Early Baden Elements in the Neolithic of Central Germany – the »Schoningen Group« Some cultural complexes still do not fit reliably into the seemingly well-established chronology of the Mittelelbe-Saale-Region. One example is the enigmatic Schoningen pottery, named after a settlement site in Lower Saxony. When R. Maier presented the material in 1987, it could only be dated broadly to the Younger Neolithic due to an apparent lack of convincing typological parallels. In 1993 J. Beran assigned several new complexes (e.g. Salzmunde, Oberwerschen; both in Sachsen- Anhalt) to the »Schoningen group« as he called it then. Based on very general typological resemblances, he dated it to the beginning of the Younger Neolithic, regarding it contemporary with early Michelsberg (MK I / II; c. 4200 / 4000 B.C.). On the whole the typochronological suggestion was followed by D. Kaufmann in 1994. In this paper we point to the hitherto unrecognized fact that the Schoningen bowl, as the dominant and most characteristic type, is very closely related to early Baden (Boleraz) pottery. Furthermore, parallels for almost all other typological features can be found in Boleraz and to some extent in Altheim. Therefore Schoningen pottery can be placed in the context of Baalberge and perhaps early Salzmunde (c. 3700–3350 B.C.). We consider the Schoningen types not a cultural »group« sensu stricto, but a bundle of time-specific styles, resulting from a strong Boleraz and perhaps Altheim influence on the Mittelelbe-Saale-Region.

The role of hunting in the Funnel Beaker Culture is analysed by a comparative study of the proportions of wild animal bones at sites in southern Scandinavia and Central Europe. The study revealed signifi cant regional differences. Sites in the southern regions show only small amounts of wild animal bones, in contrast to the north, where both sites with small and large proportions of wild animals occur. The reasons could be differing environmental conditions, differences in the regional economic and settlement systems, and possibly a different cultural background on which the regional groups of the Funnel Beaker Culture evolved. Furthermore this article discusses the importance of the various species of wild animals at sites of the Funnel Beaker Culture.

Auf dem Gebiet Siebenburgens und der Slowakei wurden drei Trensen entdeckt, deren Mundstucke identisch sind und die sich gleichzeitig von anderen Trensentypen des 7.-8. Jahrhunderts unterscheiden. Zwei Stucke stammen aus Siebenburgen, aus Iernut / Sfântu Gheorghe (jud. Mures/RO) und Săcueni (jud. Bihor/RO). Die dritte Trense kam in einem Grab in Devinska Nova Ves (Bratislava) in der Slowakei zutage. Besonderheiten in der Herstellung und die Form des Gebisses heben diese drei Trensen als einen Sondertyp in der Gesamtheit bekannter Artefakte heraus, die im fruhmittelalterlichen Europa entdeckt wurden. Der Typ kann als bewegliche Trensen mit trichterformigen Mundstucken bezeichnet werden. Die Stucke aus Iernut / Sfântu Gheorghe, Devinska Nova Ves und Săcueni datieren in das 7. Jahrhundert, eine Verwendung besonders in der zweiten Halfte des 7. Jahrhunderts, eventuell auch in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 8. Jahrhunderts ist nicht auszuschliesen. Alle drei beweglichen Trensen mit trichterformigen Mundstucken stammen aus dem slawisch-awarischen Milieu.
