Finds

1960s

From the end of the 1960s, in construction phase II of the construction area, numerous pits of a prehistoric settlement were cut in sewer trenches in the Hafnerstraße, Stettiner Straße, Klingenberger Straße, Sudetenstraße and Eldoradostraße, with a large number of ceramic shards decorated with ribbon ceramics and numerous undecorated shards from Kümpfen and Storage vessels with knobs and eyelets next to a few fragments of the Rössen culture .

It was discovered smoother from leg and half of a zugeschliffenen of a long bone ax, Horn pin of a Bezoarziege and a shell next to fragments of vessels from the urnfield culture .

2009

In 2009, before the start of construction work in construction section III of the construction area, the area was examined archaeologically . Individual ceramic shards from the early Neolithic (5500-5000 BC) were found. But most findings came from a settlement of the Middle Neolithic Großgartach Culture (4800-4600 v. Chr.), In addition to pottery shards flint tools , adzes , Beilfragmente of stone and animal bones. Discovered post pits resulted in a 9 meter wide and over 22 meter long house floor plan. According to the location of the clay pits and post holes, one can assume at least two other houses in the find area. The small settlement continued to the west, as earlier finds show.

The remains of a settlement from the Urnfield period (1300–800 BC) were also excavated: five storage pits, four waste pits and a few post holes. In addition to ceramic shards from around 1000 BC In BC, foundry clay , animal bones and shells of river mussels were found in the pits, alongside fragments of bronze needles and a bronze knife. Away from the settlement was a small group of four cremation graves . In two graves there was an urn with corpse burn and a small bowl. One of the urns stood on a fragment of a millstone and in the case of the other two graves, the corpse burned without an urn in a shallow pit, once together with a bronze arm ring and a fragment of a needle in the ashes. There were four vessels by it, and the whole thing was covered with broken pieces from a large storage vessel.

Other finds date from the late Latène period (190 BC to the birth of Christ): a small group of two pit houses and three garbage pits, plus a second of three pit houses and three storage pits 200 meters away. A third group, now overbuilt, is known from old finds. Above all, ceramic remains were found, hand-made coarse and fine ceramics, little graphite clay ceramics and individual shards of turntable goods . In addition to animal bones and daub to numerous fragments of large found briquetage -Gefäßen. Three spindle whorls and fragments of two bronze arm rings come from a mine house. Three millstone fragments found consist of volcanic rock . The small, unpaved scattered settlement was between the Celtic Viereckschanze Röthe, two kilometers away, in the Schluchtern district - possibly the associated “power center” - and the two Viereckschanzen at Nordheim, three kilometers away .
