In Diemarden, a large Linienbandkeramik settlement complex was magnetically prospected in its entirety. It is one of the few LBK settlement areas
which hardly attracted later prehistoric activity and at the same time has so far been largely spared from modern destruction. The prospecting
results show numerous Early Neolithic structures in great detail, including two earthworks and a large number of houses. Their ground plans are
often so clearly visible in the grey-scale image that they can be classified typologically and chronologically. The building tradition in Diemarden fits
well into the regional context, as comparisons with observations at neighbouring Early Neolithic settlements show.
