SUMMARY:Human Past Journal Club
DESCRIPTION:Discussion paper:\nAntonosyan\, M.\, Maurer\, G.\, Mkrtchyan\, S.\, Boxleitner\, K.\, Saribekyan\, M.\, Hovhannisyan\, A.\, … Amano\, N.\, … & Yepiskoposyan\, L. (2025). A biomolecular perspective on mobile pastoralism and its role in wider socioeconomic connections in the Chalcolithic South Caucasus. iScience\, 28(6). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2025.112544 \n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nMobile pastoralism is widely evoked when discussing technological developments\, resource procurement\, trans-regional interactions\, and exchange networks in the South Caucasus. In this study\, we conduct a comprehensive multiproxy investigation of faunal and botanical remains from the Middle to Late Chalcolithic in southern Armenia\, at the high altitude Yeghegis-1 site\, to directly assess herd mobility and human subsistence practices. \n\n\n\nOur findings indicate that\, alongside intensified interregional connectivity\, the inhabitants practiced a rather sedentary form of multi-resource pastoralism\, while maintaining herds at the site year-round. These results complement and expand upon models of pastoral mobility and its perceived crucial role in sustaining inter- and intra-regional connectivity. \n\n\n\nWe argue that alternative models of increased intra-regional connectivity\, focused on exchange between different specialized settled economies\, need to be considered and further research is essential to unravel the complex interplay between subsistence\, trade\, and socio-economic dynamics.

SUMMARY:Talks of the Past Open Seminar: Talking about food in prehistory: Linguistic evidence for dietary practices in Indo-European\, speaker Julia Sturm
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWhat did prehistoric peoples eat? This question can be approached through various scholarly disciplines\, including historical linguistics. More specifically\, historical linguistics methodologies are tools for addressing the question of what ancient peoples discussed when they spoke about food\, including sourcing\, preparing\, consuming\, and sacrificing it. \nThis talk will examine linguistic evidence for the shared foodways of the early Indo-European-speaking peoples (living approximately in the 4th millennium BCE in the Pontic-Caspian steppe). It has long been hypothesised\, based on linguistic and philological data\, that the early Indo-European speakers were a pastoralist culture\, raising herds and consuming\, at a minimum\, dairy products and meat from domesticated animals. However\, what else did they consume? The extent to which these peoples exploited plant material for food is a hotly debated question. Furthermore\, the forms of food preparation used by these communities are difficult to trace. It is agreed that preserving meat with salt was a widely used technique in this area at this time\, but what of other techniques of preparation and preservation\, such as fermentation? \nIn this talk\, Julia Sturm will introduce several open questions regarding early Indo-European foodways and discuss the linguistic evidence for various approaches to these questions. She will also\, where applicable\, point out correspondences (or non-correspondences!) between the conclusions drawn by linguistics researchers examining these questions and those drawn by scholars employing other methodologies (e.g.\, archaeological)\, and discuss future directions for the investigation of this aspect of the culture of early Indo-European speakers. \n \nJulia Sturm is a researcher in ancient and classical Indo-European languages and literatures
