Disc wheels from Gnarrenburg
The Gnarrenburg disc wheels are two end-Neolithic disc wheels that were found in the Rotenburg (Wümme) district in Lower Saxony in 1942 when cutting peat in the lowest layers of the 360 km² Devil's Moor near Gnarrenburg . These are three-part disc wheels made of oak with a so-called fixed hub. The hub bushings were carved out of the middle board of the wheels. Nowhere else in Lower Saxony have so many bike discoveries been made on such a small area.
The "Gnarrenburger Rad FStr. 12" was re-dated to 4030 ± 41 BP in 2009 using the AMS procedure. Calibrated with OxCal v. 4.3. if the tip caused by the wiggle error is omitted , this results in 2670–2467 calvC . The wheel is thus in the data range of the North German single grave expression of the culture with corded ceramics .
