Fig. 6 Trackways Pr 34 and Pr 35. Next to each other and on the same level, Pr 34 and Pr 35 were built in a time interval of about 100
years (a). While Pr 34 was a regular trackway (b), Pr 35 was a landing stage or built when rising water level created a lake at this spot (c)

The earliest radiocarbon data document settlement
at site Hude at this time (Deichmuller 1968, 1975).
This spot is situated south of Lake Dummer, some
eight kilometres east of Campemoor site.
Dendrochronological data of the trackway tim-
bers suggest four phases of increased tree felling:
starting at 4629 BC (A) when the trackway was built,
and 4614 BC (B), 4590 BC (C), and 4538 BC (D)
for maintenance work (Fig. 4). All four phases are
characterised by reduced annual growth rates of the
trees, indicating an increased water table (Fig. 4). As
contemporaneously dying-off phases of pines and
