Hunter-gatherer worlds of postglacial Eastern Europe:
Relations and innovations between Black Sea, Baltic and Urals
Henny Piezonka, Institute of Prehistoric Archaeology, Free University, Berlin
In the Early Holocene, a frontier line between two socio-economic macro-formations ran from the western Baltic through parts of Eastern Central Europe to the North-Western Pontic and on to the Caucasus and further south-east. This boundary, modelled on the basis of early pottery dispersals across Afro-Eurasia, separates a European world influenced by the spread of farming lifestyles and related material cultures and world views originating in the Near Eastern Neolithic, from a trans-Eurasian hunter-gatherer world characterized by – and traceable through – its own independent ceramic technologies. In the North-West Pontic region, this situation is exemplified by the easternmost Linear Band Pottery culture and the Bug-Dnestr culture adjacent to the east. Far from being a border, this boundary situation created a dynamic sphere of interaction that constituted both hybridization and conscious differentiation between social groups and communities.
In this lecture, I will discuss the current state of knowledge on hunter-gatherer lifeways, environment and socio-cultural dynamics between the Urals, the Baltic and the Black Sea and devaluate transregional relationships with formations further south-east, focussing on the 7th to 5th millennia cal BC.
