The settlement history of the Stadtberg of Neuburg a.d. Donau in the pre-Roman Metal Ages and its function in the settlement system on the upper Danube

纽堡的斯塔德堡。多瑙河位于多瑙河上游(LKR。巴伐利亚州纽堡-施罗本豪森)位于长途运输的关键位置，从史前到历史时期都有漫长而曲折的定居点历史。人类占领留下的遗迹，如防御工事、文化层、坑、建筑结构和丰富的考古材料，尤其是在厄恩菲尔德、哈尔斯塔特和拉廷时期留下的。显然，从厄恩菲尔德早期到拉泰纳早期，山顶聚落一直被占领，这表明纽堡斯塔德贝格在区域聚落格局中的特殊地位。由于几十年来，老城区一直处于当地历史学会和拜里里斯地方政府的严密监视之下，因此采取了许多考古措施，提供了考古文件和大量材料。其中包括大量保存完好的前罗马金属时代的动物骨骼，这些骨骼产生了关于该遗址的经济和聚落历史的广泛的科学结果。该项目旨在重建前罗马定居点的进程和纽堡的斯塔德堡的作用。多诺在贯穿金属时代的微观区域中的详细描述。对考古文献和出土文物的处理和分析已进入高级阶段。定居点的复杂特征，如带有几个阶段的城墙和沟渠，文化层面，包括焚烧层、定居点坑和坑房，提供了关于占领过程的详细信息。为了充分发挥科学潜力，用高分辨率AMS放射性碳法测定了地层的主要特征。此外，根据动物考古学的方法对数千块动物骨骼进行了检查。通过这种方式，山顶聚落的营养和经济实践的模式和变化被重建，从青铜时代晚期到拉泰纳时代早期。最后，通过记录和分析公元前纽堡微区的考古遗址。多瑙斯塔德贝格作为金属时代的区域中心的作用将得到强调。

The Stadtberg of Neuburg a.d. Donau is situated on the upper Danube (Lkr. Neuburg-Schrobenhausen, Bavaria) in a key position for long distance transport and has a long and chequered settlement history from prehistoric to historic times. Remnants of human occupation such as fortifications, cultural layers, pits, building structures and rich archaeological materials have been left especially from the Urnfield, Hallstatt and Latène periods. Apparently, the hilltop settlement was occupied continuously from the early Urnfield to the early Latène period, and this points to a special position of the Neuburg Stadtberg in the regional settlement pattern. As the old town area has been under intensive surveillance by the local Historical Society and the Bayerisches Landesamt für Denkmalpflege for decades, numerous archaeological measures took place which have provided archaeological documentation and large amounts of materials. These include great quantities of well preserved animal bones of the pre-Roman Metal Ages which yield a wide range of scientific results regarding the economy and settlement history of the site. The project aims at reconstructing the processes of pre-Roman settlement and the role of the Stadtberg of Neuburg a.d. Donau in the microregion through the Metal Ages in detail. The processing and analysis of the archaeological documentation and finds has already progressed to an advanced stage. Complex features of the settlement such as a rampart and ditches with several phases, cultural strata including burned layers, settlement pits and pit-houses provide detailed information on occupation processes. In order to make full use of the scientific potential, stratigraphic key features are dated by high-resolution AMS radiocarbon method. Furthermore, several thousands of animal bones are examined according to zooarchaeological methods. In this way the patterns and changes of nutrition and of economic practices in the hilltop settlement are reconstructed from the late Bronze to the early Latène period. Finally, by recording and analysing archaeological sites in the microregion of Neuburg a.d. Donau the role of the Stadtberg as a regional center of the Metal Ages will be highlighted.
