The Funnel Beaker period settlement Lavenstedt 178, District of Rotenburg (Wümme)

This article presents the first results of archaeological investigations of the Funnel Beaker period settlement Lavenstedt 178, district of Rotenburg (Wümme). Apart from an occupation layer containing a large amount of finds, a well and the ground-plan of a house belonging to this period were recorded in the course of the excavations. For North-west Germany this provides the first opportunity to obtain information not only about building structures but also about activities and infrastructural installations.
