The easternmost settlements of the Bandkeramik in their regional context

在第六磨坊的中间。公元前，新石器时代的生活方式向东欧传播。Linienbandkeramik （LBK）的成功和快速扩张将第一批农民带到遥远的东方，直到南甲虫的岸边。在德涅斯特和布格之间，LBK遇到了布格-德涅斯特文化（BDC）晚期的人，这种文化以一套不同的经济、社会和宗教习俗为特征。总体而言，该项目侧重于LBK最东端分支的定居结构，并且还必须处理LBK与当地群体之间的联系，主要是后期BDC，尽管生活方式不同，但占据或多或少相同的领土。计划中的调查将在两个核心地区进行：1)摩尔多瓦中部，那里已证实有相对密集的LBK地点；2)乌克兰中部，在靠近几个布格-德涅斯特地点的南布格河岸上，记录了一个最东端的LBK定居点的痕迹。在该项目的框架内，将处理当前的四个主要问题：1)与已知的西部LBK长屋相比，最东端LBK长屋的特征，2)LBK定居点的规模和区域定居点结构的布局，3)被认为阻止了Bandkeramik向乌克兰黄土地区进一步传播的假定生态屏障的性质，4)Bandkeramik与后期Bug-Dniester文化之间关系的特定特征，接触区的LBK村庄在多大程度上受到这些跨文化接触的影响。因此，我们希望在实地考察和磁测量完成后，将重点放在LBK和BDC遗址的选定部分的挖掘上；前期工作已顺利开展。在过去几年的调查中确定了LBK长屋的位置后，在Bandkeramik的东部边缘，首次有可能记录LBK长屋的全面地面平面图。还需要对燧石制品、陶器和动物骨骼进行分析，以便更好地了解班克拉米克东部边缘地区的生活方式。重建古环境条件（植被历史、土壤性质）是我们调查计划的一个组成部分。我们的多学科方法的最终结果将对Bandkeramik最东端遗址的几个方面及其与邻近文化现象的关系进行全面研究。

In the middle of the 6th mill. BC the Neolithic way of life spread towards Eastern Europe. The successful and rapid expansion of the Linienbandkeramik (LBK) brought the first farmers as far to the East as the banks of the Southern Bug. Between the Dniester and Bug the LBK met the people of the late Bug-Dniester Culture (BDC), characterized by a different set of economic, social and religious practices. At a general level the project focuses on the settlement structure of the easternmost branch of the LBK, and will also have to deal with contacts between the LBK and local groups, mainly late BDC, which, although different in lifestyle, occupied more or less the same territory.The planned investigations will take place in two core areas: 1) Central Moldova, where a relatively dense concentration of LBK sites has been proven, and 2) Central Ukraine, where traces of one of the easternmost LBK settlements have been documented on the banks of the Southern Bug in close vicinity to several Bug-Dniester sites.Within the frame of the project four main current issues will be addressed: 1) the characteristics of the easternmost LBK longhouses in comparison to what is known about them in the west, 2) the size of LBK settlements and the layout of the regional settlement structure, 3) the properties of the presumed ecological barrier that is thought to have halted the further spread of the Bandkeramik to the loess areas of Ukraine, 4) particular features of the relationship between Bandkeramik and late Bug-Dniester Culture, and to what extent the LBK villages of the contact zone were influenced by these intercultural contacts.Therefore we would like to direct our focus on the excavation of selected sections of LBK and BDC sites after field-walking and magnetic surveys have been completed; preliminary work has already been successfully conducted. For the first time on the eastern fringes of the Bandkeramik it will become possible to document full-scale ground plans of LBK longhouses, after their location has been ascertained during the surveys of the last years.Analyses of flint artefacts, pottery and animal bones will also be needed to get closer to a better understanding of lifestyles on the eastern fringes of the Bandkeramik oecumene. Reconstruction of the palaeoenvironmental conditions (vegetation history, soil properties) is an integral part of our investigation programme. The final results of our multidisciplinary approach will provide a comprehensive study of several aspects of the easternmost sites of the Bandkeramik and their relationship with neighbouring cultural phenomena.
