Landscape archaeological investigations near Wanna, district Cuxhaven, Germany - layer data@en

In the Ahlen-Falkenberger Moor, District of Cuxhaven beneath layers of peat lays a conserved prehistoric landscapes. For a long time it was assumed that due to its boggy environment the terrain was uninhabited. The ongoing severe peat shrinkage initially caused by the cultivation in the early 20th century revealed megalithic tombs in the bog. Numerous sites of the Funnel Beaker Culture such as megalithic tombs as well as settlements and flat graves can be documented in the surrounding areas. It is the aim of the authors thesis as part of the project \"Preserved in the bog\" at the Lower Saxony Institute for Historical Coastal Research to reconstruct the Neolithic landscape based on a combination of archaeological, botanical and geological methods. The sediment descriptions of 215 auger corings provided the groundwork for the reconstruction of the prehistoric landscape. This data set was created as part of the drilling work for the author's master thesis.

在库克斯哈芬县（Cuxhaven）的阿伦-法尔肯贝格沼泽（Ahlen-Falkenberger Moor）的泥炭层之下，留存有一处受到保护的史前景观。长期以来，学界普遍认为这片沼泽化区域因潮湿泥泞的环境，从未有人类在此定居。20世纪早期的耕作活动引发了泥炭层持续严重收缩，使得沼泽中的巨石墓（megalithic tombs）得以重见天日。在该区域周边，已记录到大量漏斗杯文化（Funnel Beaker Culture）遗存，包括巨石墓、定居点遗迹与平葬墓。作者的硕士论文作为下萨克森历史海岸研究所（Lower Saxony Institute for Historical Coastal Research）“沼泽封存”（Preserved in the bog）项目的组成部分，其核心目标是结合考古学、植物学与地质学方法，重建该区域的新石器时代景观。215份螺旋钻取芯（auger corings）的沉积物描述记录，为本次史前景观重建提供了基础支撑。本数据集正是作者硕士论文配套钻探工作的产出成果。
