Abstract:		 Investigations in the Neolithic lake-side settlement of Hornstaad Hornle IA , Lake Constance, Germany (dendrochronologically dated to 3917-3905 BC) have answered many questions concerning Neolithic life. The reconstruction of landscape development, agricultural activities and land use have been the main subjects for pedological and archaeobotanical research. The settlement was built in the seme-terrestric zone of the lake. Beechlime- oak-forests occurred on the soils (luvisols) that lie beyond the site, mostly developed on glacial and young Holocene sediments. it was there that the first agricultural occupation took place. The high quality of the cultivated soils meant manuring was not necessary. The location of the Neolithic fields has been reconstructed by soil mapping, and huge carbonized cereal stores made it possible to reconstruct the extent of the arable land. As most of the wild plant remains in the stores were from annual field weeds, it was concluded that the arable land has been cultivated continously, probably for the whole duration of the settlement. In contrast to the Bronze Age, only a few signs of soil erosion and accumulation processes could be observed during the Neolithic. All investigations took place within a long-term project involving interdisciplinary research financed by the 'Deutsche forschungsgemeinschaft'.
