In Chapter 1 the new results of magnetic prospection are shown. Including all excavations and former
prospection, we now have 125 – 135 houses constructed from about 5650 to 5050 BC. If we take all
into account, there might be up to 150 houses, thus making Brunn am Gebirge Wolfholz by far the
largest settlement of the LPC, beginning in the Formative phase.

Chapter 2 presents the triangulation map and aerial photos of site 3. Aerial photos were taken on a
flight with a helicopter in the excavation year 1999.

In Chapter 3 Alexander Minnich presents statistics of all newly detected hearths and ovens, in which
he interpreted the houses in the triangulation map with the exception of those already discussed in
volume 1, mostly from site 2.

Chapter 4 investigates technological aspects and the shape of pottery from site 3.

In Chapter 5 the ornamentation of pottery from Brunn site 3 is shown and cast into a typology.

Chapter 6 shows the clay objects, which are amulets and bells, with their parallels in eastern Europe.

In Chapter 7 Beate Pomberger discusses further musical instruments from Brunn – vessel flutes and
bells made from ceramics and their parallels in eastern Europe.

In Chapter 8 similarities between the features of the Formative phase of Brunn site 2 are compared
with Brunn site 3.

Chapter 9 is the Bayesian approach to a house sequence, for about 27 houses. Only in these houses
enough information – radiocarbon dates and ceramics – was available. The same radiocarbon data
used in this way can be used for a sequencing of the phases.

In Chapter 10 is given the chronology of the Brunn Sites in the context of the Linear Pottery Culture.

In Chapter 11 Nadezhda Kotova tries to give a sequence of houses from site 3, by using different
parameters, such as topography, orientation, climate, seriation, and radiocarbon data.

In Chapter 12 we give an overview of rock materials found at all sites of Brunn Wolfholz.

In Chapter 13 we present a typology of the macrolithic artefacts.

In Chapter 14 a complete dataset of macrolithic artefacts from Brunn Wolfholz is shown.

In Chapter 15 we present a stray find of a stone axe from a geological inspection.

Chapter 16 deals with the further investigation of petrographic and mineralogical analyses of
additional selected pottery from the excavation Brunn am Gebirge (locality Wolfholz) from sites 1, 3
and 4 and a comparison with some reference samples.

Chapter 17 disproves our hope to identify Hungarian sites, from where we thought some imported
ceramics of Brunn came from.
 In Chapter 18 our student Yanik Hahnekamp investigates the topographical situation of LPC
Cemeteries and settlement burials in comparison with the distribution of Mesolithic and LPC
settlements.
