Short Description
The site Litzelstetten-Krähenhorn was discovered in 1899 on the southern shore of the Überlinger Lake, directly across the water from the town of Unteruhldingen. The site represents a typical lakeside settlement along the northern shore of the Bay of Constance, with an extensive pile field and a considerable Settlement history. The site was first mapped in 1950, by H. Schiele, and extensively surveyed between 2002 and 2003, by archaeological divers of the Department of Antiquities and Monuments.
