The Bullenheimer Berg which is best known for its numerous hoards from the Urnfield period is representative of a system of Bronze Age and Urnfield hilltop settlements in Main-Franconia, Northern Bavaria. Fieldwork carried out in the 1980s had already yielded substantial information about the fortifications. Since 2010 archaeological surveys and excavations are undertaken on the Bullenheimer Berg by the University of Würzburg. The project is planned for a period of six years, and the scientific goals are to investigate the settlement organisation, the economy, the social organisation and possible religious functions of the hilltop settlement from a diachronic perspective. In the first four years of research excavations in four areas of the site have yielded detailed results which, however, remain partial. In the third funding period the current excavation areas will be extended. Based on the locations of individual buildings, the overall structure of the settlement units will be determined. Thereby, building structures, activity zones and find materials in the prehistoric settlement layer can be differentiated stratigraphically. In this way it is possible to discern occupation layers from the younger and the late Urnfield culture. The aim is, particularly, to investigate a presumed farmstead, a large edifice and a terraced building area of the Urnfield period. Alongside the excavations archaeozoological, archaeometric, pedological and environmental analyses are carried out. Archaeological prospection using magnetometer survey, drill testing and test excavations provide additional data on the occupation and use of the mountain plateau.

布伦海默贝格以其众多的恩菲尔德时期的窖藏而闻名，是巴伐利亚北方美因-弗兰肯的青铜时代和恩菲尔德山顶定居点的代表。1980年代进行的实地调查已经获得了有关防御工事的大量信息。自2010年以来，维尔茨堡大学对布伦海默贝格进行了考古调查和挖掘。该项目计划为期六年，科学目标是从历时的角度调查山顶定居点的定居组织，经济，社会组织和可能的宗教功能。在最初四年的研究中，在遗址的四个区域进行了挖掘，取得了详细的结果，但仍然是部分的。在第三个供资期内，目前的挖掘区域将扩大。根据各建筑物的位置，将确定定居单元的整体结构。从而对史前聚落层中的建筑结构、活动带和出土物进行了地层划分。通过这种方式，可以从较年轻和较晚的Urnfield文化中辨别出职业层。其目的是，特别是要调查一个假定的农庄，一个大的建筑物和一个梯田建筑面积的瓮田时期。除了挖掘，还进行了考古动物学，考古测量学，土壤学和环境分析。利用磁力计进行的考古勘探、钻探测试和试掘提供了关于占领和使用高原的更多数据。
