CRC 1070/ Phase 1 Resource Cultures: Subproject B02 Knopf/Kühn/Scholten: Favor – disfavor? Development of resources in marginal areas

This project investigates by two integrated case studies – against the background of specific historic-cultural based resource needs – the causes of development processes of resources and related movements into unfavourable or marginal areas. The favourable area (with respect to the resource soil) Baar is considered as the starting point for movements into adjacent unfavorable areas with different landscape-related location factors: eastern Black Forest and western Swabian Alb. One case study aims on pedological and archaeopedological analyses; the other case study focus on archaeological aspects. A synthesis of both case studies will be done in a cooperative work of PIs and PhD students.
