Subject Area
Prehistory and World Archaeology

Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 290391021
Project D2 focusses on the transformation of ritual practices, economic patterns and the use of the environment by communities from the 4th to the 3rd millennium BCE in the area of the Lower Mountain Range of central and western Germany. To better understand the transition from the Late to the Final Neolithic periods and the underlying trans-regional phenomena in the diverse environment of the study area, the local and regional cultural developments are investigated in order to assess their potentially diverse trajectories. This focus will be on economic strategies (including tool production) and the study and comparison of processes of transformation, their speed and impact at different temporal scales.
