This three-stage research project is dedicated to the reconstruction of settlement patterns and exploitation strategies of the Central German Uplands in the Bronze and Iron Age (about 2100 - 30 BC) on the basis of archaeological and geoarchaeological findings, using the catchment area of the river Weismain in the northern Franconian Jura as sample case. While the first project stage was committed to demonstrate the existence of Bronze and Iron Age settlements, and finding evidence of the economic use of the uplands, the second stage focuses on two previously documented areas with a detailed analysis of continuities and changes in settlement patterns and local land use over an extended time period.By combining methodologies of broad-scale archaeological excavation, targeted test trenches and the dating of a large number of excavated findings, the proposed second stage intents to provide information on settlement size and structure regarding the individual settlement phases. Samples from undisturbed soil profiles in the settlement environment shall provide information to chronostratigraphically understand the sediments displaced in the course of past land use and concomitant soil erosion. In order to quantify and better differentiate the activities within these settlements, and in their immediate vicinity, molecular-level analyzes using biomarkers will complement the proven methodology of macro and charcoal tests, as well as micromorphological soil analysis. It is expected that the detailed collection and analysis of this data will lead to new insights on subsistence farming, as well as landscape and vegetation changes, with the ultimate goal to develop a local land use model.The third stage of the project, the development of a large scale landscape evolution model by our research partner M. Fuchs from the Physical Geography Department of the University of Gießen, is already financed by a third-party.

该研究项目分三个阶段进行，以考古和地质考古发现为基础，以北方法兰克汝拉的魏斯曼河流域为样本，致力于重建青铜器和铁器时代（约公元前2100 - 30年）德意志中部高地的聚落形态和开发策略。项目第一阶段致力于展示青铜器和铁器时代定居点的存在，并寻找高地经济用途的证据，第二阶段侧重于两个先前记录的地区，详细分析长期以来定居模式和当地土地使用的连续性和变化。通过结合大规模考古发掘的方法，拟议的第二阶段旨在通过有针对性的测试沟槽和大量挖掘结果的年代测定，提供关于各个沉降阶段的沉降规模和结构的信息。从沉降环境中原状土壤剖面采集的样本应提供信息，以便从年代地层学角度了解过去土地使用过程中发生位移的沉积物和伴随的土壤侵蚀。为了量化和更好地区分这些定居点内及其附近的活动，使用生物标志物的分子一级分析将补充宏观和木炭测试以及微观形态土壤分析的成熟方法。通过对这些数据的详细收集和分析，我们将对自给农业、景观和植被变化等方面有新的认识，最终目标是建立一个当地的土地利用模型。项目的第三阶段是由我们的研究伙伴M.来自吉森大学自然地理系的Fuchs已经得到了第三方的资助。
