Bandkeramischer Fundplatz von Imbshausen und Eboldshausen, Neolithic archaeological site in Northeim, Germany.
This archaeological site between Imbshausen and Eboldshausen villages covers roughly one hectare of land. Excavations revealed more than 1100 artifacts, including grinding stones, tools, and pottery from the Neolithic period.
Discovery of the settlement happened during highway expansion works that led to systematic investigations from 2017 onwards. The excavations uncovered 16 longhouses dating to around 5200 to 5000 BCE during the Linear Pottery culture period.
The objects found here show how early farming communities lived and worked, using stone and flint tools for daily tasks. They reveal people who grew crops and built wooden houses over generations.
The site is located near the A7 motorway and can be reached via roads in the Northeim region. Wear sturdy shoes as the terrain can be uneven and the area remains mostly rural and undeveloped.
Excavations revealed post holes from ancient structures measuring between 8 and 11 meters wide with completely intact house platforms. This makes it one of the most thoroughly preserved Neolithic settlements found in the region.
