Between 1988 and 1991, a settlement of the Cham Culture was extensively investigated over approximately 3,300 m² in Dietfurt on the Altmühl River. Beneath nearly one meter of flood sediment, the ancient surface and wood remnants were preserved in waterlogged conditions. The site yielded over 150 artefacts made from bone and antler, along with jewellery, making it a unique find for the Cham Culture. Among the artefacts are 33 defined tools (picks, mounts, sleeves, splints, hammers) and 69 incidental tools and waste from antler. The bone tools predominantly consist of points and chisels, accounting for about 70%. Additionally, there are bolt-shaped projectile points and tools crafted from pig canine teeth. The uneven distribution of these tools within the settlement suggests various activity zones. Notably, the jewellery collection, which includes items made from bone, antler, perforated teeth, molluscs, snails, and limestone, is unprecedented for the Cham Culture. Overall, the findings reflect a connection to the Altheim Culture while also showing influences from both nearby and more distant contemporary cultures.
