ABSTRACT In the Federsee basin, a large bog in the pre-alpine foreland of Upper Swabia/Southern Germany, hitherto 58 logboats have been discovered. This outstanding large number of watercraft raises questions on the interrelationship between Federsee bog and the Main European Watershed. At the southern edge of Federsee basin, the riverine systems of Rhine and Danube rivers are separated only by few kilometres of dry land. It is to be suggested that this isthmus between the two large European river systems was used as a portage and part of a traffic system that integrated land and water routes. A multitude of ethnographic and historical evidence indicates that portages played an important role in landscapes with poor conditions for land transport. In contrast, archaeological observations on portages are generally very scarce. Direct archaeological evidence is also lacking at Federsee. A potential Federsee portage remains therefore hypothetical.

土地和水的融合–史前穿越欧洲分水岭的费德湖原木船

摘要在上施瓦本州/德国南部的阿尔卑斯山前陆大沼泽地费德湖盆地，迄今已发现58艘木船。数量众多的飞船引起了人们对费德湖沼泽与欧洲主要流域之间相互关系的质疑。在费德湖流域的南部边缘，莱茵河和多瑙河的河流系统仅相隔数公里的旱地。建议将欧洲两大河流系统之间的地峡用作陆路和水路综合交通系统的一部分。大量的民族志和历史证据表明，在土地运输条件较差的景观中，港口运输起着重要作用。相反，关于搬运的考古观察通常非常稀少。费德湖也缺乏直接的考古证据。因此，潜在的Federsee搬运仍然是假设的。
