Archaeologists discover bread that predates agriculture by 4,000 years
phys.org/news/2018-07-archaeol…
At an archaeological site in northeastern Jordan, researchers have discovered the charred remains of a flatbread baked by hunter-gatherers 14,400 years ago. It is the oldest direct evidence of bread found to date, predating the advent of agriculture by at least 4,000 years. The findings suggest that bread production based on wild cereals may have encouraged hunter-gatherers to cultivate cereals, and thus contributed to the agricultural revolution in the Neolithic period.

Vorgeschichtliche Siedlungsstelle auf Dortmunder Uni-Gelände entdeckt
archaeologie-online.de/nachric…
Auf einer Wiese an der Technischen Universität Dortmund haben Ausgrabungen die Spuren einer alten Siedlung zutage gebracht. Die Voruntersuchungen für die Arbeiten für eine Freiflächen-Photovoltaik-Anlage auf der Wiese begannen Anfang des Jahres und waren Teil einer Auflage der Stadt Dortmund. In den vergangenen 50 Jahren hatte es bereits verschiedene Einzelfunde in der Nähe gegeben, darunter Steinwerkzeuge und Keramikfunde aus dem Neolithikum, der Eisenzeit, der römischen Kaiserzeit und dem Mittelalter. Die Archäologinnen und Archäologen schlossen daher auf eine hohe und langfristige Nutzung des Areals als Siedlungsgebiet.

Vitamin D status in post-medieval Northern England: Insights from dental histology and enamel peptide analysis at Coach Lane, North Shields (AD 1711–1857)
journals.plos.org/plosone/arti…
Objectives The post-medieval period in Europe saw a dramatic increase in metabolic bone disease related to vitamin D deficiency (VDD). Recent paleopathological work has utilized interglobular dentin (IGD) as a proxy for poor vitamin D status during development, while enamel peptide analysis allows the identification of chromosomal sex in non-adult remains. Here we explore the relationship between sex, the presence of IGD, and macroscopic markers of VDD in an industrial era assemblage from Northeast England. Materials and methods 25 individuals (9 females, 9 males, 9 unknown sex) from the cemetery site at Coach Lane, North Shields (1711–1857) were selected for paleopathological analysis, histological assessment of IGD, and enamel peptide determination of chromosomal sex. Results Ground tooth sections from 21 individuals were of suitable quality for detection of IGD, and enamel peptide analysis confirmed the chromosomal sex of ten individuals. Sixteen individuals (76.1%) exhibited ≥1 episode of IGD. Nine of these (42.8%) exhibited >1 episode and four (19%) exhibited ≥4 episodes in regular intervals. Male sex was significantly associated with the presence of IGD (p = 0.0351; 100% males vs. 54.5% females). Females were more likely to exhibit macroscopic evidence of VDD (45.5% females vs 30% males) but this was not statistically significant. Discussion and conclusions Periods of poor mineral metabolism during childhood appear much more prevalent at Coach Lane than macroscopic evidence suggests. Evidence of seasonal IGD episodes indicates that northern latitude played a major role in poor VD status in the Northeast of England. The significant association of IGD with male sex may be due to sex-related differences in dentinal mineralization or a higher risk of poor VD status in males aged

Schließung des Instituts für Archäologie an der HU-Berlin

Die Archäologie gehört seit fast 200 Jahren zur wissenschaftlichen Tradition der Humboldt-Universität. Ihre Schließung bedeutet den Abbruch einer gewachsenen Forschungstradition und eine dauerhafte Schwächung der Berliner Wissenschaftslandschaft. Die Begründung, Archäologie werde bereits an einer anderen Universität angeboten, greift zu kurz. Wissenschaft lebt von Vielfalt, unterschiedlichen Profilen und konkurrierenden Ansätzen. Ein Fach an einer Universität zu streichen, weil es anderswo...
