The mining district in the Montafon achieved in comparison to the major mining districts in the Eastern Alps, hardly no significance and remained so far from the research unnoticed. Only in the course of the new research on the prehistoric settlement and mining history, since 2002 mining archaeology and geoarchaeological and archaeobotanical data together with scientific dating have yielded a wealth of impressive results. Noteworthy are now numerous evidences of the mining activity in the High Middle Ages, the latest with the Pingenbergbau on the Kristberg mountain and on the Bartholomäberg from the 11/12th century AD. The extraordinary discoveries and findings from the period around 1300 from an excavation on the Kristberg mountain, refer impressively the importance of mining and the resulting induced prosperity, finally in the establishment of churches in Bartholomäberg and on the Kristberg.The new data since 2002 from mining sites of the mining district Montafon make it clear, that we constitute a jewel of the early mining history of the region and are far beyond only at the beginning of the exploration of the early history of mining in the Montafon and far beyond.A particular focus will be on further exploration of the different indications of prehistoric mining in the Bronze and Iron Ages, which were developed only in recent years. As part of the project application, new archaeological excavations in mining sites shall help to understand the development of these oldest traces of mining. This is an important task in order to reconstruct the economic background in addition to the subsistence and livestock for the prehistoric settlement chamber at Bartholomäberg.

在蒙塔丰的矿区相比，在东阿尔卑斯山的主要矿区取得的成就，几乎没有意义，仍然是迄今为止从研究忽视.仅在对史前定居和采矿历史的新研究过程中，自2002年以来，采矿考古、地质考古和考古植物学数据以及科学测年就取得了丰富的令人印象深刻的成果。值得注意的是，现在有许多证据表明中世纪盛期的采矿活动，最新的证据是公元11/12世纪在克里斯特贝格山和巴塞洛缪贝格的平根贝格建筑。从1300年左右的一次对克里斯特贝格山的挖掘中发现的非凡发现和发现，令人印象深刻地提到了采矿的重要性和由此产生的繁荣，最终在巴托洛梅贝格和克里斯特贝格建立了教堂。自2002年以来，蒙塔丰矿区的新数据清楚地表明，我们构成了该地区早期采矿历史的宝石，远远超出了蒙塔丰早期采矿历史的探索之初，并远远超出。特别关注将进一步探索青铜器和青铜器中史前采矿的不同迹象。铁器时代，这是最近几年才发展起来的。作为项目申请的一部分，在采矿地点进行新的考古发掘将有助于了解这些最古老的采矿痕迹的发展。这是一项重要的任务，以便重建巴托洛梅贝格史前定居点的经济背景以及生计和牲畜。
