Abstract:
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.
