Lutz Klassen (ed.), The Pitted Ware Culture On Djursland.
Supra-regional significance and contacts in the Middle Neolithic of
southern Scandinavia. Between ca. 3000 and 2800 BC, the Pitted Ware
Culture of northeast European descent spread to the northeastern
parts of Denmark. Here, by far the best archaeological evidence is
known from the Djursland peninsula in eastern Jutland. This volume
presents 12 individual papers that present the available finds from
the key site of Kainsbakke as well as number of other excavated and
not excavates sites. Besides artefacts, the faunal and botanical
remains are dealt with in a comprehensive matter. Several papers
are devoted to scientific analyses of chronology as well as the
provenance of artefacts and selected faunal remains. On this basis,
the Pitted Ware culture in Djursland is interpreted as a group that
emerged locally from Funnel Beaker culture predecessors. This group
choose to distinguish itself from its Funnel Beaker neighbours by
giving itself a unique identity. This identity can be understood as
a combination of Pitted Ware traits in material culture and ritual
conduct obtained through close contact with Neolithic groups on the
west coast of Sweden with elements derived from contemporaneous
Funnel Beaker groups in other parts of Denmark.
