Research project Schöningen

Since 2008 Serangeli has been working at the University of Tübingen at the Senckenberg Research Station Schöningen , a cooperation between the State of Lower Saxony and the Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution and Paleoenvironment at the University of Tübingen . Since 2008, the facility has been continuing the research of the Lower Saxony State Office for Monument Preservation in the Schöningen site complex, where, among other things, the Schöningen spears were discovered. The site in the Schöningen opencast mine is considered to be one of the key sites for the Paleolithic in Europe due to its good preservation conditions in the Pleistocene find layers. According to the head of the Schöningen research station, Nicholas J. Conard, he supplied the most numerous and important wooden tools and hunting weapons from this period. Serangeli's areas of work as a scientific excavation manager include both the excavation areas and the Schöningen research station in the building of the Schöningen Research Museum . During the time of his previous activity, important discoveries were made. These include the discovery of a European water buffalo in 2009, the discovery of the oldest aurochs in Europe in 2010, the continuation of the so-called spear horizon as the layer of the Schöningen spears from an estimated length of 60 to 125 meters in 2011, the discovery of several saber-toothed cats from the year 2012, the find of eggshells of the whooper swan in 2015, the find of the throwing stick from Schöningen in 2016 as the oldest specimen worldwide and the find of the forest elephant from Schöningen in 2017.
