The Baalbergian Roundel Belleben I in the Context of Enclosures of the Funnel Beaker Culture in Central Germany - Genesis, Function and Social Significance

目前的项目旨在以早期漏斗烧烤时期的德国中部沟渠围栏为背景，详细说明完全出土的Belleben一号圆圈。在调查范围内，不仅将获得纪念碑结构的详细图片，还将在漏斗烧杯现象的背景下澄清其起源、功能和社会意义。这首先需要对遗址进行深入的结构分析。关于这一点，必须通过统计和地质统计程序对发现和特征进行详细分析，并相互关联。通过这种方法获得的结果将与从贝勒本周围微型区域收集的当代圆形和非圆形封闭物收集的数据进行比较。此外，还将考虑其他类型的遗址，如山顶遗址和墓葬，并在地理信息系统程序中与沟渠围栏的类别一起进行空间分析。除了这种在巴尔伯利亚地平线内的同步比较外，进一步的步骤旨在通过历时方法通过实例找出米歇尔斯堡、萨尔兹明德和伯恩堡文化围栏的异同。上述步骤是综合和建模的基础。除此之外，应考虑宗教史、体育史、社会学和人种学等科学的不同理论方法，并将其与考古记录联系起来。在项目结束时，预计会有新的科学发现，涉及圆形的意义，特别是它们在漏斗烧杯早期的分化过程中的作用。

The current project aims to illuminate closely the entirely excavated roundel Belleben I in the context of the central German ditched enclosures of the early Funnel Beaker period. Within the bounds of investigation not only a detailed picture of the monuments structure will be obtained, as well as clarifying their genesis, function and social significance in the context of the Funnel Beaker phenomenon.This requires first of all an intensive structural analysis of the site. Concerning this, detailed analyses of the finds and features have to be carried out and related to each other by means of statistical and geostatistical procedures. Results obtained by this will be compared with data collected from contemporary roundels and non-circular enclosures from the micro-region around Belleben. In addition other kinds of sites such as hilltop sites and burials will be taken into account and spatially analysed in a GIS programme along with the category of ditched enclosures.Besides this synchronous comparison within the baalbergian horizon a further step aims to work out by means of example differences and similarities of enclosures of the Michelsberg, Salzmünde and Bernburg Culture in a diachronic approach. The above mentioned steps are the basis for synthesis and modelling. Beyond this, different theoretical approaches from sciences such as history of religion, history of sport, sociology and ethnography should be taken into account and connected with the archaeological record. At the end of the project new scientific discoveries can be expected concerning the significance of roundels in general and their function in the differentiation processes during the early Funnel Beaker period in particular.
