Erfolg, Grenzen und Misserfolg von Subsistenzstrategien im östlichen Mitteleuropa während des frühen Gravettien und des Letzten Glazialen Maximums

DFG-Projekt, 2020-2023

Das Letzte Glaziale Maximum (LGM, ca. 24.000-19.000 cal BP) war, im Gegensatz zur landläufigen Meinung, eine Zeit relativer klimatischer Stabilität und wiedererstarkender menschlicher Populationen. Die unwirtlichsten klimatischen Bedingungen des gesamten Jungpaläolithikums herrschten vielmehr während des vorhergehenden späten Gravettien (ca. 29.000-25.000 cal BP). Der Fokus des Projekts liegt auf einem Fundstellen-Cluster in Österreich, Mähren und Südpolen, welches – obwohl nur dünn besiedelt – anders als andere Regionen nördlich von 50°N nicht von einem Populationszusammenbruch während dieser klimatischen Ungunstphase betroffen war. Daraus ergeben sich folgende Fragen: Was machte die Region besonders und welche adaptiven Strategien entwickelten ihre Bewohner? Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, vergleichen wir die Umweltbedingungen und die archäologischen Befunde des LGM mit denen des frühen Gravettien, einer Zeit der kulturellen Blüte und vergleichsweise günstiger klimatischer Umstände. Wir verbinden archäologische Analysen (z.B. von lithischen und organischen Werkzeugen), osteoarchäologische Informationen sowie Daten zur Sedimentologie und Paläoumwelt (Geochemie, stabile Isotope, Mollusken, u.a.).

Abgeschlossene Projekte

ALPWÜRM: Umwelt- und Klimavariabilität während des Mittelwürms in den Nordalpen

DFG-Projekt, 2016 – 2019

Die letzte Kaltzeit, die im Alpenraum Würm-Glazial genannt wird, war in der Nordhemisphäre durch starke Klimaschankungen (Dansgaard-Oeschger-Zyklen, Heinrich-Ereignisse) geprägt. Außerhalb des Grönland-Eises und inbesondere im Alpenraum sind diese Schwankungen und deren Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt kaum dokumentiert. Im Projekt ALPWÜRM werden Änderungen der Vegetation, Fauna und Umweltbedingungen während des Mittelwürms an der inneralpinen Lokalität Nesseltalgraben bei Berchtesgaden (SO-Bayern) mit einem Multi-Proxy-Ansatz untersucht.

OXICLIM: Synthese von Sauerstoffisotopen-Proxies zur Klimarekonstruktion in Südpatagonien

BMBF/MINCyT-Projekt, 2016 – 2018, Mitantragsteller: Dr. J. Massaferro (Bariloche), Dr. A. Srur (Mendoza)

Die Synthese terrestrischer Klimaarchive in Patagonien ist der Fokus des Projektes. Langfristiges Ziel des argentinisch-deutschen Kooperationsprojektes ist der Vergleich von Klimarekonstruktionen auf der Basis von Sauerstoff-Isotopen-Proxies in Jahrringen der Südbuche und in Seesedimenten entlang eines hydrologischen Gradienten, der durch den Lee-Effekt der Anden verursacht wird.

Oxygen and carbon isotope compositions of chironomids and ostracods in Patagonia as tools for quantitative paleoclimate reconstructions

DFG-Projekt, 2013-2014, Mitantragsteller: Dr. C. Laprida (Buenos Aires), Dr. J. Massaferro (Bariloche)

Im Projekt wurde das Potential verschiedener Organismenreste, die häufig in Seesedimenten vorkommen, für die Klimarekonstruktion untersucht. Im Untersuchungsgebiet in Südpatagonien wurden Sauerstoff-Isotopenverhältnisse von Zuckmückenlarven-Köpfen, Ostracoden-Klappen und aquatischen Wasserpflanzen bezüglich ihrer Eignung als quantitative Umweltproxies getestet.

PASADO-Isotope: Qualitative environmental and climatic reconstruction for the last glacial-interglacial cycles in southern Patagonia – the stable isotope record of the ICDP site Laguna Potrok Aike

DFG-Projekt, 2009 – 2012, Mitantragsteller: A. Lücke (FZ-Jülich)

Im Projekt wurde das Klima während des letzten Glazial-Interglazial Zyklus für die mittleren Breiten der Südhemisphäre (52°S) rekonstruiert. Bohrungen im Maarsee Laguna Potrok Aike in der Trockensteppe Südpatagoniens (Argentinien) wurden im Rahmen des Internationalen Kontinentalen Bohrprogrammes (ICDP, http://www.icdp-online.org/front_content.php) durchgeführt. Die bis zu 100 m langen Sedimentkerne lieferten ein einzigartiges Archiv für Umwelt- und Klimavariationen in dieser Region. Die Sedimente wurden mit einem Multi-Proxy-Ansatz (Geochronologie, Palynologie, Diatomologie, Paläomagnetik, Geochemie, stabile Isotope) im Projekt PASADO (http://www.pasado.uni-bremen.de/) von einem internationalen Forscherteam untersucht.

Im Teilprojekt PASADO-Isotope wurde das sedimentäre organischen Material und die lakustrinen Karbonate geochemisch untersucht. Die organischen Kohlenstoff- und Stickstoffisotope gaben Einblicke in die lakustrine Primärproduktion und die Quellen organischen Materials. Die Sauerstoff- und Kohlenstoffisotope der Karbonate und der sedimentären Zellulose bildeten die hydrologischen Veränderungen in Südpatagonien ab. Die Ergebnisse ermöglichen Einblicke in zeitliche Veränderungen der Lage und der Intensität der südhemisphärischen Westwindzirkulation und damit in die Verteilung von Feuchte und Energie in der Südhemisphäre während der letzten ca. 50 000 Jahre.

Klimaveränderungen im Holozän und Spätglazial Neuseelands: Stabile Isotope lakustriner Sedimente des Lake Pupuke (Auckland-Vulkanfeld)

DFG-Projekt, 2007 – 2011, Mitantragsteller: Dr. A. Lücke (FZ-Jülich)

Im Rahmen des Projektes wurden die hydrologischen Veränderungen im Holozän der mittleren Breiten der Südhemisphäre mittels Sedimentkernen aus dem Kratersee Lake Pupuke auf der Nordinsel Neuseelands (Auckland) untersucht . Sauerstoffisotope der lakustrinen Zellulose und des biogenen sedimentären Opals lieferten Erkenntnisse über zeitliche Veränderungen der Wasserbilanz und der Wassertemperatur des Sees. Isotopenverhältnisse der organischen Substanz der Sedimente wurden genutzt, um Änderungen der lakustrinen Primärproduktion und der Stoffkreisläufe im Sees zu erfassen.
