Abstract

At the Linear Pottery settlement site Hollenstedt "Salzberg", discovered in the late 1920s, an earthwork dating to the 52nd/51st century B.C. was determined during a geophysical survey. It consists of a wide semi-circular trench and, running alongside it on the inside, a probable palisade ditch. The location of a wall can be deduced for the mostly featureless area between the ditches. The sites of four Linear Pottery houses are recognisable by traces of posts in the area enclosed by the village ditches; eight further houses are probable based on anomalies suggesting longitudinal ditches. The current appearance of the earthwork is the result of lateral erosion processes. Originally the Early Neolithic settlement was considerably larger and the earthwork probably had a roundish oval shape. To date, nine Linear Pottery earthworks are known in southern Lower Saxony which, from a technical point of view, have notable differences and thus apparently fulfilled different functions.
