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.

<p>This is the supplementary material of the paper "Wealth Consumption, Sociopolitical Organization, and Change: A Perspective from Burial Analysis on the Middle Bronze Age in the Carpathian Basin" (accessible over doi: https://doi.org/10.1515/opar-2022-0281). Please consult the publication for in depth description of the data, its context and for the method applied on the data, as well as references to primary sources. The data tables comprise the burial data of the Hungarian Middle Bronze Age cemeteries of Dunaújváros-Duna-dűlő, Dömsöd, Adony, Lovasberény, Csanytelek-Palé, Kelebia, Hernádkak, Gelej, Pusztaszikszó and Streda nad Bodrogom. The script "supplementary_material_2_wealth_index_calculation.py" provides the calculation of a wealth index, based on grave goods, for the provided data. The script "supplementary_material_3_population_estimation.py" models the living population of Dunaújváros-Duna-dűlő. Both can be run by double-click. Requirements to be installed to run the scripts: Python 3 (https://www.python.org/) with the packages numpy (https://numpy.org/), pandas (https://pandas.pydata.org/), matplotlib (https://matplotlib.org/), seaborn (https://seaborn.pydata.org/) and scipy (https://scipy.org/); all included in Ancaonda (Python-Distribution, https://www.anaconda.com/).</p>
