Herxheim, Neolithic archaeological site in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The excavation site spans 6 hectares and contains a triple semi-circular enclosure ditch divided into three sections with 80 surrounding pits.
Between 5300 and 4950 BC, this Linear Pottery culture settlement contained scattered remains of more than 1000 individuals from multiple European regions.
The settlement revealed high-quality pottery from local and distant regions, along with flint tools from various sources throughout the Neolithic period.
Discovered in 1996 during construction work, the site continues to provide evidence through systematic archaeological investigations and laboratory analysis.
Human skeletal remains indicate specific patterns of dismemberment, with skulls showing systematic splitting and evidence of marrow extraction similar to animal processing.
