The generalized sequence of the Vils River floodplain is built of five units representing facies of different genesis (rock/saprolite, gravel, sand, loam, peat) that are identified by physical, chemical, and mineralogical parameters (grain size, clast shape, and content, TOC, bulk mineralogy). Along the 87 km length of the valley, different units/facies are found at the Upper Vils River (UVR 1-5) and at the Lower Vils River (LVR 1-4b). In both river sections, fine-grained material (flood loam) forms the major part (up to 4 m) of the alluvial sequence. 29 age determinations (24 14C, 4 IRSL, 1 tree-ring analysis) show increasing accumulation of flood loam in the last millennium. The data correlate with the beginning of mining at the Vils River and hence suggest a causal connection with mining activities in the catchment—both on the slopes and in the floodplain—with intense deposition of flood loams.

T2 - Journal of geomorphology : journal of basic and applied geomorphology N2 - Slot pits are uniquely shaped pits linked to prehistoric settlements in Central Europe, some dating back to the Mesolithic. They are typically long, deep, and narrow, yet their exact function remains unclear despite extensive research. This study aims to synthesize previous archaeological and pedological findings regarding slot pits and refine hypotheses about their function and age. Samples were collected from slot pits, other pit types, and surrounding loess at an excavation site in Straubing-Lerchenhaid, Bavaria, covering periods from the Linear Pottery Culture to the Iron Age. Pedological analysis indicated that the slot pits were not filled with material from nearby chernozemic horizons, and that no measured element was enriched in slot pits but not other pit types. Radiometric dating of bulk sediment samples, charcoal and animal remains, suggested ages ranging from the End Mesolithic to the End Neolithic. Although biomarker analyses showed traces of human faeces, they were not significant enough to suggest that the pits were primarily used as latrines, which was supported by the lack of elevated phosphorus levels in pit samples. A combination of these findings leads to the hypothesis that slot pits may have been utilized in the fat tanning process.
