This document summarizes archaeological findings related to prehistoric sites in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It discusses artifacts and tool types from various time periods, including the Late Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic eras. Specific sites mentioned include Duvensee bog sites that date from the Late Preboreal to Subboreal periods. Analysis of artifacts from sites like Rosenhof, Neustadt, Wangels, and Siggeneben-Süd provide details on lithic technologies and tool assemblages for the Ertebølle culture and early Trichterbecher groups from 4,800 to 3,800 cal BC.

31. Task V: Re-evaluation of the
economic background of the
Mesolithic Duvensee bog sites
Hazelnut harvest was certainly
very important on the temporary
camp sites in Duvensee.
However, specialized hazelnut
roasting hearths are only proven
for some of the early Boreal sites.
