Archaeobotanical and palynological investigations on the subsistence and environmental influence of the Bronze Age settlement Fidvár near Vráble, Slovakia

Vráble（斯洛伐克西南部）附近的考古定居点Fidvár的特点是厚的文化层和三个周围的沟渠系统。它坐落在黄土覆盖的多瑙河丘陵，就在萨尔基相矿石山脉的南部，居住着中欧的Unjetice人，东欧的Hatvan人和以下的Mad'arovce文化。通过考古植物学分析，重点关注烧焦的谷物及其相关的杂草植物区系的经济背景和历时发展将进行调查。这些定居点之间存在着什么样的社会经济差异？菲德瓦尔与附近较小的定居点的关系如何？这个定居点是自给自足的，还是一个集中于冶金业的消费场所？除了考古发掘中丰富的考古植物学材料外，沟渠沉积物也被用作花粉和宏观遗迹的现场档案。将在合适的场外档案中进行孢粉学分析，以重建新石器时代早期以来的自然环境及其人类诱导的文化景观。将我们的结果与来自同一档案的考古学和地理沉积学数据相结合，将导致对Fidvár的兴衰及其对周围景观的依赖和相互影响的最完整的概念。

The archaeological settlement Fidvár near Vráble (SW-Slovakia) is characterized by thick cultural layers and a system of three surrounding ditches. It is located in the loess covered Danubian Hills just south of the Slovakian Ore Mountains and was inhabited by the middle European Unjetice-, the east European Hatvan- and the following Mad’arovce Culture. By archaeobotanical analyses focusing on charred cereals and their associated weed floras the economical background and its diachronic development will be investigated. What kind of socio-economical differences in-between the settlement did exist? How was the relation of Fidvár to the smaller settlements in its vicinity? Was the settlement self-sustaining or a consumer-site, concentrated on metallurgy? In addition to the rich archaeobotanical material from archaeological excavations, also the ditch sediments are used as on-site archives for pollen and macro remains. Palynological analyses to reconstruct the natural environment and its human induced turn to a cultural landscape since the early Neolithic Age will be conducted on suitable off-site archives. Combining our results with the archaeological and geographic-sedimentological data from the same archives will lead to a most complete notion of the rise and fall of Fidvár and its dependency and mutual influence on the surrounding landscape.
