Dendroarchaeology of Sovjan - the first Early Bronze Age dendrochronological analysis from the southwestern Balkans (Albania)
The archaeological site of Sovjan is situated on the north-western edge of the Korçë
Basin, south-eastern Albania. The stratigraphy of Sovjan spans from the Neolithic till the
Bronze Age. The thoroughly investigated stratigraphic sequence of the site makes it one
of the most important prehistoric reference-sites in Albania and the surrounding region.
During prehistory Sovjan was situated at various distances from the shores of the former
Lake Maliq, which once filled the Korçë Basin, but was definitely drained after the 1940s.
The waterlogged conditions on the site allowed for a high degree of preservation of
wooden remains. From the two uncovered dwellings from layer 8, the Maison du Canal
(House on the Canal) represents probably the best-preserved wooden structure from the
Bronze Age Balkans. The predominant use of deciduous oak wood (Quercus spp.) is
confirmed in this phase.
Through a combination of dendrochronological analysis and 14C-dates (wiggle
matching), we were able to define a high-precision chronological placement of the layer
with an end-date range falling between 2158 and 2142 cal BC (2Ï), the second half of
the Early Bronze Age. It was confirmed that the two dwellings and the trackway were
built in the same construction event, made of both worked and unworked wood. The
utilized construction timber falls into various age-classes, suggesting variable
exploitation of the woodland resources.
Additionally, through Bayesian modelling of the previously published 14C dates from the
transitional layer 7, its chronological placement is narrowed-down to the 22nd â 20th
century BC.
These new results suggest the contemporaneity of the processes in the Balkan
âhinterlandâ with those occurring in the wider Aegean region
Palaeogeographical reconstructions of Lake Maliq (Korça Basin, Albania) between 14,000 BP and 2000 BP
International audienceSince the early 1990s, excavations of a protohistoric lakeside settlement in the Korça basin carried out by a FrenchâAlbanian archaeological team have induced geomorphological and palynological studies about the sedimentary records of Lake Maliq. These studies allow us to distinguish a series of centennial-scale high and low lake level events between 4200 and 4000 cal BP (2899â2637 BC/2843â2416 BC) and 2600 cal BP (822â671 BC), probably due to large-scale climate changes (in the Mediterranean basin). In addition, the sediment sequence also gives evidence of a millennial-scale trend of lake level rise. It appears to be an interplay between lake level rises and falls against tectonic subsidence of the basin allowing accommodation space for sediment deposition. The variations of the lake's level and the lake's surface area influenced the development and the abandonment of the nearby lakeside settlements (like the tell of Sovjan). In order to prepare an archaeological survey around the now dried up lake, we made a 3D model of the Holocene deposit from the lake including these lake level results, geomorphological mapping, excavation data, numerous core logs, AMS 14 C dating and SRTM DEM data. The GIS model allowed us to propose four palaeogeographical reconstructions of the extension of Lake Maliq: around 14,000 BP, during the Mesolithic (around 9000 BP â 8781â8542 BC), the Early/Middle Bronze Age transition (around 3800 BP â 2310â2042 BC) and the Iron Age (2600 BP â 822â671 BC). A map of the thickness of the sediments above potential archaeological layers is also proposed
LES VARIATIONS DE L'EXTENSION DU LAC MALIQ (BASSIN DE KORĂĂ, ALBANIE) EN RELATION AVEC L'OCCUPATION HUMAINE ENTRE 14000 BP ET 2000 BP
International audienceDepuis le dĂ©but des annĂ©es 1990, les fouilles archĂ©ologiques menĂ©es dans le bassin de Korçë, notamment sur le tell de Sovjan, occupĂ© du NĂ©olithique ancien (7990 cal BP, soit 7060 - 6899 av. J.-C.) jusquâĂ lâĂge du fer (2600 cal BP, soit 822 - 671 av. J.-C.), ont confirmĂ© lâimplantation de populations sĂ©dentaires, pratiquant lâagriculture et lâĂ©levage depuis le NĂ©olithique ancien (LAFE 2005 ; LERA 1990 ; LERA et al. 1996 ; TOUCHAIS et al., 2005). Il sâagit de la civilisation dite « culture de Podgorie » (KOBAS 2005 ; KORKUTI 1995 ; PRENDI 1990). La partie nord du bassin de Korçë a Ă©tĂ© occupĂ©e par le lac Maliq, jusquâĂ ce quâil soit assĂ©chĂ© par drainage Ă la fin des annĂ©es 1950. Ă cette Ă©poque, lâextension du lac variait de 40 km2 Ă la fin de lâĂ©tĂ© Ă 80 km2 (FOUACHE et al. 2001). Du NĂ©olithique ancien Ă lâĂge du fer, et surtout Ă la pĂ©riode du Bronze moyen (autour de 3800 cal BP, 2310 - 2042 av. J.-C.), de nombreuses implantations humaines occupaient les rives du lac (fig. 1) comme sur le site de Maliq, le seul site « palaffitique » Ă©tudiĂ© dans le bassin (PRENDI, 1966) ou Sovjan, un site de rive (TOUCHAIS et alii, 2005).Afin de reconstituer plus prĂ©cisĂ©ment la densitĂ© de ces sites et dâaboutir Ă un modĂšle dâimplantation humaine autour du lac Maliq, la Mission franco-albanaise a entrepris des prospections archĂ©ologiques systĂ©matiques. En prĂ©liminaire Ă ces prospections, des reconstitutions palĂ©ogĂ©ographiques de lâextension du lac Maliq ont Ă©tĂ© proposĂ©es pour quatre pĂ©riodes clefs : autour de 14000 BP, le MĂ©solithique (autour de 9000 cal BP, soit 8781 - 8542 av. J.-C.), le Bronze moyen (autour de 3800 cal BP, soit 2310 - 2042 av. J.-C.) et lâĂge du fer (2600 cal BP, soit 822 - 671 av. J.-C.). Ces reconstitutions ont Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©es Ă partir dâun SystĂšme dâInformation GĂ©ographique (SIG) associĂ© Ă un ModĂšle NumĂ©rique de Terrain (MNT) en trois dimension, incluant des donnĂ©es topographiques, gĂ©ologiques, palĂ©oenvironnementales et archĂ©ologiques.Ces reconstitutions permettent Ă©galement de discuter de lâinfluence possible des variations climatiques holocĂšnes sur les fluctuations du niveau du lac Maliq

The genetic history of the Southern Arc: a bridge between West Asia and Europe
By sequencing 727 ancient individuals from the Southern Arc (Anatolia and its neighbors in Southeastern Europe and West Asia) over 10,000 years, we contextualize its Chalcolithic period and Bronze Age (about 5000 to 1000 BCE), when extensive gene flow entangled it with the Eurasian steppe. Two streams of migration transmitted Caucasus and Anatolian/Levantine ancestry northward, and the Yamnaya pastoralists, formed on the steppe, then spread southward into the Balkans and across the Caucasus into Armenia, where they left numerous patrilineal descendants. Anatolia was transformed by intraâWest Asian gene flow, with negligible impact of the later Yamnaya migrations. This contrasts with all other regions where Indo-European languages were spoken, suggesting that the homeland of the Indo-Anatolian language family was in West Asia, with only secondary dispersals of non-Anatolian Indo-Europeans from the steppe
