基于人工制品类型的时间框架对于解释考古记录至关重要,但是他们无意中将阶段之间的过渡视为突然事件,并忽略了各个阶段内部和之间的转换过程的时间性。这项研究提供了对丹麦铁器时代早期火田的动态物质文化的绝对时间顺序调查。斯堪的纳维亚南部早期铁器时代的时间顺序框架在很大程度上不受绝对约会的约束,主要是由于它与所谓的“Hallstatt校准平台”(c.750至400calBC)相吻合,由于缺乏进口的人工制品,很难将其与中欧的年表相关联。这项研究应用了放射性碳测年和贝叶斯时间顺序建模的最新方法学进展,特别是火化骨骼中木材年龄偏移的统计模型,并介绍了南日德兰半岛铁器时代早期区域物质文化的首次大规模放射性碳调查,丹麦。日期材料主要是来自三个火田的111个火葬墓葬中的火化骨头。该研究提出了16种陶器和15种金属制品的绝对日期范围,其中包括该时期大多数公认的金属制品类型。这为物质文化的逐渐变化提供了新的见解,当某些人工制品类型在生产和初级使用时,类型被吸收和后来被放弃的速度有多快,区分变化较快和较慢的时期。该研究还提供了该时期的第一个绝对年表,实现与其他地区的时间顺序的相关性。乌恩菲尔德是在青铜时代-铁器时代转型时引入的,这通常被认为发生在公元前530-500年。我们证明了这种转变发生在公元前7世纪,然而,重新讨论了是否应将最后的青铜时代VI期解释为铁器时代的过渡阶段。
Chronological frameworks based on artefact typologies are essential for interpreting the archaeological record, but they inadvertently treat transitions between phases as abrupt events and disregard the temporality of transformation processes within and between individual phases. This
study presents an absolute chronological investigation of a dynamic material culture from Early Iron Age urnfields in Denmark. The chronological framework of Early Iron Age in Southern Scandinavia is largely unconstrained by absolute dating, primarily due to it coinciding with the so-called \'Hallstatt calibration plateau\' (c.750 to 400 cal BC), and it is difficult to correlate it with Central European chronologies due to a lack of imported artefacts. This
study applies recent methodological advances in radiocarbon dating and Bayesian chronological modelling, specifically a statistical model for wood-age offsets in cremated bone and presents the first large-scale radiocarbon investigation of regional material culture from Early Iron Age in Southern Jutland, Denmark. Dated material is primarily cremated bone from 111 cremation burials from three urnfields. The
study presents absolute date ranges for 16 types of pottery and 15 types of metalwork, which include most of the recognised metalwork types from the period. This provides new insights into gradual change in material culture, when certain artefact types were in production and primary use, how quickly types were taken up and later abandoned, and distinguishing periods of faster and slower change. The
study also provides the first absolute chronology for the period, enabling correlation with chronologies from other regions. Urnfields were introduced at the Bronze-Iron Age transformation, which is often assumed to have occurred c.530-500 BC. We demonstrate that this transformation took place in the 7th century BC, however, which revives the discussion of whether the final Bronze Age period VI should be interpreted as a transitional phase to the Iron Age.
