Abstract

(English version below) In der Pfahlbaustation Cham-Bachgraben wurde eine Fläche von über 4000 Quadratmetern ausgegraben, rund 16'000 Pfähle und Hunderttausende von Funden aus der Stein- und der Bronzezeit geborgen. Die Auswertung liefert wichtige Erkenntnisse zu den Pfahlbauern in der voralpinen Zentralschweiz. Die Fundstelle befand sich in prähistorischer Zeit auf einer Halbinsel, die von Westen her in den See hineinragte und in der Stein- und in der Bronzezeit immer wieder besiedelt wurde. Die riesige Grabungsfläche und das ausgedehnte Pfahlfeld ermöglichen es, die Siedlungsstrukturen von insgesamt sechs Siedlungen aus der Zeit zischen 3200 und 1550 v.Chr. zu rekonstruieren. Von allen Dörfern sind Siedlungspläne bekannt. Zahlreiche Funde wie Keramikgefässe, Steinbeile, Werkzeuge und Waffen aus Silex und Metall geben einen detaillierten Einblick in den Alltag der Pfahlbauer. Dank einer speziellen Grabungsmethode kamen auch zahlreiche kleinformatige Objekte zum Vorschein, darunter solche, die aus anderen Fundstellen noch kaum bekannt sind, etwa Perlen aus sogenannter Quarzkeramik, einer Art frühem Glas. Neben Alltagsgegenständen stiessen die Fachleute auch auf exklusivere Objekte wie Dolche aus Kupfer oder Feuerstein, die aus Frankreich und Italien importiert wurden und dafürsprechen, dass bereits in der Steinzeit weitreichender Handel stattfand. In der Bronzezeit wurden zahlreiche Schmuckstücke importiert, so Bernsteinperlen, die aus dem Baltikum stammen. At the Cham-Bachgraben pile-dwelling site, an area of over 4000 square meters was excavated and around 16,000 piles and hundreds of thousands of finds from the Stone Age and Bronze Age were recovered. The analysis provides important insights into the pile dwellers of pre-alpine Central Switzerland. In prehistoric times, the site was located on a peninsula that protruded into the lake from the west and was repeatedly inhabited during the Stone Age and Bronze Age. The huge excavation area and the extensive pile field make it possible to reconstruct the settlement structures of a total of six settlements from the period between 3200 and 1550 BC. Settlement plans are known for all the villages. Numerous finds such as ceramic vessels, stone axes, tools and weapons made of flint and metal provide a detailed insight into the everyday life of the pile dwellers. Thanks to a special excavation method, numerous small-format objects have also been unearthed, including objects that are hardly known from other sites, such as beads made of faience (“silica-ceramic”), a type of early glass. In addition to everyday objects, the experts also came across more exclusive objects such as daggers made of copper or flint, which were imported from France and Italy and indicate that extensive trade was already taking place in the Stone Age. In the Bronze Age, numerous pieces of jewelry were imported, such as amber beads from the Baltic.
