Megaliths and Settlement Structures in Eastern Holstein during 3500-3700 BC: Trave Valley and Oldenburger Graben

该项目的目标是重建位于Funnelbeaker北部群南部分布区域的两个微区域的新石器时代早期和中期的定居点和坟墓景观。根据相关研究文献，在多种实地活动的帮助下，我们能够在2009年至2012年的前两个项目阶段从中部特拉韦山谷（Mittleres Travetal）和西部奥登堡地堑（Westlicher Oldenburg地堑）的小区域收集相关数据。目前正在分析提取的样本。特别是，在复杂定居点和多阶段巨石墓区域的调查为确定漏斗杯组织策略提供了新的可能性。在这种背景下，Oldenburg-Dannau LA 77的新石器时代定居点具有房屋地板面积，井和Wangels LA 69巨石墓中的许多现有的就地埋葬特别有趣。后者使有关定居点、巨石墓和景观之间关系的命题成为可能。例如，可以通过住区地点的密度来验证不同的策略。2013-2015年项目最后阶段的重点将放在分析从Oldesloe-Wolkenwehe LA 154和Oldenburg-Dannau LA 77定居点以及Wangels LA 69巨石墓获得的数据上。新石器时代的空间利用分析将通过对微区进行环境对比评价和古生态考察来进行。在这些调查的基础上，新石器时代组织策略的模型可以根据漏斗杯文化的分布区域和进一步的新石器时代文化现象来发展和解释。

The goal of this project is to reconstruct an Early and Middle Neolithic settlement and grave landscape situated in two micro-regions in the southern distribution area of the Funnelbeaker northern group. In light of relevant research literature and with the aid of diverse field activities, we were able to collect relevant data from the small areas of the Middle Trave Valley (Mittleres Travetal) and the Western Oldenburg Graben (Westlicher Oldenburger Graben) during the first two project phases from 2009–2012. Extracted samples are currently being analysed. In particular, investigations in the area of a complex settlement and a multi-phased megalithic tomb offer new possibilities to identify Funnelbeaker organizational strategies. In this context, the Neolithic settlement of Oldenburg-Dannau LA 77 with house floor areas, wells, and a number of existing in situ interments in the megalithic tomb of Wangels LA 69 are of particular interest. The latter enable propositions concerning the relationship between settlements, megalithic tombs, and the landscape. Divergent strategies can be verified, for example, by the density of the settlement locations. The main emphasis of the last project phase from 2013–2015 will be placed on the analysis of the obtained data from the settlements of Oldesloe-Wolkenwehe LA 154 and Oldenburg-Dannau LA 77 as well as from the megalithic tomb of Wangels LA 69. An analysis of spatial use during the Neolithic will be carried out through the implementation of comparative environmental evaluations and paleoecological examinations from the micro-regions. On the basis of these investigations, models of Neolithic organizational strategies can be developed and interpreted with respect to the distribution area of the Funnelbeaker culture and further Neolithic cultural phenomenon.
