Daniel Pilař et al., « Waste Around Longhouses: Taphonomy on LBK Settlement in Hlízov », HAL SHS (Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société), ID : 10.1515/opar-2024-0032
The research investigates the waste management and taphonomy of a Linear Pottery Culture (c. 5600-4900 BC) settlements. Waste deposition significantly shaped the archaeological record of the Early Neolithic in Central Europe and its reconstruction fundamentally influences our perception of the settlement space and the daily life of Neolithic people. Traditionally, it has been assumed that individual households discarded waste near their longhouses. However, findings from the site Hlízov (Czech Republic) reveal a more complex waste management system, with designated disposal areas and differential treatment of various waste types. Additionally, two overlapping waste distribution networks were identified, indicating distinct models of production and waste management organisation. These settlement-wide networks were discovered due to the abandonment of the rigidly used house unit model, which appears to be inadequate for this site.
