Eythra, distr. Leipzig: A Linear and Stroke-ornamented Pottery Settlement and Its Key to the Understanding of the Early Neolithic Development in Central Germany

在Eythra，distr.莱比锡是中欧最大的LBK和SBK（公元前5500 - 4500年）连续定居区（约30公顷）。因此，该遗址为了解德国中部新石器时代早期的定居结构和发展提供了一把钥匙。由于定居时间长，住宅建筑的发展可以作为范例。关于特殊的中央定居点的特点，如威尔斯和土方工程的问题，有关社区的社会经济组织的问题将进行讨论。根据对一个迄今为止几乎没有进行过研究的地区的发现和特征的详细分析，将重新评估被广泛接受的“霍夫普拉茨模型”。最后，对Eythra的研究为萨克森西北部的新石器时代早期遗址的发展提供了一个视角。

In Eythra, distr. Leipzig, the largest contiguous LBK and SBK (5500 - 4500 BC) settlement area in Central Europe has been uncovered (about 30 ha). The site thus provides a key to understanding early Neolithic settlement structure and development in Central Germany. Due to the long settlement duration the development of house architecture can be exemplarily comprehended. With reference to exceptional central settlement features like wells and earthworks questions about the socio-economic organization of the communities in question will be discussed. Based on detailed analyses of finds and features from a region, where little research has been carried out so far, the widely accepted "Hofplatzmodell" will be reevaluated. Eventually studies in Eythra provide an insight into early Neolithic site development in North-West Saxony.
