Usually using materials found in nature, like rocks, wooden sticks, threads made out of linen/flax or even animal bones.

Abstract

The paper discusses a rare archaeological and anthropological find - a Late Neolithic grave, found in the year 2000 in Gyvakarai village (Kupiškis region). The site was discovered by chance, when local inhabitants were digging gravel from the slope on the left bank of the Žvikė creek. Radiocarbon dating (two separate samples of bone analysed): 3745±70 bp (right tibia, Ki-9470) and 3710±80 bp (left ulna, Ki-9471) confirmed the initial supposition of Late Neolithic, and actually falls to the very end of this period. The following grave goods associated with the inhumation were found: boat-shaped polished stone axe with shaft-hole; hafted axe, produced from flint of a greyish colour; a blade knife, produced from flint of a greyish colour; a hammer-headed bone (antler?) pin, found among disturbed bones of the burial (to our knowledge this is the first hammer headed pin in Lithuania).

The osteological analysis of the burial revealed that the bones belonged to one fragmentary skeleton. Bone fragments are well preserved, and were from parts of the skull vault, both maxillas, the right side of the mandible, five cervical, twelve thoracic, five lumbar vertebrae, fragments of ribs, the handle of the sternum, both clavicles and scapulae, humeri, ulnae, right radius, right and left hand bones, fragments of both coxal bones, femora, tibias, fibulas and bones of the feet. The skeleton belonged to an adult male that died at the age of 35-45 years. The skull vault was too fragmentary for measurement, visually it can be evaluated as hypermorphic, dolichocranic, with an average or even a broad face. The postcranial skeleton is hypermorphic, with marked muscle insertions. The reconstructed stature is 173-176 cm. Such a massive skeleton is typical of other Lithuanian Corded Ware/Boat Axe culture people, and similar to those found in Estonia, Prussia and later the Fatyanovo people from the Central Russian plain.

This new case forces us to revive the long-lasting discussions about the origins of Indo-Europeans and the Balts. Summarising the current empirical facts and hypotheses based on archaeological, linguistic, anthropological and genetic data, we can find support for both migration and acculturation models. All known Corded Ware/Boat Axe burials in Lithuania are singular, contain individuals of adult/mature age, are associated with a particular set of grave goods and characterised by a very specific phenotype - these facts would support the hypothesis of immigration. However, some facts would also speak for the acculturation hypothesis: probably the adoption of the Indo-European language was earlier, via cultural transfer, and migrants of Kurgan people already found communities with whom they could communicate. However, they left no significant impact on the local anthropological substrate.

The process of Neolithization (transition from foraging to food-producing economy) is discussed using Lithuanian archaeological and anthropological data. Local Neolithic Nemunas and Narva cultures show continuation of the Mesolithic tradition and preference for a foraging economy up to the Early Bronze age. Origins of people of these cultures should be searched for in Central Europe. Late Neolithic Corded Ware culture and its bearers also probably arrived from the south and differed craniologically from the indigenous population. During interaction with local cultures and people, the hybrid Pamariu (Baltic Coastal) culture emerged, its subsistence strategies more related to food production and its population occupying a morphologically intermediate position. Paleodemographic data suggest demic expansion from the south, thus confirming archaeological and craniological data. Paleopathological lesions demonstrate high levels of stress. Morphology of postcranial skeleton and estimated somatometric indices reveal tendencies for gracilization during Neolithic transition, improvement of demographical indexes and leptosomization with the rise of civilization.

Journal Information

Anthropologie - International Journal of Human Diversity and Evolution is a 'four field' anthropology journal, which publishes original articles from every branch of the anthropological sciences. The journal is interdisciplinary and aims at combining insights and approaches from across the discipline, including ones ranging from archaeology to physical and cultural anthropology. The journal features papers in a wide variety of areas, including bioarchaeology, human variability and adaptation, palaeoanthropology and hominid evolution, human biology, human ethology, primatology, prehistory and prehistoric art, and social anthropology. The journal is published three times a year. The journal considers submissions in four categories: Original papers, Research reports, Book reviews and News. Anthropologie also regularly releases monothematic issues, which are either devoted to a single topic or to disseminating the best papers from colloquia. Each manuscript is peer-reviewed in a double-blind process, with neither the two anonymous reviewers.

Publisher Information

The Moravian Museum was founded in July 1817. The museum collections include several million objects, representing valuable scientific material from the fields of literature, music and theatre, geology, mineralogy, botany, zoology and entomology. Fifteen specialised and several service departments work within the museum. The Moravian Museum has developed a rich tradition in scientific, documentation and education work. The results of scientific research are published in scientific journals, monographs, exhibition catalogues and other publications.
