!!!Badener Kultur

Baden Culture: Findings were unearthed in 1892 in the Koenigshoehle 
cave (west of Baden), which were assigned to the later Neolithic 
period. Among them were a great number of ceramics fragments, stone 
and bone tools and a copper neckring. These finds gave their name to 
the Baden Culture, a regional Neolithic culture in eastern Austria 
lasting from 3,300 to 2,800 B.C. The decoration of vessels with rows 
of flutes of varying breadth which form different patterns (fluting) 
is typical of this culture. Metals played only a minor role in tool 
making. Copper was used in the crafting of personal ornaments. The 
dwellings were mostly unfortified and situated on mountain slopes and 
in the uplands, for instance in the southern Vienna Woods. Influences 
from south-eastern Europe are evident ( Prehistory).
