> Integration of mobile individuals in Bronze and Iron Age societies in southern Germany. An archaeological anaylsis
Starting from the thesis, that the individual mobility and possibilities of integration are dependent on the social status, gender and social age, the research project “reconstruction of life cycle of mobile individuals in sedentary societies” shall inquire into possibilities to integrate those aspects in current modells to technology transfer and cultural change. The project is running from 2008-11 at University Leipzig and the Max-Planck-Institute of Evo! lutionary Anthropology Leipzig. The aims of the archaeological part-project of the University Leipzig are:
- interaction-modells between individual mobility and technology transfer in diachronical comparison of two case studies from the Early Bronze Age and Early Iron Age in the northern area of the Alps.
- test of new archaeological methods of individual life cycle reconstruction, i.e. integration index and mobility type analogy.
In the centre of the studies are placed two important cemetries of the EBA and EIA. The EBA-cemetery of Singen was excavated in 1950s and published by R. Krause in 1988. The 95 graves in five groups are dated in Bronze Age A1 (C14: 2580–1980 cal BC). It is reputated as necropolis of a central distribution site within the northern alpine chain of metallurgy. Completely excavated and published in the 1970s by K. Spindler, the EIA-tumulus Magdalenenberg contains with 126 burials (Ha D1; 616–c. 550 BC) one of the greatest cemetries of the Western Hallstatt Culture. Varied burial objects could be connected with the early iron smelting in the Black Forest. Both sites show varies contacts to regions far away in Europe.
