Hoedjiespunt Middle Stone Age Dataset, Western Cape, South Africa
<p>This Middle Stone Age archaeological dataset from Hoedjiespunt 1 was collected in 2011 by a team from the Department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology of the University of Tübingen (Germany) headed by Nicholas J. Conard. South African and European researchers collaborated on this project, with John E. Parkington, Katherine Kyriacou, Deano Stynder, Graham Avery, and Chantal Tribolo making substantial contributions. The site is located within the property of Transnet National Ports Authority in the municipality of Saldanha, Western Cape, South Africa.</p> <p>The locality of Hoedjiespunt 1 was well known as a paleontological site since at least the 1990s, when the site yielded several important Middle Pleistocene hominin remains dated between 200,000 and 350,000 years. The paleontological site also yielded a well preserved assemblage of fauna, including terrestrial and marine mammals, shellfish and ostrich eggshell. The excavators interpreted the accumulation of these finds as the remains of a hyena den. Cultural remains such as lithic artifacts were absent from the paleontological site, which is situated immediately below the archaeological site.</p> <p>The 2011 field work at the archaeological site of Hoedjiespunt 1 took place with the help of students from the universities of Tübingen and Cape Town. The datasets are predominantly in English (with some parts in German) and include field data in the MAIN table. Further analytical data for several classes of artifacts include: LITHICS, FAUNA, OCHRE, and BUCKETS.</p> <p>All of the archaeological materials collected in 2011 are curated by the Department of Archaeology of the University of Cape Town in Rondebosch, South Africa. Funding for this research came mainly from the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the University of Tübingen. Significant support was provided by the Department of Archaeology of the University of Cape Town and the Iziko South African Museums.</p> <p> </p> <p>Importnat references for the paleontological excavations are listed here, while the main publications associated with the 2011 excavations are presented below in the reference section: </p> <p>Berger, L.R. & Parkington, J.E.

Multi-faceted analyses of Poland's Bronze and Early Iron Age hoards: Fig.5. Pottery (A, C), animal bones (B), a human skull (C, D), and a flint tool (D) excavated from underneath the stone layer in Kaliszany (archaeological site no. 3)
<p>The set contains a figure, with with photographs that show examples of finds discovered during excavations at archaeological site 3 in Kaliszany, Wągrowiec commune, Poland. It is a stone and earth structure in which a hoard of metal objects dating to the Late Bronze Age was discovered in 1943. The photo is from the 2022 survey, when the south-western part of the structure was explored. <br><br>The paper and data were prepared as part of a project funded by the National Science Centre, Poland: <em>A Biography of Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages Hoards. A Multi-Faceted Analysis of Metal Objects Related to Monumental Constructions in Poland</em> (UMO-2021/41/B/HS3/00038)</p>
Estonian Stone Age settlement sites: a dataset
<p>This dataset includes the list of Stone Age settlement sites in the territory of Estonia. The list was compiled from published sources, grey literature and existing database records for unpublished sites. The current revision (version 1) of the dataset includes sites from recent systematic surveys conducted until 2017 (with some exceptional sites found later). Only sites with known exact locations were included into the dataset.</p> <p>The sites are classified into four stages of the Stone Age: pre-pottery Mesolithic (9000–5200 cal. BC), Narva (5200–3900 cal. BC), Comb Ware (3900–1800 cal. BC) and Corded Ware (2800–2000 cal. BC). The classification is based on typo-chronology of find materials, also using existing radiocarbon and other dating methods, if possible. The number of sites is 410, with 244 pre-pottery Mesolithic sites, 39 sites with Narva pottery, 60 sites with Comb Ware and 67 sites with Corded Ware. As there is a row dedicated to every habitation period in a location the number of unique site locations is smaller.</p>
