Die Konzentrationen IIb und IV des Magdalénien-Fundplatzes Gönnersdorf (Mittelrhein)
The Magdalenian site of Gönnersdorf offers unique possibilities for the spatial analysis of a Late Palaeolithic settlement area due to its richness of finds and exceptionally good preservation. While Concentration IV was already the subject of a study published in 1997, Concentration IIb is a previously unexplored settlement structure.
Concentration IIb represents a partial area of the large Concentration II, whose central settlement structure (Concentration IIa) was already dealt with in detail in 2007 (Monogr. RGZM 69). The focus is now on clarifying the function of the settlement structures in Concentration IIb as well as their temporal and spatial relationship to the neighbouring Concentrations IIa and III.
A renewed spatial analysis of Concentration IV seemed to make sense, since digital analysis methods in particular have been considerably refined since the initial work, and some previously untreated partial aspects could now be investigated. This led to detailed results regarding the relationship between latent and evident findings as well as artefact production in K-IV.
