The Schwieberdinger group , sometimes also known as the Schwieberdinger culture , was a Neolithic prehistoric culture around 4,300 - 4,200 BC. Chr.
It is named after the eponymous site in Schwieberdingen in Baden-Württemberg . The term Schwieberdinger Gruppe was coined in 1938 by the prehistorian Armin Stroh .
There are only sparse finds from the Schwieberdinger group. They had contact with the Rössen culture , but were not a group of theirs. Finds testify to mining huts and hilltop settlements. The food base was agriculture and livestock farming. Arrowheads indicate hunting.
The decoration of the ceramic is characterized by recessed angular bands and hanging triangles with fringe-like ends. The so-called window motifs are the leitmotif of the Schwieberdinger Group. In the case of undecorated ceramics, there are reinforced edges with spots (similar to the Michelsberg culture ). From flint were mainly scrapers and arrowheads; Millstones with runners and ax blades are made from rock , and awls are made from bone .
