Dallgow im Havelland

At Dallgow-Döberitz on the edge of the Great Havelland Moorlands west of Berlin many important excavations were carried out during building measures after the German reunification. Amongst these, work carried out at find site 15 at Dallgow from 1994-1997 are of special significance, because remarkable settlement features of all archaeological periods since the pre-Roman Iron Age and a Slavic tar production site, unparalleled in Eastern Central Europe as to its extent, have been discovered. From 2008-12 a study group of students at Humboldt University Berlin analysed the material for this publication. Foreword and introduction are followed by four papers dealing with the features and small finds of the settlement of the pre-Roman and Roman Iron Age and the Migration Period, its pottery, the Medieval occupation, and the tar production pits as well as chemical analyses of some tar samples. Amongst the settlement features there are post buildings, sunken-featured buildings, wells, hoards, hearths, fire pits and technical complexes.
