The Neolithic circular enclosure at Ippesheim (Bavaria) has been representatively investigated by the applicant during four campaigns as student training excavations and with minimal budget in 1998-2004. The spectacular results, as the orientation of two causewayed gates towards prominent landmarks during the sunrise at summer and winter solstices respectively, as well as a unique vertical burial in a shaft-like pit have been published in several preliminary scientific and popular articles, the final and extensive publication of finds and features, however, is still missing. In the course of the completed DFG project "Gebautes Wissen" (Constructed Knowledge), focussing on the circular enclosures at Hopferstadt (Bavaria) and Quedlinburg (Saxony-Anhalt), new insights concerning the conception, realisation, use life and intentional/ritualised backfill process of these henge-like monuments have been gained. In the light of these new results we aim at analysing the building and backfill processes at Ippesheim in terms of stratigrapy and taphonomy and to date them at high resolution using Bayesian calibration models. A comparison with the already analysed enclosures, especially the one at Hopferstadt which is situated at only 10 km distance and appears as a successor , will provide a new understanding of the Ippesheim enclosure in particular, but also of the circular enclosure phenomenon in general.The vertical shaft burial of a female torso will be sampled according to the state of art in bioarchaeology (aDNA, stable isotopes, radiocarbon) as well as described and interpreted anthropologically. The burial which survived only partially due to soil erosion not only suggests a symbolic relation with the enclosure (possibly its abandonment), but also represents one of the few excavated human remains of the early 5th millennium in Northern Bavaria.

在1998-2004年，申请人在作为学生培训挖掘的四次活动中，以最小的预算，对伊佩斯海姆（巴伐利亚）的新石器时代圆形围栏进行了代表性调查。壮观的结果，作为两个堤道门的方向对突出的地标在日出分别在夏至和冬至，以及一个独特的垂直埋葬在一个竖井状坑已发表在几个初步的科学和流行的文章，最终和广泛的出版物的发现和功能，但是，仍然失踪。在完成DFG项目“Gebautes Wissen”（建构知识）的过程中，重点关注Hopferstadt（巴伐利亚州）和Quedlinburg（萨克森-安哈尔特州）的圆形围栏，获得了关于这些圆形纪念碑的概念，实现，使用寿命和故意/仪式化回填过程的新见解。根据这些新的结果，我们的目标是在分析建设和回填过程中在Ippesheim地层学和埋藏学，并在高分辨率使用贝叶斯校准模型，以日期。与已经分析过的围栏进行比较，特别是位于霍普施塔特的围栏，它距离伊普斯海姆仅10公里，似乎是继任者，将提供对伊普斯海姆围栏的新认识，也将提供对一般圆形围栏现象的新认识。女性躯干的竖井埋葬将根据生物考古学的最新技术水平进行采样（aDNA，稳定同位素，放射性碳）以及人类学的描述和解释。由于土壤侵蚀而部分幸存下来的墓葬不仅表明了与围栏（可能是废弃的）的象征关系，而且也是巴伐利亚北方少数几个5世纪初出土的人类遗骸之一。
