          Abstract

          The excavation of the Wattendorf-Motzenstein Corded Ware settlement in Franconia (Germany) has yielded new information with regard to the architecture, economy, and ritual activities, as well as the social organisation of Final Neolithic groups in Central Europe. The settlement is dated to 2660–2470 cal BC and was an agrarian community. Detailed analyses of the material culture combined with biological and pedological parameters allowed new interpretations regarding Corded Ware economies as well as domestic and ritual spheres. The settlement contained about 35 individuals at most, who were organised in fewer than eight households. The exceptional results obtained call for further research strategies to be developed.

          Résumé

          L'excavation de l'occupation poterie cordée de Wattendorf-Motzenstein en Franconie (Allemagne) a fourni de nouveaux renseignements en ce qui concerne l'architecture, l'économie et les actes rituels, aussi bien que l'organisation sociale des groupes du néolithique final en Europe centrale. l'occupation date de 2660–2470 av. J.-C. en années calibrées et était une communauté agraire. Des analyses détaillées de la culture matérielle associées à des paramètres biologiques et pédologiques ont permis de nouvelles interprétations en ce qui concerne les économies de la poterie cordée ainsi que leurs sphères domestique et rituelle. l'occupation comprenait environ 35 individus au plus, qui étaient répartis en moins de huit foyers. Le caractère exceptionnel des résultats obtenus appelle au développement de nouvelles stratégies de recherche.

          Résumen

          La excavación del asentamiento de Cerámica Cordada de Wattendorf-Motzenstein en Franconia (Alemania) ha revelado nueva información sobre la arquitectura, economía, y actividades rituales, así como sobre la organización social de los grupos del Neolítico Final en Centro Europa. El asentamiento, datado entre 2660–2470 cal a.C., era una comunidad agraria. El análisis detallado de la cultura material combinado con parámetros biológicos y pedológicos, ha permitido nuevas interpretaciones de las economías de la Cerámica Cordada así como de las esferas ritual y doméstica. El asentamiento estaba habitado por unas 35 personas como máximo, distribuidas en menos de ocho hogares. Los excepcionales resultados obtenidos requieren el desarrollo de nuevas estrategias de investigación.

          Zusammenfassung

          Die Ausgrabung der schnurkeramischen Siedlung Wattendorf-Motzenstein in Franken (Deutschland) hat neue Informationen sowohl zur Architektur, Wirtschaftsweise und rituellen Handlungen als auch zur sozialen Organisation der spätneolithischen Gruppen in Mitteleuropa erbracht. Die Siedlung datiert 2660–2470 cal BC und stellt eine agrarische Gemeinschaft dar. Detaillierte Analysen der materiellen Kultur kombiniert mit biologischen und bodenkundlichen Eckdaten ermöglichen neue Interpretationen zur Wirtschaftsweise der Schnurkeramik und zu den häuslichen und rituellen Bereichen. Die Siedlung wurde von maximal ca. 35 Individuen bewohnt, die sich auf weniger als acht Haushalte verteilten. Die außergewöhnlichen Ergebnisse sprechen für eine Entwicklung von weiteren Forschungsstrategien.

          Intcal04 Terrestrial Radiocarbon Age Calibration, 0–26 Cal Kyr BP

          A new calibration curve for the conversion of radiocarbon ages to calibrated (cal) ages has been constructed and internationally ratified to replace IntCal98, which extended from 0–24 cal kyr BP (Before Present, 0 cal BP = AD 1950). The new calibration data set for terrestrial samples extends from 0–26 cal kyr BP, but with much higher resolution beyond 11.4 cal kyr BP than IntCal98. Dendrochronologically-dated tree-ring samples cover the period from 0–12.4 cal kyr BP. Beyond the end of the tree rings, data from marine records (corals and foraminifera) are converted to the atmospheric equivalent with a site-specific marine reservoir correction to provide terrestrial calibration from 12.4–26.0 cal kyr B P. A substantial enhancement relative to IntCal98 is the introduction of a coherent statistical approach based on a random walk model, which takes into account the uncertainty in both the calendar age and the14C age to calculate the underlying calibration curve (Buck and Blackwell, this issue). The tree-ring data sets, sources of uncertainty, and regional offsets are discussed here. The marine data sets and calibration curve for marine samples from the surface mixed layer (Marine04) are discussed in brief, but details are presented in Hughen et al. (this issue a). We do not make a recommendation for calibration beyond 26 cal kyr BP at this time; however, potential calibration data sets are compared in another paper (van der Plicht et al., this issue).
