Abstract |
During the rescue excavations in front of the Zurich-Opera House several layers of Neolithic and Bronze Age cultural layers were excavated. Our investigation concentrates on layers 13 and 14, dating to the Horgen culture (between 3000 and 3200 BC). Beside of large animal bones we mainly investigate around 500 bulk samples from this layer for botanical and small zoological remains including insects. Goal is to get insight into layer formation processes, as well as the economy of these settlements. Until now, such a large amount of bulk samples was never analysed precisely, so, many larger plant macroremains may be underrepresented. The investigation of these samples will therefore allow us to give answers to open methodological questions.
Animal bones, insect remains, botanical macro remains, pollen and lake and cultural sediments of the archaeological site of Zürich-Opéra will be investigated to reconstruct the Neolithic economy, environment and life conditions in the 2nd half of the 4th millennium BC. |
