“…The chronological gap between the earliest kill/butchering sites during the Late Preboreal/ Early Boreal period and the classical settlement sites during Boreal and Early Atlantic period and the absence of winter sites prevent detailed reconstruction of the annual cycle of occupation and the Maglemose mobility pattern. But considering these few elements, probable mobility of small (family) groups (Grøn 1995), in a relative restricted area or with repeated seasonal occupations of the same areas, can be proposed. This was, for instance, discussed after the discovery and analysis of healed hunting injuries on some mammal bones ), suggesting a certain territoriality of animals and humans, probably at a seasonal level, during this period, and leading occasionally to the hunting of the same ungulate populations.…”

“…Based on the abundance and diversity of archaeological material, the site was interpreted as a settlement site (Sarauw et al 1903) involving a wide range of activities such as lithic production, bone tool manufacture, and subsistence activities. The spatial distribution of lithic waste (Grøn 1995, Blankholm 1996 led to the hypothesis of a small inhabitation for a small group of people on an islet in the middle of a former lake, with a large refuse area in the lake (Figure 2, Leduc 2010b, p. 127-129), as described at Ulkestrup I and II (Andersen 1951, Andersen et al 1982, Grøn 1995.…”

This article presents results from recent re-analysis of the faunal remains from Mullerup (Zealand), the first excavated site attributed to the Maglemose Culture (9600-6550 cal BC) in Denmark. All faunal remains and fragments related to the bone tool industry (pieces and waste) were studied together, in order to reconstruct the total exploitation of animal resources for dietary as well as 'technical' (non-dietary) purposes by Maglemosian groups. The detailed quantification of species, individuals, skeletal elements, as well as marks on the bone surfaces provides relevant data to reconstruct the relative contributions of the five main hunted species (ungulates) to subsistence and technical activities, such as bone tool production. The ungulates were exploited in different ways, depending on species, transport strategies, and raw material needs. This article particularly focuses on the acquisition of raw material for making bone tools and its influence on the whole carcass treatment. The reconstruction of the total exploitation of animal resources thus addresses important issues in Maglemose socioeconomic organization.

“…Although the marsh fern has a less broad application, some species of this fern have been used to fight worms and ringworm (Stichmann-Marny and Kretzschmar 1994;Podbielkowski and Sudnik-Wójcikowska 2003). In the Mesolithic, they could have also been used as mattresses (Grøn 1995).…”

Plant processing in the Late Mesolithic Poland: in search for function of the mysterious ‘curved knives’

Studies on the treatment and use of plants in the Mesolithic are difficult due to the small number of sources. However, they are important because it was one of the basic branches of the economy of the early Holocene community. This article presents the results of use-wear and experimental studies aimed at the interpretation of the function of the so-called curved knives. These tools are associated with the treatment of silica plants, but their actual function is not fully understood. The research was based on a collection of 66 products of this type from five sites in central Poland and is one of the first published research on tools of this kind from this part of Europe. As a result of microscopic analysis, eight types of curved knives were distinguished. In order to identify the plant species, the knives were used on an experimental programme based on the results of palynological studies carried out at site 6 in Ludowice, an economically specialised site. As a result of the traceological analyses, a number of correlations between artefacts and experimental tools have been identified that can provide an important step towards interpreting the actual function of the curved knives. At the same time, the large discrepancies in the traces resulting from the processing of different species of silica plants were documented and the probable use of many of their species in the European Mesolithic was suggested.

“…Dette kan settes i sammenheng med omskjefting og at dette har foregått på lokaliteten. Grøn har påpekt sammenhengen mellom nettopp mikrolitter, ildsteder og hyttetufter (Grøn 1995a). I motsetning til på flere av de andre lokalitetene på prosjektet er det imidlertid ikke påvist strukturer tilknyttet den mellommesolittiske fasen på Nordby 2.…”

“…Strukturer tolket som stolpehull fremstår ofte som usikre og til tider vanskelig definerbare (Hernek 2005:108). Samtidig er det stor variasjon i de stolpehullene som er dokumentert (f.eks . Grøn 1995a;Jensen 1995;Hernek 2005;Åstveit 2008a; Casati og Sørensen 2009; jf.…”
