Beskrivelse
From 1963-70 and in 2016 some 2.6 ha of a Linear Pottery settlement were excavated. It was situated on a Loess ridge parallel to the River Rase, a western tributary of the River Leine, easterly adjacent to the Leine flood plain. This volume presents the entire evidence of features and finds for comparison with other sites. It focuses on pottery analysis and the classification and chronological order of the 54 houses excavated. These were attributed to certain types of construction and ground plan and brought into chronological order by means of construction characteristics and pottery finds. At the same time, the development of pottery was linked to the development of ground plans of buildings. The focus of occupation lay on Stage II or the Flomborn Phase, while Stage III was represented by a few features and finds only, and the settlement was finally deserted at the beginning of Stage IV - at least in the area excavated. Additionally, features of a possibly cultic or ritual nature in house contexts are discussed. Other topics are the settlement structure and social structure. Knapped and polished stone tools, querns, and organic remains are published here, too.
