Megalithlandschaft Südostrügen - Die Komplexität neolithischer Gesellschaften im Spiegel landschaftsarchäologischer Untersuchungen einer Schlüsselregion.

吕根岛占地约962平方公里，以其丰富的考古遗址为特点。最有特色的纪念碑是有记录的250个巨石坟墓。此外，还有大约2000个新石器时代的地表遗址和大约500个石块散射体。它们共同为中石器时代晚期和新石器时代整个岛屿的定居景观提供了令人印象深刻的证据。利用这一丰富的数据集，将通过使用地理信息系统对考古景观建模来分析证据。为了补充现有的调查，将挖掘一个位于湿地环境中的定居点。关于考古沉积物和多样化自然环境的新数据将提供更详细的了解，了解人类社区与其环境之间在一个明确界定的微型区域内的相互作用。这反过来将导致对新石器时代社会内部的社会和经济结构以及他们在微观范围内的心态的调查。其结果将是一系列与中观和宏观层面的复杂社会发展有关的模型。

The island of Rügen covers approximately 962 square kilometres and is characterized by its wealth of archaeological sites. The most distinctive monuments are the 250 recorded megalithic graves. In addition there are approximately 2000 Neolithic surface sites and around 500 lithic scatters. Together they represent impressive evidence for the settled landscape across the island during late Mesolithic and Neolithic times. Using this rich dataset the evidence will be analysed through the use of GIS to model archaeological landscapes. To supplement existing investigations, a settlement situated within a wetland environment will be excavated. The new data on archaeological deposits and the diverse natural environment will provide a more detailed understanding of the interactions between human communities and their environment within a well-defined micro-region. This in turn will lead to the investigation of social and economic structure within Neolithic societies and their mindscapes within a micro-scale. The result will be a series of models relating to the development of complex societies on a meso- and macro-scale.
