Her work focused on the Neolithic and Bronze Age cultures of Old Europe. She was born in 1921 in Vilnius, Lithuania. At the University of Vilnius she studied archaeology, linguistics, ethnology, folklore and literature and received her MA in 1942. In 1946 she earned a PhD in archaeology at Tübingen University in Germany for her dissertation on prehistoric burial rites in Lithuania. In 1949 Gimbutas moved to the United States. She worked for Harvard University at the Peabody Museum from 1950-1963 and was made a Fellow of the Peabody in 1955. Her work included translating archeological reports from Eastern Europe, and her research focused on European prehistory. In 1963 Gimbutas became a professor at the University of California in Los Angeles in the European archeology department. Gimbutas is best known for her research into the Neolithic and Bronze Age cultures of "Old Europe," a term she introduced. Old Europe referred to both the geographical area and social structures that existed before the Indo-European influence, as reflected in her work on the cross-disciplines of archaeological artifacts, linguistics, ethnography, and folklore. This led her to posit the thesis that the European prehistoric culture was female-centered and worshiped a Mother Goddess as giver of all life. Gimbutas conceptualized an interdisciplinary approach to scholarship that she named "archaeomythology" in order to describe her research methodology, which bridged archeology, linguistics, and folklore with mythology and symbolic studies. Her most well known books include Goddesses and Gods of Old Europe (1974), The Language of the Goddess (1989), and The Civilization of the Goddess (1991). See the Opus Archives and Research Center website for a bibliography of Gimbutas’ works. Scope and Content Note The collection includes Marija Gimbutas’ papers and her personal library. Her papers focus on her professional life during the years she lived in California and taught at UCLA, and cover her teaching and research through extensive lecture notes, extensive research notes, photographs, slides and maps, manuscripts for articles and books, articles and reprints, and figurines from her personal collection. Her intensive research on European prehistory are evident in her research files on the European Neolithic cultures and symbols of Old Europe including: Ancient Symbolism in Lithuanian Folk Art, Slavic Religion, Religion of Old Europe, Lengyel & East Balkan, Cucuteni, Linear Pottery Culture, Çatal Hüyük (Anotolia, Turkey) and the work of James Mellaart, Culture Studies of Tisza, Achilleion Site (includes excavation notes, photocopies of articles, illustrations, and Scaloria Cave Site (includes information on shells, excavation notes). The research files also include proofs and drafts for The Living Goddesses , edited by Miriam Robbins Dexter and published posthumously, and illustration materials that include original illustrations and page proofs for Bronze Age Cultures, Language of the Goddess , and Civilization of the Goddess. Gimbutas’ index cards of bibliographic citations, organized under subject, form a significant part of her research notes. The visual materials in the Gimbutas collection contain over 12,000 slides, illustration materials for her books on prehistoric sacred figures, archeological and historical maps, charts, and blueprints. A selection of artifacts comprise an aspect of the collection and includes pottery shards and samples from archeological sites, replicas of Goddess figurines, mementos from Lithuania and commemorative medals. Gimbutas' personal library of over 1,500 volumes includes an extensive collection on archaeology, as well as numerous volumes about religion, anthropology, linguistics, mythology, folklore, and art.

Marija Gimbutas described the culture of the steppe tribes or in her words the ‘Kurgan people’ as follows: ‘they have a herders' economy with rudimentary agriculture, coarse pottery with cord impressions and sun motifs, domestication of horses, warfare, metal weapons, worship of masculine sky gods, a patrilineal social system, and finally elite graves of important men’.1 These graves she called ‘kurgans; the Russian word for ‘grave in a hill’ is kurgan (they use another word for a ‘hill’); these burial mounds form ‘hills’ in the landscape.

    Connected Histories: the Dynamics of Bronze Age Interaction and Trade 1500–1100 BC

    Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society 81, 2015, pp. 361–392 © The Prehistoric Society doi:10.1017/ppr.2015.17 Connected Histories: the Dynamics of Bronze Age Interaction and Trade 1500–1100 BC By KRISTIAN KRISTIANSEN1 and PAULINA SUCHOWSKA-DUCKE2 The Bronze Age was the first epoch in which societies became irreversibly linked in their co-dependence on ores and metallurgical skills that were unevenly distributed in geographical space. Access to these critical resources was secured not only via long-distance physical trade routes, making use of landscape features such as river networks, as well as built roads, but also by creating immaterial social networks, consisting of interpersonal relations and diplomatic alliances, established and maintained through the exchange of extraordinary objects (gifts). In this article, we reason about Bronze Age communication networks and apply the results of use-wear analysis to create robust indicators of the rise and fall of political and commercial networks. In conclusion, we discuss some of the historical forces behind the phenomena and processes observable in the archaeological record of the Bronze Age in Europe and beyond.

    Neolithic Farmers in Poland - a Study of Stable Isotopes in Human Bones and Teeth from Kichary Nowe in the South of Poland

    Neolithic farmers in Poland - A study of stable isotopes in human bones and teeth from Kichary Nowe in the south of Poland Master thesis in archaeological science Archaeological Research Laboratory Stockholm University Supervisors: Kerstin Lidén and Gunilla Eriksson Author: Staffan Lundmark Cover photo: Mandible from the Kichary Nowe site, photo taken by the author Abstract: The diet of the Stone Age cultures is a strong indicator to the social group, thus farmers and hunters can be distinguished through their diet. There is well-preserved and well excavated Polish skeletal material available for such a study but the material has not previously been subject to stable isotopes analyses and therefore the questions of diets has not been answered. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of the cultures in the Kichary Nowe 2 area in the Lesser Poland district in southern Poland. Through analysis of the stable isotopes of Carbon, Nitrogen and Sulphur in the collagen of teeth and skeletal bones from the humans in the Kichary Nowe 2 grave-field and from bones from the fauna, coeval and from the same area, the study will establish whether there were any sharp changes of diets. The material from the grave-field comes from cultures with an established agricultural economy, where their cultural belonging has been anticipated from the burial context. The results from my study of stable isotopes from the bone material will be grouped by various parameters, culture, attribution to sex and age. The groups will then be compared to each other to investigate patterns within and between the groups.
  • In Pursuit of the Goddess

    In Pursuit of the Goddess

    In pursuit of the goddess How one woman defied the odds to restore the feminist principle Rita Repsiene 19 April 2010 Controversial in her day and not without opponents even now, she became a feminist icon and a hero of the post-religious twenty-first century. Lithuanian- American archeologist Marija Gimbutas (Lithuanian: Gimbutiene) revolutionized ideas of "Old Europe" and reinstated the Great Goddess in her rightful place before the onslaught of the Indo-European male ascendancy dethroned her and left women mere consorts and companions. Marija Gimbutas was the luckiest of scholars. She was the only twentieth-century scholar to have discovered and described an entire, unrecognized civilization. Vytautas Kavolis Most important, let us not cut off the bonds with the spiritual past of our nation. Marija Gimbutas One of the most renowned US archaeologists, Lithuanian-born Marija Alseikaite- Gimbutas (1921-94), created her own myth of extraordinariness. Like the goddess of light she describes in her work, she is acclaimed, respected, even adored. [1] Having opened the door to the archaeological past of “Old Europe”, she built a unique methodology for which she coined the term archaeomythological. She explored Baltic mythology in depth and, having revealed the merits of the matricentric – what she called “matristic” – culture became an icon of feminist ideology. In 1991, she received the Anisfield-Wolf prize for her book The Civilization of the Goddess: The World of Old Europe published in that year. The prize has been awarded in the United States since 1935 for the most outstanding research in the history of world culture.

    Ann. Naturhist. Mus. Wien, Serie A 120 453–470 Wien, 15 Jan. 2018 Flutes of the first European farmers Beate-Maria POMBERGER1, Nadezhda KOTOVA2 & Peter STADLER3 (with 8 figures and 3 tables) Manuscript submitted on June 22nd 2017, the revised manuscript on September 9th 2017. Abstract During the 6th millennium BC new cultures developed though new subsistence strategies like farming and cattle breeding – combined with sedentariness, new types of houses, new tools and vessels made of burnt clay. Musical instruments created after own imaginations were formed from clay. Fragments of six possible vessel flutes were discovered in Brunn am Gebirge/locality Wolfholz in site 2 and 3, which date 5670–5350 calBC respectively 5300–5250 calBC. Their shapes are cylindrical and subconical. On the front side, they show three finger holes, on the backside one. Reconstruction with suitable mouth pieces allow five tunes in the fourth and fifth octave with sound levels between 74–93 db. The ranges were calculated until maximal 62 m at surroundings sound level in the free field of 42 dB. Similar objects, interpreted as idols, were found in the Late Starčevo site of Gellénháza, Hungary, in Ovcharovo-gorata and Hotnitsa in Bul- garia. One ball shaped ocarina derives from Mramor in Makedonia. Longbones of birds were still used in creating musical instruments as the small bone whistle from Sesklo, Greece, Middle Ses- klo culture proves. Another fragment of a pipe with a finger hole was unearthed in Anzabegovo, Macedonia. The oldest pan pipe belonged to the grave good of a rich man’s burial in Mariupol, Ukraine, from the Lower Don culture.
