Part one of a total of seven publications ob the finds and features from the 38th century BC Neolithic sites excavated in 1952 and 1957-1958. Among the finds is an extensive inventory of wooden artifacts. Part 2, dealing with the buildings and settlement history, is ready for printing. A symposium compilation will include Part 8.

Part 1 could only be published after the examination of all finds and features by 40 different authors. The first chapter displays the topography of the site's settlement and its most recent history. The second chapter by W.FLÜKIGER (†1973) provides an overview of the research history of the region since 1950. The third chapter explains the excavations and the methods applied. The fourth chapter treats the sediments and stratigraphy. It becomes clear, that the pollen analyses procured very different results in the different periods of settlement. It also becomes clear why the site had such good conditions for preservation - remains of the settlement slipped into the lake, non-disturbed by later activity. 

The CD-ROM includes a map of the larger than 200m profiles above, below and next to the settled area, the original sketches and illustrations of the excavation, technical drawings of the profiles and the respective profile descriptions.

Eiszeitkunst und die Bildwelt Willi Baumeisters

Editors: Wolfgang Schürle und Nicholas J. Conard

Publisher: Hatje Cantz

ISBN 3-7757-1509-6

Published in 2005

Several renowned artists of the 20th century gravitated towards the oldest known pieces of art made by humans. As no other, Willi Baumeister (1889-1955) dealt with the ice age art and the cultures which produced it: he attempted to interpret the prehistoric signs and the abstract shapes. He connected the past and the present through the images procured by the art. 

Modern and ice age art were featured in an exhibition at the Urmu in Blaubeuren, with a focus on the figurative art of the caves of the Swabian Alps.

Other contributions focus on the cave paintings of Lascaux and Altamira caves. 

With contributions by Harald Floss, August Nitschke, Stefanie Kölbl, Heinz Spielmann, Peter Beye, Elsbeth Wiemann.

600 million years ago, the last known ice age complex ended. Further warm and cold periods followed, which shaped the world as we know it today just as much as earlier ice ages. The different processes of how animals, plants and humans reacted to the climactic changes are explained in this work. However, it also shows  that the long-term changes in climate caused by human activity can be controlled, and that stopping the pollution of the environment is more important due to the drastic, negative consequences it causes.
