To interpret artifact assemblages, it is necessary to understand the processes that have formed and influenced them: layer formation processes, cultural practices, and the way resources were used. In this study, we present our results of micromorphologically analyzed pits, ditches, house floors, and occupation layers found within the younger Iron Age settlement of Basel‐Gasfabrik. We defined 11 microfacies types and put them into a spatial and stratigraphic context. In addition, we quantify waste categories according to the archaeological features and microfacies types. Our results suggest that some ditches played a role in the spatial organization of the settlement, others were used as water canals. Several pits show a secondary use as roofed construction in the context of handicrafts. In addition, mapping the microfacies types reveals a differentiated use of space. Finally, differences between waste categories are visible. Dung was used as fuel and probably as fertilizer, whereas animal bone fragments and ceramic sherds have been stored on rubbish dumps, where they were available as raw material. These new insights into the use of pits, ditches, and settlement areas as well as the handling of resources provide an important basis for understanding everyday life in the settlement of Basel‐Gasfabrik.

隐藏的中部地区：巴塞尔-加斯法布里克（瑞士）LaTène定居点的沉积过程，废物处置方法和资源管理的地质考古调查

要解释人工制品的组合，有必要了解已经形成并影响它们的过程：层的形成过程，文化习俗以及资源的使用方式。在这项研究中，我们介绍了在巴塞尔-加斯法布里克铁矿时代较年轻的定居点中发现的微观形态分析的坑，沟，房屋地板和占领层的结果。我们定义了11种微相类型，并将它们置于空间和地层环境中。此外，我们根据考古特征和微相类型对废物类别进行量化。我们的结果表明，一些沟渠在定居点的空间组织中发挥了作用，其他沟渠被用作水渠。一些坑在手工艺品的背景下显示出作为屋顶结构的辅助用途。此外，绘制微相类型的图谱显示出空间的不同用途。最后，可见废物类别之间的差异。粪便被用作燃料，也可能被用作肥料，而动物的骨头碎片和陶片被储存在垃圾堆中，它们被用作原料。这些关于坑，沟，定居区的使用以及资源处理的新见解为理解巴塞尔-加斯法布里克定居区的日常生活提供了重要基础。
