Several
bandkeramik settlement-areas in the Rhineland have been completely
excavated and their data support a serious calculation of
the necessary economic space. This presentation focuses on
the calculation of areas of economic interest during bandkeramik
times, and their reconstruction in the landscape using GIS.
As a shortage of land for grazing and crops may have led to
economic and social conflict, it is necessary to obtain reliable
data with regard to the demand on land in bandkeramik times.
An up-scaling of these well known sites helps in our understanding
of the process in other regions where our knowledge is less
complete.
