Prehistoric ‘pile dwellings’ were discovered only 150 years ago, and Europe’s past, before the advent of the written word, is well-preserved in numerous lakes and wetlands throughout the foothills of the Alps. One such site has been recreated for modern eyes at Pfahlbaumuseum in Germany. As demonstrated at Pfahlbaumuseum, these sites of the alpine region have provided specialists with a unique opportunity to reconstruct what life was like in early societies and to connect the missing link between the hunter-gatherers of pre-history and the first European civilizations.
