Mauenheim und Bargen: Zwei Grabhügelfelder der Hallstatt- und Frühlatènezeit aus dem nördlichen Hegau
The monograph deals with the Hallstatt cemetery of Immendingen-Mauenheim (district of Tuttlingen), which comprises 23 burial mounds and at least 10 small cremation graves between the mounds, and with the necropolis of Engen-Bargen (district of Constance), which consists of five tumuli. Both sites are located about 700 m apart in the northern Hegau, a few kilometres south of the Danube, between the Alps and the Black Forest. The study is based on a dissertation from the 1970s and is supplemented by new research devoted to specific finds and social and economic aspects. Animal grave goods from the tombs were analysed achaeozoologically. Anthropological studies of the skeletons from the Hallstatt period as well as research on mobility and nutritional status of humans and animals contribute to the reconstruction of Iron Age living conditions in south-western Germany.
