Abstract English
Pile dwellings have been researched throughout Europe for decades. This has led to the development of different methods and even to different schools of excavation and analysis techniques, influenced by the research traditions in the different countries. This volume provides a current insight into international research on life in and around prehistoric water landscapes. It contains several case studies that demonstrate the importance of scientific analysis for the study of land-water settlement and anthropogenic influence on the landscapes around pile dwellings in the Neolithic and Bronze Age, and presents a new set of data and international perspectives on the settlement of European wetland landscapes.
Abstract German
Pfahlbauten werden seit Jahrzehnten in ganz Europa erforscht. Dies hat zur Entwicklung unterschiedlicher Methoden und sogar zu verschiedenen Schulen von Ausgrabungs- und Analysetechniken geführt, die von den Forschungstraditionen in den einzelnen Ländern beeinflusst sind. Dieser Band gibt einen aktuellen Einblick in die internationale Forschung über Leben in und um prähistorische Wasserlandschaften. Er enthält verschiedene Fallstudien, die die Bedeutung der wissenschaftlichen Analyse für die Untersuchung der Besiedlung zwischen Land und Wasser und des anthropogenen Einflusses auf die Landschaften rund um Pfahlbauten im Neolithikum und in der Bronzezeit aufzeigen, und präsentiert einen neuen Datenbestand und internationale Perspektiven für die Besiedlung europäischer Gewässerlandschaften.
