The Ertebølle Settlement Strande LA 163, Kr. Rendsburg-Eckernförde and the Littorina-Transgression - submarine surveys and investigations

在2012年为期两周的水下试掘期间，对基尔湾的Strande LA 163遗址进行了调查，发现了保存完好的原海岸线上6米水深的废物处置区的原址发现层。这场运动为被利托里纳海侵淹没的埃尔特布勒较老的海岸线定居点提供了证据。尽管检查的时间很短，但该遗址显示了令人印象深刻的库存和良好的有机文物保存条件。初步结果为工匠在该地区的工作和食品加工提供了证据。此外，树的年代学可测年树干，再加上罕见的不受污染地恢复保存完好的人类遗骸的可能性，适合进行DNA分析，使斯特兰德成为一个具有巨大未来研究潜力的非凡地点。通过树状年代学、类型学和物理测量得出的年龄为公元前5390-4750年。重要的问题，如该遗址的地貌发育和沉积过程，迄今尚未得到解决。此外，我们在测试壕沟中确定的废物处置区的规模，以及相应的定居点的位置和大小仍有待调查。根据潜水员在附近发现的单一发现，对更多树干和泥炭露头的观察，以及大量被冲上岸的文物，证明了发掘地点周围有更多的考古结构。研究目的是调查通过取芯发现的地层的尺寸和保存情况，并系统地调查周围地区进一步的中石器时代晚期遗址。通过这种方式，我们计划更详细地解决基尔湾中石器时代晚期的考古潜力，这被认为是非常好的。因此，必须证明Strade LA 163及其来源环境的可用性，以此作为探索该地区狩猎采集社会生活方式的研究基础，这是中石器时代研究严重不足的一章。鉴于应用项目证明了该研究领域假定的非凡科学潜力，因此打算继续和加强这项研究。

The site Strande LA 163 in Kiel Bay was investigated during a two-week underwater test excavation in 2012 and revealed well preserved in situ find layers of a waste disposal area on the former coastline in six meters water depth. The campaign gave evidence for an older Ertebølle coastline settlement which was submerged by the Littorina Transgression. Despite the short time of inspection the site revealed an impressive inventory and good preservation conditions for organic artefacts. Preliminary results give evidence for craftsmen working and the food processing in this area. Moreover, dendrochronological datable tree trunks in addition to the rare possibility to recover well preserved human remains without contamination, suitable for aDNA analyses, make Strande an extraordinary site with large potential for future research. Dating by dendrochronology, typology and physical measurements indicates an age of 5390-4750 BC. Important questions, such as the geomorphological development and sedimentation processes on the site have so far not been addressed. Furthermore, the dimension of the waste disposal area, which we identified in the test trenches, and the location and size of the corresponding settlement remain to be investigated. Single finds from nearby reported by divers, the observation of more tree trunks and peat outcrops, as well as numerous ashore washed artefacts give evidence for more archaeological structures in the surroundings of the excavation site.The research objective is to investigate the dimensions and preservation of findlayers via corings and to systematically survey the surrounding area for further late Mesolithic sites. By this means we plan to resolve the archaeological potential for the late Mesolithic of Kiel Bay, which is considered to be excellent, in more detail. Thereby proof has to be given for the usability of Strande LA 163 and its sourroundings as research basis for exploring the lifestyle of hunter-gatherer societies in this region, a severely understudied chapter in the mesolithic period. Given that the applied project proofs the postulated exceptional scientific potential of the research area, a continuation and intensification of the research is intended.
