spring tides, during the summer of 2011, a team from the School of Archaeology, University College Dublin, made several research trips to a complex of medieval fishweirs at a location close to Boarland Rock on the Fergus estuary, Co. Clare, Ireland (Excavation license no. 09E0358). The purpose of these visits was to obtain samples of wood from two of the structures, to carry out chronological studies. Through detailed examination of these structures, the aim was to refine approaches to chronological questions so that we might further understand their construction and use history along the River Fergus. Funded through a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship (IEF) and based at the School of Archaeology, University College Dublin, the project was concerned with the precise dating of timber and wood from archaeological contexts.

Abstract On most Scottish crannogs that have been investigated alder is the species most extensively used for construction and therefore has the potential to provide fine chronological resolution for these sites. Dendrochronological studies of alder have now been undertaken on three crannogs, with mixed results. At Buiston the construction of a single comprehensive alder chronology has contributed significantly to the overall chronology of the crannog, whereas at Oakbank and Cults Loch 3 it was only possible to construct numerous small chronologies which have limited value for chronological resolution on the sites. Comparison between the datasets suggest that factors such as the structure of the parent tree, i.e. whether it comes from multi-stemmed coppice or single maiden trees, and the presence of multiple sources are likely to be significant factors in the successful dendro-dating of the species.

Abstract Recent research at the Neolithic site of La Draga on the edge of Banyoles Lake (Girona, Spain) has documented evidence for the occupation of the lakeshore from the final quarter of the sixth millennium cal BC. Excavation during 2010 and 2011 identified at least two episodes of occupation. The oldest episode includes wooden structures, which were superseded and overlain by a paving of travertine blocks during the younger phase. Archaeological materials, artefacts, and pottery styles indicate a level of continuity between the two phases of construction and occupation. Both episodes can be attributed to the Cardial Neolithic. Investigation of the underwater part of the site resulted in the discovery of the first wooden tools from the site and therefore from the prehistory of Iberia.
