Description
actuellement disponible uniquement en langue anglaise

The Neolithic lake shore settlement See / Mondsee was discovered by Matthäus Much in 1872. The term "Mondsee culture", or "Mondsee group", which was coined by find material from this and nearby sites, made See one of the most famous lakeside settlements in Austria with one of the longest research traditions. Dives in the 1960s prompted the Federal Monuments Office to take stock of all underwater monuments in Austria. In the 1980s, underwater archaeological excavations were already taking place in See, which are still visible in the lake.

Particularité & point forts
actuellement disponible uniquement en langue anglaise

The Neolithic find material from the lakeside settlements at Mondsee and the nearby Lake Attersee initially prompted the notion to look at it as an independent culture - the "Mondsee culture". In modern research, the term is used more cautiously. The "Mondsee group", dating between 3800-3500 BC, is nowadays understood as a subgroup of the Neolithic cultures.
