Early ceramic settlement near Eitzum

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The early ceramic settlement near Eitzum is two kilometers south of Eitzum , a district of Schöppenstedt in the Wolfenbüttel district in Lower Saxony .

Eitzum is one of the few settlements of the oldest line ceramic in Lower Saxony that was investigated by trial excavations (1956 to 1958) and a larger excavation (by Harald Stäuble, 1987). The test excavations of Franz Niquet were mullion and home accompanying pits exposed. Stone tools were found next to numerous broken vessels. It was possible to detect emmer and probably naked barley as useful plants, as well as cattle and sheep / goats as domestic animals. The radiocarbon dates are 4530 ± 210 BC. BC (charcoal) and 4580 ± 100 BC. Chr. (Ceramic).

The ribbon ceramics settlement pits were partly disturbed by recent traces of settlement of the stitch ribbon ceramics and Rössen culture . In addition, one grave each from the Bell Beaker and Aunjetitz cultures were uncovered. During the excavation (Eitzum 2) in 1987, floor plans of the oldest ceramic band in Lower Saxony were discovered for the first time.
