Description
actuellement disponible uniquement en langue anglaise
The site was discovered in the 1940’s in the course of commercial peat harvesting in the area. In 1982, the Baden-Württemberg Department of Antiquities and Monuments began the first scientific examination of the site, which was followed by core sample drilling and selected small-area excavations, between 2002 and 2011. So far, three settlement phases were discovered, and thanks to the remarkably well preserved horizon of the “Goldberg III-Group”, with remnants of wooden homes, tools and utensils, the site is a model representation of a typical Neolithic settlement in an Upper-Swabian bogland.
