Windshield
The windshield is an angled protection erected or set up against the main wind direction . A typical modern form is the beach shelter .
history
For Eurasia and parts of South America , some scientists see the windshields as a preliminary or parallel stage of tent and hut . The shelter for the camp and the campfire made of simple material could have served nomadic hunters . Two such accommodations can be seen in the archaeological open-air museum in Asparn an der Zaya in Lower Austria . The sequence of residential buildings from prehistoric times begins with them .
The windshields in Asparn are not reconstructions, as such protective roofs have not been archaeologically proven. Rather, they illustrate the hypothesis that people of the Paleolithic could have used such protective devices. According to Franz Hampl , the former museum director, they are models of thought. Here the ethnology was the inspiration, which knows windshields in hunters who are characterized by a minimum of material culture.
