Schalkenburg, Archaeological site in Quenstedt, Germany
Located in the Harzvorland region, Schalkenburg rises 214.6 meters above sea level, surrounded by a floodplain intersected by the Hengstbach stream.
The excavations between 1967 and 1986 revealed multiple settlement layers, including a Neolithic circular ditch system and fortifications from the Bronze Age period.
The discovery of residential areas, hearths, and decorative bronze hoards indicates the presence of established communities engaging in metalworking and domestic activities.
The archaeological site features interpretive signs and maintained pathways, allowing visitors to explore the excavated areas while learning about prehistoric settlements.
Research uncovered five parallel oval post rings with specific entrances, suggesting potential astronomical purposes during the Stichbandkeramik cultural period.
