Waste and behaviour: LBK settlement in focus
Original language description
The settlements of the Linear Pottery Culture (LBK) have been a major topic of research on the Early Neolithic (5500-4900 BC) in Central Europe for almost a century. However, despite many years of research, we are still unable to answer the fundamental questions of how these settlements were formed, which limits any research focused on, for example, chronology or socio-economics. Therefore, the study of taphonomy and waste management is in this context crucial.This paper presents a case study focusing on waste management at the LBK settlement in Hlízov (Czech Republic). The study analysed the fragmentation, refitting, or concentration of artefacts in the pits surrounding house-ground plans. The results indicate that waste management was much more complex than previously thought. It was also found that each type of waste (pottery, chipped stone, ground stone) was treated differently by Neolithic people. The case study shows that without waste management and taphonomy research, our understanding of everyday life at the settlements is very misleading and over-optimistic. Although the examined founds do not say much about the socio-economics, households or identity of the Neolithic people, they do provide authentic testimony of human behaviour in relation to waste management in the settlement space.
