First we describe the results of excavation in the prehistoric adits, and of work to locate and survey associated settlements. This is followed by a series of specialist reports embracing floral and faunal remains, palaeodiet and parasitology, leather and woodworking and other crafts. The evidence suggests that a complex inter-relationship existed between the Diirrnberg and other communities in the Alpine foreland. It is assumed that the Diirrnberg was under the control of an elite - perhaps a local dynasty whose wealth is reflected in the graves. INTRODUCTION The ancient salt-mining complex of the Diirrnberg is one of the most important archaeological sites of the European Iron Age. This fascinating site has long attracted scholars because of the outstanding survival of a range of archaeological material and flora and fauna, presenting a panoramic picture of the economic life of a complex society over a period of more than 500 years.1 Bad Diirrnberg is located near the small town of Hallein, situated south of Salzburg, in Austria. Geologically the region is part of the Northern Calcareous Alps. The Alpine salt deposits of the Diirrnberg (which have been the subject of new studies since 19962) are mostly Permian in age and represent precipitates laid down in a marine basin surrounded by alluvial fans and mudflats in a rift arm of the north-west Tethys Ocean (see figs 1, 2 and 3). Arid conditions are necessary for the development of such evaporites.3 In parts, these salt layers were forced upwards as a result of Late Jurassic tectonic movements during the early formation of the Alpine anticlines.4 As a result of this upward movement, Alpine salt deposits (known as Haselgebirge) now extend from the Tyrol in the west to the Viennese woods in the east. They consist of a mixture of 40 to 95 per cent sodium chloride (NaCl) together with clay and anhydrite or gypsum. The whole deposit is covered by a 20 to 40m layer of clay (basically leached-out Haselgebirge), which protects the salt deposits against further leaching by freshwater. On top of these malleable and movable salt deposits, and causing an even tectonic pressure on the salt, there are a number of calcareous outcrops, of which the most prominent is the Hahnrainkopf (1,026m: see fig 4). At the foot of the Hahnrainkopf, salt dissolved by water emerges in the form of brine springs, and these offered the prehistoric settlers of the region a clear indication that salt deposits lay beneath the surface.5 Many such springs are known in the Northern Calcareous Alps, but only in the Alpine Haselgebirge does the geology allow the underground salt to be mined.

  • The Archaeology of Mining, and Quarrying, for Salt and the Evaporites (Gypsum, Anhydrite, Potash and Celestine)
    The archaeology of mining, and quarrying, for Salt and the Evaporites (Gypsum, Anhydrite, Potash and Celestine) Test drafted by Peter Claughton Rock salt, or halite (NaCl- sodium chloride), has been mined since the late 17th century, having been discovered during exploratory shaft sinking for coal at Marbury near Northwich, Cheshire, in November 1670. Prior to that the brine springs of Cheshire and those at Droitwich in Worcestershire were the source of salt produced by evaporation, along with production from a large number of coastal sites using seawater. Alabaster, fine grained gypsum (CaSO4. 2H2O - hydrated calcium sulphate), has however been quarried in the East Midlands for use in sculpture since at least the 14th century (Cheetham 1984, 11-13) and the use of gypsum for making plaster dates from about the same period. Consumption The expansion of mining and quarrying for salt and the other evaporites came in the 19th century with the development of the chemical industry. Salt (sodium chloride) was a feedstock for the production of the chlorine used in many chemical processes and in the production of caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) and soda ash (sodium carbonate). Anhydrite (anhydrous calcium sulphate) was used in the production of sulphuric acid. Salt or halite (rock salt) was first mined at Winsford in Cheshire (the site of the only remaining active rock salt mine in England) in 1844. Production expanded in the late 19th century to feed the chemical industry in north Cheshire (together with increasing brine production from the Northwich salt fields). The Lancashire salt deposits, on the Wyre estuary at Fleetwood and Preesall, not discovered until 1872 whilst boring in search of haematite (Landless 1979, 38), were a key to the development of the chemical industry in that area.

National Archives and Records Administration Washington, DC 2003 INTRODUCTION On the 132 rolls of this microfilm publication, M1928, are reproduced reports on businesses with German affiliations and information on the organization and operations of the German External Assets Branch of the United States Element, Allied Commission for Austria (USACA) Section, 1945–1950. These records are part of the Records of United States Occupation Headquarters, World War II, Record Group (RG) 260. Background The U.S. Allied Commission for Austria (USACA) Section was responsible for civil affairs and military government administration in the American section (U.S. Zone) of occupied Austria, including the U.S. sector of Vienna. USACA Section constituted the U.S. Element of the Allied Commission for Austria. The four-power occupation administration was established by a U.S., British, French, and Soviet agreement signed July 4, 1945. It was organized concurrently with the establishment of Headquarters, United States Forces Austria (HQ USFA) on July 5, 1945, as a component of the U.S. Forces, European Theater (USFET). The single position of USFA Commanding General and U.S. High Commissioner for Austria was held by Gen. Mark Clark from July 5, 1945, to May 16, 1947, and by Lt. Gen. Geoffrey Keyes from May 17, 1947, to September 19, 1950. USACA Section was abolished following transfer of the U.S. occupation government from military to civilian authority.

Halite karst geohazards (natural and man-made) in the United Kingdom. Environmental Geology, Vol. 42, 505-512. This work is based on a paper presented to the 8th Multidisciplinary Conference on Sinkholes and the Engineering and Environmental impact of karst, Louisville, Kentucky, April 2001. In the United Kingdom Permian and Triassic halite (rock salt) deposits have been affected by natural and artificial dissolution producing karstic landforms and subsidence. Brine springs from the Triassic salt have been exploited since Roman times, or possibly earlier, indicating prolonged natural dissolution. Medieval salt extraction in England is indicated by the of place names ending in “wich” indicating brine spring exploitation at Northwich, Middlewich, Nantwich and Droitwich. Later, Victorian brine extraction in these areas accentuated salt karst development causing severe subsidence problems that remain a legacy. The salt was also mined, but the mines flooded and consequent brine extraction caused the workings to collapse, resulting in catastrophic surface subsidence. Legislation was enacted to pay for the damage and a levy is still charged for salt extraction. Some salt mines are still collapsing and the re-establishment of the post-brine extraction hydrogeological regimes means that salt springs may again flow causing further dissolution and potential collapse.
