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

在莱比锡地区的Eythra，发现了中欧最大的连续LBK和SBK（公元前5500 - 4500年）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定居点的结构和发展提供了一把钥匙。由于聚落持续时间长，房屋建筑的发展可以作为范例来理解。关于特殊的中央住区特征，如井和土方工程，将讨论有关社区的社会经济组织问题。在对一个地区的发现和特征进行详细分析的基础上，目前还没有开展多少研究，广泛接受的“霍夫普拉茨模型”将被重新评估。最终，在Eythra的研究提供了对萨克森州西北部新石器时代早期遗址发展的深入了解。

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.
