Lauchheim-Wasserfurche with more than 1300 burial represents the largest excavated row grave cemetery in Southwest Germany still today. In combination with ca. 80 graves within the settlement Mittelhofen and the already analysed settlement itself, it offers the unique opportunity to reconstruct an early medieval local society. Such an extensive and detailed local study has not been achieved yet. Archaeologically, the already completed and extensive documentation of the row grave cemetery, including the common recording of finds and features, complemented by textile archaeology and many computer tomography data, will be analysed, and complemented by the manageable number of finds and features from the farm stead burials. Both will be linked up with the finished settlement study and interim reports of the row grave cemetery already made. Anthropologically, the finalised documentation of sex, age and pathologies of both burial places will be analysed in detail, supplemented by an archaeozoological study.The aim of the project is the final and comprehensive interpretation of this unique source material, following specific research questions. The project data base of the row grave cemetery, including all information, represents the central starting point - in order to develop and evaluate complex interpretations by network and GIS analysis. They will include directly the farm stead burials as well as the connected settlement features. By an open space concept, different ranges, levels and contexts shall be detected, leading to a more manifold and - by differentiation into several phases - a more dynamic reconstruction than made before. Beyond Lauchheim it has to be analysed and evaluated, to what extent the developed model of an early medieval local society can be transferred to other places and regions. With this proposal, the research and the projects on early medieval Lauchheim, undertaken during the last 30 years, will be finished.This proposal is combined with three further projects. They deal with craftmanship and inner structures of early medieval settlements in Alamannia (Valerie Schoenenberg), with the archaeology of early medieval manorial systems (Thomas Meier) and with local priests and church organisation in the Southwest (Steffen Patzold). The combination of some empirical studies and different records will offer new insights. Together we want to formulate an empirically saturated and theoretically well-grounded model of early medieval local societies in Alamannia, based on the current state of research in historiography and archaeology.

劳赫海姆-瓦瑟福什墓地有1300多个墓穴，是德国西南部至今仍在挖掘的最大的一排墓地。结合Mittelhofen定居点内约80个坟墓和已经分析过的定居点本身，它提供了重建中世纪早期地方社会的独特机会。如此广泛和详细的地方性研究还没有实现。在考古方面，将对已完成的关于排墓墓地的大量文件进行分析，并辅之以纺织考古和许多计算机断层扫描数据，包括共同记录发现和特征，并以农场遗址埋葬的可管理数量的发现和特征补充。这两项研究都将与已完成的定居点研究和已提交的排墓中期报告联系起来。人类学方面，将详细分析这两个墓地的性别、年龄和病理的最终记录，并辅之以考古学研究。该项目的目的是在具体的研究问题之后，对这一独特的原始材料进行最终和全面的解释。排墓园的项目数据库，包括所有信息，代表着中心起点--以便通过网络和地理信息系统分析来开发和评估复杂的解释。它们将直接包括农场墓地以及相关的聚落特征。通过开放空间的概念，不同的范围、水平和背景将被检测到，从而导致更多的内容，并通过分成几个阶段--比以前更具活力的重建。除了劳赫海姆之外，还必须分析和评估早期中世纪地方社会的发达模式在多大程度上可以转移到其他地方和地区。有了这个建议，在过去30年中进行的关于中世纪早期劳赫海姆的研究和项目将完成。这个建议与另外三个项目相结合。他们涉及阿拉曼尼亚早期中世纪定居点的手工艺和内部结构(Valerie Schoenberg)，中世纪早期庄园系统的考古(Thomas Meier)，以及西南部的当地牧师和教会组织(Steffen Patzold)。一些实证研究和不同记录的结合将提供新的见解。我们希望根据历史学和考古学的研究现状，共同制定阿拉曼尼亚早期中世纪地方社会的经验饱和和理论上有充分依据的模型。
