Tyrimai Nidos akmens amžiaus gyvenvietėje

LT2020 m. liepos 10–13 d. vykdyti nedidelės apimties archeologiniai tyrimai Nidos senovės gyvenvietėje (UK 26019) (Neringa). Tyrimų tikslas buvo dvejopas: atidengti anksčiau (2012, 2016 m.) tirtų perkasų pjūvius ir surinkti mėginius mikromorfologinei grunto analizei, radioaktyviosios anglies datavimui (14C AMS), angliukų rūšinei analizei, kaulų rūšinei analizei, pritaikyti tyrimus tuo pačiu metu vykusio festivalio „Archeologijos dienos Nidoje. Pajūrio akmens amžius“ lankytojams ir pristatyti vykdomus kasinėjimus. Archeologinių radinių Nidoje aptinkama nuo XIX a. [...] [p. 38].

ENIn 2020 small scale excavations was carried out in Nida settlement. Two plots of 1 and 0.25 m2 was excavated with the aim of collecting samples for radiocarbon dating, soil micro morphological analysis, charcoal wood taxa determination and bone fragment analysis. Plot 1 was excavated in western part of the settlement in palaeodepression with humic Neolithic layers. Neolithic pottery was discovered with mineral and grog admixtures in clay mass attributed to Rzucewo (Pamarių) and Corded Ware cultural traditions respectively. Charcoal samples was collected and analyzed for wood taxa, also short–lived tree species was radiocarbon dated. The depression with humic layers was dated to 2600–2500 cal BC. Plot 2 was investigated in the eastern part of the settlement. There a 2.2 m long profile was uncovered and almost 1 m long soil sample collected for micro morphological analysis. In addition 3 soil samples (20 l each) were sieved and floatation method used to collect any finds and small macro remains. Pottery attributed to Rzucewo (Pamarių) tradition was found and a lot of charcoals. In total 647 fragments of charcoal was analyzed and their wood taxa determined. Also a considerable amount of freshwater fish bones was retrieved from flotation samples.
