Preliminary Report on the Neolithic Bog Settlement of Niederwil (Figs. 1-13)

(p. 559) Through a number of famous finds, such as a very fine battle axe ( Knaufhammeraxt ), a complete wooden bow and a wooden dagger-like object, and by the presence of wooden floors the Neolithic bog dwelling of Niederwil (Gemeinde Gachnang, Kt. Thurgau, Switzerland) has kept a certain fame (Fig. I), although it is many years since the last finds were made (Pupikofer, 1863; Keller, 1863, 1878).
