Extract

Excavation of a Neolithic settlement of the Altheim culture and analysis of the finds demonstrated that its inhabitants made optimal use of raw materials available in the immediate vicinity and supplemented these with selected material from distances usually not more than 40 km away. Some contact with Switzerland and Austria is also indicated. Survey of other sites in the area indicate that there was dense occupation of the river flood plain, possibly linked with upland settlements.
