The archaeologists have returned to Poing's new development area: They are now examining the last section of the area.
There are already first indications of finds.
The archaeologists from Planateam, led by Ulrich Schlitzer, are digging again in the Poinger Lerchenwinkel.
It is the last area of the new residential area that needs to be examined, informs the working group of developers and investors (ARGE) am Bergfeld.
The area is located on the eastern edge of the Lerchenwinkel.
Poing: Finds suggest a dense settlement structure
Ulrich Schlitzer expects new finds in this section of the residential area.
In a press release published on Thursday by the ARGE, the archaeologist is quoted as saying: “Even during the previous excavations in Lerchenwinkel, a dense settlement structure emerged in the south-eastern part.
I think we will encounter soil structures again here. ”Helmut Sloim, ARGE project manager, is also waiting eagerly for the archaeologists' findings:“ We are standing on historical ground here in Poing.
It is extremely interesting to see that people settled here thousands of years ago. ”The excavations should be completed by December at the latest.
Poing: 4000 year old skeleton
In the course of their first work two years ago, archaeologists found over 1,300 findings and finds from different epochs on the area of the new development area W7, north of Bergfeldstrasse and opposite the Zauberwinkel.
Including a grave site with skeletal remains that are around 4,000 years old and are assigned to the bell jar period.
After completing the archaeological work, Schlitzer twice guided interested citizens across the 16 hectare site (equivalent to about 23 football fields) of the Lerchenwinkel and explained individual finds.
Among other things, the archaeologists were able to reconstruct at least 50 house floor plans.
"This suggests that people have lived here for several millennia," said Ulrich Schlitzer at the time.
Some of the finds reached back to the late Stone Age, and most of the remains of houses and pottery shards can be assigned to the time around 2500 BC.
In the Lerchenwinkel development area, living space will be created for around 2000 people.
A grammar school is also to be built here.
