!!!Mondseekultur

Mondsee Culture, a culture of the  New Stone Age between 3600 and 
3300, perhaps 3000 B.C. in the area north of the Alps with centres of 
settlement in the provinces of Upper Austria and Salzburg ( 
Lake-dwellings). Name derived from finds salvaged in the 19%%sup th/%  
century in Lake Mondsee. Typical characteristics are decorations on 
ceramic articles which consist of deep indentations filled with a 
white, limy paste, skilfully finished stone products, and simple 
copper objects, which testify to the copper processing skills of the 
period.
