Although the river endangered riparian communities by recurring flooding, humans also exploited the natural habitats along the Danube as documented by numerous archaeological sites along the Austrian and the Hungarian part (river km 2135–1886 and 1796–1581). Excavations here uncovered refuse deposits containing fish remains and prove that fishing has substantially contributed to human nutrition since the Neolithic (Bökönyi <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">1974</xref>; Radu <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR70">2003</xref>; Bartosiewicz <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">2013</xref>).</p><p>The successful identification of many fish bones to species level is certainly based on the availability of reference collections. The investigations of such archaeological remains as proxy data address many societal and ecological questions. Cultural preferences influence various social levels as comparing monastic and aristocratic households or civil sites including latrines and waste disposal places (Galik <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">1999</xref>). Many factors weaken the signals of such proxies, for example their unknown taphonomic history, their inhomogeneity or the precision of recovery. Fish remains from sieved samples significantly differ from hand-collected samples, which yield only few but large specimens (Jones <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR48">1983</xref>; Bartosiewicz <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">1988</xref>; Cao et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">2002</xref>; Gobalet <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">2005</xref>; Zohar and Belmaker <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR83">2005</xref>; Chao et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">2009</xref>). Therefore, screening of sieved sediment samples is a precondition for the reliable recovery of fish remains, independent of diverse taphonomic potentials of preservation in various contexts. Especially latrines offer extraordinary conditions as cavities in which masses of material were concentrated during short time spans and excellent preservation conditions conserved even fragile and tiny fish bones (Heinrich <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">1995</xref>; Brombacher et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">1998</xref>; Nussbaumer and Rehazek <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR61">2007</xref>).</p><p>Ecological approaches usually relate to manmade faunal changes or impacts on ecosystems (Kurlansky <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR52">1999</xref>; Jackson et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR46">2001</xref>; Pitcher <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR67">2001</xref>) and, in the case of fishes, environmental pressure can be illustrated by the size patterns of reconstructed lengths of specific species (Jackson et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR46">2001</xref>). Nonetheless, information derived from archaeological proxy data cannot be simply transformed into measureable variables. Rather, according to Pauly (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR64">1995</xref>), they are more like “anecdotes”. According to Jackson et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR46">2001</xref>) “the precision and clarity of the signal they measure” appears to be somewhat unclear but a framework combining historical and archaeoichthyological data as proxies produces stronger signals on a long-term scale. Nevertheless, the finds along the Austrian and Hungarian part of the Danube clearly bear the potential to detect changes chronologically and at a regional scale in a riverine milieu providing new societal and environmental data beyond written documents (Haidvogl et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">2014</xref>). Using such information about past ecological conditions raises a crucial question related to the provenance of the fish. Especially for the later periods, it often remains uncertain if the archaeological fish remains originated from local waters or if they were traded from distant places. For continental sites such as the upper and middle Danube, this is easy to answer only in the case of marine fish.</p><p>The main objective of this paper is to test the capacity of such remains to contribute to reconstructing past fish ecological conditions. This involves (1) analysing the influence of recovery methods on the resulting species list, (2) investigating whether the relative abundance of fish species differs on large spatial and temporal scales, (3) identifying size distributions and (4) comparing the fish remains from the early modern period with written documents to reveal differences between two distinct types of proxy information.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2" sec-type="materials|methods"><title>Materials and methods</title><sec id="Sec3"><title>Provenance of the archaeological fish remains</title><p>The archaeoichthyological material comes from sites along the Danube in Austria and Hungary. The Austrian river section is characterized by alpine influences in terms of velocity and temperature. Downstream of Bratislava and Györ the character shifts towards a lowland river, also reflected by a change from a dominance of rheophilic and eurytopic to more limnophilic cyprinids (Schiemer et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR73">2004</xref>). The Austrian Roman, medieval and post medieval sites are concentrated in the Vienna Basin (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: 5–13), which showed—prior to the channelization in the 19th century—the typical pattern of an anastomosing river system. This basin was inhabited by diverse fish communities comprising about 52 native species including the sturgeon species (Schiemer and Waidbacher <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR72">1998</xref>; Spindler <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR76">1997</xref>). Austrian fish data include archaeological sites at tributaries, among them a post-medieval cesspit in Salzburg near the Salzach River associated with a tavern (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: 1). Ansfelden at the confluence of the Traun and Krems rivers documents a long history of settling activities starting in the Neolithic and terminating after early medieval times (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: 2). A late medieval monastic latrine filling in St. Pölten is located close to the Traisen River (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: 3). Another post-medieval site, the Carthusian monastery Mauerbach was situated at a brook of the same name; that brook was no doubt too small to sustain fish stocks large enough to supply a larger number of friars (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: 4). Foundations of the medieval castle Dunkelstein near the Schwarza River, which discharges into the Leitha River and finally ends in the Danube, also revealed fish remains (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: 14). In total, approximately 16,000 fish remains were recovered from the Austrian sites.<fig id="Fig1"><label>Fig. 1</label><caption><p>Map with the Austrian (<italic>1–14</italic>) and Hungarian sites (<italic>a–s</italic>) along the Danube and tributaries (line drawing Galik).

The long course is differentiated in an “upstream” and a “downstream” section. The upstream section of the Hungarian Danube begins at the eastern tip of the Szigetköz region. The sites Börcs-Paphomlok-dűlő (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: a), Győr-Szabadrét-domb (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: b) and Ménfőcsanak-Széles telep (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: c) are situated upstream the hilly Danube Bend gorge near Visegrád. The river flanked by floodplains becomes gradually restricted and offered space for sites in Ács-Vaspusztal (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: d), Neszmély-Tekeres (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: e), Süttő-Hosszúvölgy (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: f), Nyergesújfalu-Téglagyár (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: g), Esztergom-Királyi (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: h), Pilismarót-I. őrtorony (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: i) and finally several sites at Visegrád (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: j) and downstream at Vác (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: k).</p><p>The downstream section of the Danube starts after the southward turn. Sites of various chronological stages are at Békásmegyer (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: l) and Óbuda (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: m). The river flows to a plain near Budapest and becomes wider and less oxygenated because the floodplain area is significantly broader; numerous sites are located at Buda-Vár (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: n, o), in Budapest itself (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: p, q) and at Csepel-Háros (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: r). To date no archaeological fish bone assemblages are available from Hungary further downstream from the southernmost site Dunapentele (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>: s). The 52 Hungarian sites reviewed in this study provided approximately 2000 specimens.</p></sec><sec id="Sec4"><title>Identification and aggregation of data</title><p>The archaeoichthyological material was identified using ichthyo-osteological reference collections.

In order to identify the influence of the sampling effort on reconstructed fish species, we correlated the number of identified bones vs. the number of identified species.</p><p>The abundance of identified fish species is a descriptor of particular fish assemblages which indicate different ecological river types. Its reliability does largely depend on high numbers of skeletal remains within the archaeoichthyological samples. However, sample sizes are highly variable in the sites along the Danube, some providing numerous specimens and others only a few finds. Nevertheless, such comparisons can indicate certain ichthyological- (Lepiksaar <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR54">2001</xref>) and historical developments (Makowiecki <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR56">2000</xref>). Makowiecki (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR57">2003</xref>) thoroughly discussed the Polish lowland ichthyofauna based on the archaeological frequencies of species with regards to possible distortion arising from varying numbers of skeletal remains. The specific compositions of species in relation to climatic and chronological periodization including size reconstruction of fishes clearly produced pattern induced by the surrounding habitat of the sites from the Mesolithic towards the medieval period and the Modern Times (Makowiecki <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR57">2003</xref>). Therefore, the use of such a comparative technique promises to reconstruct ecosystem changes following the diachronic sequences along the Austrian and Hungarian parts of the Danube, although faunal peculiarities might be driven by local and regional developments as well.</p><p>Four main units were considered: prehistoric, Roman, medieval, late/post-medieval. The medieval period covers a few finds from the early 9th century, while the major part represents the high medieval era up to the 13th century. The late/post-medieval sequence summarizes the late medieval epoch, with remains from the 14th/15th centuries and Early Modern Times with finds from the 16th/17th centuries. Sites along the Danube in the Vienna Basin were combined as one study site, and sites along different tributaries were evaluated as a second spatial unit in Austria. In Hungary two main units—the “upstream” section towards Vác and the “downstream section” downstream the bend gorge—were used based on the definition of hydro-morphological units for the Joint Danube Survey (Sommerhäuser et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR75">2003</xref>). Identified cyprinids were compiled according to their degree of rheophily (Noble et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR60">2007</xref>).</p><p>Finally, the archaeological fish assemblages were compared with two types of written historical sources. For Austria, we used a description of fish species offered for sale at the Viennese fish market in 1540 (Schmelzl <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR74">1547</xref>; Tab. 1) and for Hungary we took into account the cookbooks from Galgóczi in 1622 (Herman <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">1887</xref>; Tab. 1). Such descriptions for an urban market and for human consumption are subject to societal filters that differ from those of archaeological fish remains. Importantly, they are not affected by taphonomic processes.</p></sec></sec><sec id="Sec5" sec-type="results"><title>Results</title><sec id="Sec6"><title>Sampling effort</title><p>Evaluation of hand-collected and sieved sediment samples supported the conclusion that sampling effort, i.e. number of bones collected and identified, influences the species richness, although outliers exist (Fig. <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>).

The Roman latrine did not produce high quantities of specimens or species, whereas the carefully hand-collected Roman sites in the Vienna Basin (Carnuntum) exposed a high diversity of species but a low number of identified specimens. The sieved sediment samples from tributaries at Ansfelden and at the castle Dunkelstein yielded fish remains with a lower species number. Most hand-collected Austrian and Hungarian sites clearly indicated low frequencies of species and specimens.

sec-type="discussion"><title>Discussion</title><p>Archaeological fish remains produce distorted pictures that are biased by taphonomic history, beginning with fishing, trade and consumption and ending with preservation. Beyond methodological factors such as the expertise or the method of recovery, which massively influence the richness of species by “sampling” efforts, the state of preservation and inconsistent quantities of identifiable bones impedes chronological and contextual comparisons. The proxies provide a reliable signal at least for the regularly hand-collected large fish species, bearing in mind that limited material may reflect regional—rather than diachronic variations.</p><p>However, as a recurring nutritive resource, large migratory sturgeons were targeted from prehistoric times on at the Hungarian part of the Danube. The first Austrian sturgeon remains date to the Roman period, while the prehistoric site Ansfelden is located outside their natural migration routes and no evidence of prehistoric sturgeon exploitation has been proven to date along Austria’s Danube. Besides the archaeologically evidenced sterlet and beluga sturgeon, a higher variety of sturgeon species is expectable (Schmelzl <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR74">1547</xref>; Zauner <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR81">1997</xref>). The Austrian Danube offered good sturgeon fishing grounds (Balon <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">1968</xref>) and, since medieval times, sturgeon fishing intensified (Bartosiewicz and Bonsall <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">2008</xref>). As opposed to Hungary, the assumption is that sturgeon populations in Austria already declined in Early Modern times, which may explain their disappearance from fishing regulations in the 16th century (Haidvogl et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">2013</xref>). Especially the economically and symbolically important beluga sturgeons were continuously delivered from Hungary to the Viennese fish market (Reischl <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR71">1921/1922</xref>) and even transported to sites at small Danube tributaries (Galik and Kunst <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">2000</xref>). As indicated by archaeoichthyological remains excessive fishing finally reduced the size and abundance of long-distance migratory sturgeons along the Hungarian part as well (Balon <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">1968</xref>; Bartosiewicz et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">2008</xref>; Guti <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">2008</xref>).</p><p>The remains from the Roman latrine in the Vienna Basin indicate another pattern as the late/post-medieval latrine fillings. The Roman site reveals the use of only a few small sized fishes although the sediment was carefully sieved. Even smaller sizes and intensified exploitation of juvenile cyprinids and other small species indicate changes in fisheries in the late/post-medieval times in Austria. Historical records refer to these environmental impacts, in particular fishing laws such as introduced by Albrecht V in 1412 for the Austrian part of the Danube (Uhlirz <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR77">1900</xref>). They prohibited the use of specific nets to protect purposefully juvenile individuals of larger species as well as other small fishes. Although not present in Hungarian sites, small species such as bullhead, loaches as well as lamprey represented popular delicacies as indicated by Galgóczi’s (1622) cookbook. Comparable other sites with latrines in Switzerland and Germany probably raise this phenomenon on specific exploitation of small and young fish to Central European behaviour at this specific period (Heinrich <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">1995</xref>; Brombacher et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">1998</xref>; Hüster-Plogmann <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR45">2006</xref>; Nussbaumer and Rehazek <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR61">2007</xref>).</p><p>Common carp and other cyprinids and pike are abundant and important fish in Austria and Hungary and probably mirror an increase of fishing intensity towards the medieval- but a decrease of specimens towards the late/post-medieval periods. The Austrian common carp remains reflect human impact at the ecosystem, too. Comparable to Hungarian Neolithic exploitation (Bartosiewicz <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">2013</xref>) the Austrian Roman contexts demonstrate exploitation of the Danube’s wild carp populations, revealing a wide range of individual size. Common carp was stocked in ponds since the early medieval period (Hoffmann <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">1994</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR41">1995</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR42">1996</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR43">2005</xref>; Balon <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">1995</xref>) and massively reared in the High Middle Ages. The estimated number of man-made Hungarian fishponds ranges from 3000 to 4000 from the 11th to the 13th century (Pesty <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR65">1867</xref>). Loads of harvested reared common carps of similar size and weight suggest a compensation of declining natural wild carp stocks; this is underlined by the “size standardization” at about 40 cm individual lengths in medieval and late/post-medieval contexts. Schmelzl (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR74">1547</xref>) differentiates between certain forms of common carp “<italic>Karpfen, Seekarpfen</italic>” and “<italic>Theißkarpfen”</italic> most probably from the Tisza River. Besides these forms, Bohemian reared common carp was transported to the Viennese fish market as well (Wacha <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR79">1956</xref>).</p><p>The documentation of assumed ecological differences and changing fish communities between the Austrian and the Hungarian part of the Danube is hampered by the aforementioned methodological insufficiencies and is restricted to mainly larger eurytopic species. Even such hand-collected and large fish remains indicate that species such as sturgeon, common carp or pike had been transported to remote sites at Austria’s Danube tributaries, outside their natural habitat. At a finer level, the sieved samples reveal a correspondence of species composition and Danube habitats in the Vienna Basin and the tributary sites. The conspicuous absence of trout in early medieval Ansfelden might be explained as a pattern of Slavic people’s preference for cyprinids, whereby potential taphonomic conditions or environmental changes may also have played a role. Typical species in the samples such as schraetzer and ruffe indicate exploitation of local Danube fish in the Vienna Basin (Zauner <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR80">1996</xref>). A good representation of large remains of pikeperch is expected because they are more easily recognisable even by hand collection. They accumulated in Roman time but prove to be sporadic in later periods. Such a pattern indicated by these archaeoichthyological remains may relate to environmental changes as pikeperch requires aerated waters. Even subtle shifts in temperature or velocity (Bartosiewicz and Bonsall <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">2004</xref>) impact the post-Roman Danube habitats in Austria and Hungary, although without historical habitat information this assumption is difficult to prove. Nevertheless Galgóczi’s (1622) cookbook mentions only a single pikeperch recipe, at least pointing to a lesser culinary interest in the 17th century. The absence of grayling and salmonids in the Hungarian part of the Danube might be argued by temperature thresholds and fewer suitable habitats and these species occurred mainly at sites along the Danube tributaries even in Austria. Nevertheless, the Hungarian cookbook comprises numerous “salmonid”-recipes, indicating a 17th century supply of these species from cold-water tributaries or, more likely, fish trade. Austrian historical sources reveal brown trout and alpine charr as fresh deliveries to the Viennese fish market in the 16th century (Wacha <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR79">1956</xref>). Based on our samples the absence of burbot in Hungary is contradicted by ten recipes in the cookbook, underlining the popularity of this fish in Hungarian gastronomy.</p><p>Imported and preserved marine fish certainly reflect a demand for Mediterranean cuisine and life style in land-locked Central Europe in Roman times (Hüster-Plogmann <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR44">2002</xref>; Galik <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">2004</xref>; Van Neer and Ervynck <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR78">2004</xref>; Hüster-Plogmann <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR45">2006</xref>; Galik et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">2009</xref>). Most of the imported fish was certainly of Mediterranean origin, but a Roman pit filling in Vienna at the “<italic>Freyung</italic>” yielded, beyond few Atlantic chub mackerel remains, vertebrae resembling small-sized herring and strongly indicating the import of Atlantic fishes. The late medieval eel remains may represent preserved and transported fish as well, but historical records show that eel migrated towards two Austrian regions. The first was the Lainsitz in Lower Austria, where eel entered from the Elbe-system. The second was Lake Constance via the Rhine River (Spindler <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR76">1997</xref>). Nonetheless, the massive medieval and post-medieval import of marine fish (Lampen <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR53">2000</xref>; Locker <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR55">2001</xref>)—even to deep inland areas (Zeiringer <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR82">1991</xref>) associated with increasing fish farming—suggests a compensation for an under-supply of resources with cheap salted fish as mentioned in the “Fisch Preis Taxe in Eger” in 1465 (Abel <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1980</xref>). Although there is no archaeological evidence for such fish remains in Hungary, several recipes were prepared using marine fish in the incomplete manuscript of Fay’s Hungarian cookbook from the 17th century (Herman <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">1887</xref>).</p><p>Concluding, our investigations demonstrated the potential of using fish remains and written historical records for reconstructing long-term changes of the Danube´s fish communities but also certain limitations as well as the dependence from the methodological approaches e.g. of sampling. Although only proxy data are involved, the species found and the frequency of bones clearly indicate the relation between the fish community and human interaction and impact on the Danube’s environment. Our results strongly encourage improvement and standardization of archaeological recovery methods and routine screening for fish remains. Such data can provide historical investigations at finer chronological and geographical resolutions along the various riverine habitats of the Danube. They have the potential to enlighten even local changes in ecology and fish population. The incorporation of new and well established bio-molecular methods with still rising potential and reliability such as analyses of stable isotopes (Barrett et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">2004</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">2011</xref>; Orton et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR63">2011</xref>; Fuller et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">2012</xref>) and aDNA (Hlinka et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">2002</xref>; Arndt et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2003</xref>) can improve the identification of fish species and elicit the provenance of traded fish. Most promising for the future will be the combination of methods such as morphology, osteometry, isotopes and aDNA (Ólafsdóttir et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR62">2014</xref>) even for the development of fresh water fish populations along the Danube.</p></sec></body><back><fn-group><fn><p>This article is part of the special issue ‘Historical ecology of riverine fish in Europe’.</p></fn></fn-group><ack><p>We sincerely thank all colleagues who provided us with the abundant fish bones and further information that formed the basis of this study.
