  • Paleochannel Evolution of the Leitha River (Eastern Austria) – a Bird’S Eye View A
    Geophysical Research Abstracts, Vol. 8, 08976, 2006 SRef-ID: 1607-7962/gra/EGU06-A-08976 © European Geosciences Union 2006 Paleochannel evolution of the Leitha river (eastern Austria) – A bird’s eye view A.

It is formed by the Schwarza river, originating in the Northern Calcareous Alps, and the Pitten river, coming from the Lower Austroalpine unit of the Wechsel area. In contrast to the general trend of the rivers in the southern Vienna Basin towards the NNE di- rectly towards with the Danube, the Leitha river makes an abrupt turn towards the East at Götzendorf. At Rohrau the next turn follows towards the SE and the Leitha runs through the gate of Carnuntum onto the little Hungarian Plain. The confluence with the Moson-Danube lies farther to the East at Mosonmagyaróvár. The geometry of paleochannels of the Leitha river was investigated in the river section between the confluence of Pitten and Schwarza (forming the Leitha) near Lanzenkirchen and Bruck/Leitha by paleochannel digitization using infrared and black and white aerial photography. This study is part of an archaeological project investigating patterns of prehistoric settlements in this region. The section of the Lei- tha river between Lanzenkirchen and Bruck/Leitha is especially suitable for the study of dynamic fluvial processes and the comparison between former natural river behav- ior and present regulated riverbed, because of the transition from relatively high to low river slopes in this section.

Otter wurden über ihren Kot nachgewiesen. Befundeinheit waren 10 mal 10 Kilometer große Quadrate. Auf 22% der Landesfläche konnten hohe Losungsdichten gefunden werden, auf weiteren 12% geringe, und auf 6% sehr geringe. Auf den übrigen 60% der Fläche konnten keine Otter nachgewiesen werden. Das Ottervorkommen beschränkt sich derzeit im wesentlichen auf den Nordwesten des Landes, das Waldviertel. Südlich der Donau konnten Fischotter nur an wenigen Flüssen nachgewiesen werden. Im Osten von Niederösterreich konnte kein Ottervorkommen bestätigt werden. Auf Grund von Vergleichen mit früher durchgeführten regionalen Kartierungen konnte immerhin eine eindeutige Ausbreitungstendenz des Fischotters seit 1990 konsta- tiert werden. Mögliche Ursachen dieser Entwicklung werden diskutiert und Priori- täten für den Otterschutz skizziert. Summary In 1999 Lower Austria was the first time completely and systematically sur- veyed for the presence of otters. This was done by mapping spraints in 10 to 10 kilometres squares.

  • Silver Pfennigs and Small Silver Coins of Europe in the Middle Ages
    Silver Pfennigs and Small Silver Coins of Europe in the Middle Ages David P. Ruckser and Lincon Rodrigues AUSTRIA *In the section entitled “AUSTRIA” are included coins from Vienna, Vienna Neustadt , Krems, some non-ecclesiatic Friesach and Enns mints.... Especially the “Wiener Pfennigs”. Other issues are listed under the various cities , bishoprics or provinces. The March of Austria was first formed in 976 out of the lands that had once been the March of Pannonia in Carolingian times. In 1156, the Privilegium Minus elevated the march to a Duchy independent of the Duchy of Bavaria. LEOPOLD I - 976-994 Leopold I, also Luitpold or Liutpold (died 994) was the first Margrave of Austria from the Babenberg dynasty. Leopold was a count in the Bavarian Danube district and first appears in documents from the 960s as a faithful follower of Emperor Otto I the Great. After the insurgence by Henry II the Wrangler of Bavaria in 976 against Emperor Otto II, he was appointed as "margrave in the East", the core territory of modern Austria, instead of a Burkhard. His residence was proba- bly at Pöchlarn, but maybe already Melk, where his successors resided. The territory, which originally had only coincided with the modern Wachau, was enlarged in the east at least as far as the Wienerwald. He died at Würzburg. The millennial anniversary of his appointment as margrave was celebrated as Thousand years of Austria in 1976. Celebrations under the same title were held twenty years later at the anniversary of the famous Ostarrîchi document first mentioning the Old German name of Austria.

  • Ages and Abilities
    Childhood in the Past: Monograph Series 9 AGES AND ABILITIES AGES AND ABILITIES AGES AND ABILITIES Ages and Abilities explores social responses to childhood stages from the late Neolithic to Classical Antiquity in Central Europe and the Mediterranean and includes cross-cultural comparison to expand the theoretical and methodological framework. By comparing The Stages of Childhood and osteological and archaeological evidence, as well as integrating images and texts, authors consider whether childhood age classes are archaeologically recognizable, at their Social Recognition in which approximated ages transitions took place, whether they are gradual or abrupt and different for girls and boys. Age transitions may be marked by celebrations and Prehistoric Europe and Beyond rituals; cultural accentuation of developmental stages may be reflected by inclusion or exclusion at cemeteries, by objects associated with childhood such as feeding vessels and toys, and gradual access to adult material culture. Access to tools, weapons and status symbols, as well as children’s agency, rank and social status, are recurrent themes. The volume accounts for the variability in how a range of chronologically and geographically Katharina Edited by and Doris Pany-Kucera Rebay-Salisbury diverse communities perceived children and childhood, and at the same time, discloses universal trends in child development in the (pre-)historic past. Katharina Rebay-Salisbury is an archaeologist with a research focus on the European Bronze and Iron Ages. After completing her PhD in 2005, she was a post-doctoral researcher at the Universities of Cambridge and Leicester in the UK, where she participated in research programmes on the human body and networks.

Printed in accordance with the Guideline of the Austrian Eco-label “Printed-Products”, Vienna, December 2015 Print: Zentrale Kopierstelle des BMLFUW, UW-Nr. 907 PREFACE PREFACE IN FULFILLMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPLES UNDER THE AUSTRIAN WASTE MANAGEMENT ACT, only pre-treated waste with very low organic matter content may be legally landfilled in Austria as of 1 January 2009. This requirement has already been defined in the Waste Management Guidelines 1988. In order to comply with these specifications in particular residual waste requires thermal treatment, in some cases following appropriate pre-treatment. As early as 1999, a White Book entitled “Thermische Restmüllbehandlung in Österreich” (“Thermal Residual Waste Treatment in Austria”) was published to give interested members of the public and experts insight into the subject in an understandable way.

    ZOBODAT - www.zobodat.at Zoologisch-Botanische Datenbank/Zoological-Botanical Database Digitale Literatur/Digital Literature Zeitschrift/Journal: Stapfia Jahr/Year: 2001 Band/Volume: 0077 Autor(en)/Author(s): Bieringer Georg, Sauberer Norbert Artikel/Article: Der Naturraum Steinfeld 9-28 © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Der Naturraum Steinfeld GEORG BIERINGER & NORBERT SAUBERER Abstract: A natural history of the Steinfeld. The Steinfeld represents the southem pari of the Vienna Basin and is situated at the northeastem rim of the Alps in Lower Austria. The area Covers about 250 Square kilometers, the Iowest elevation is 196 m a.s.l., the highest is 418 m a.s.l. respectively. The name „Steinfeld" refers to its unique calcareous gravel surface, which has been deposited by the rivers Piesting, Schwarza and Pitten during the pleistocene periode. The main soil type is of typical rendzina with less water capacity. The climate is typical that of central european regions with some Continental inftuences. The average temperature of January is -1.3° C, that of Juty is 19.3° C respectively. The average sum of precipitation is 614 mm/a with a maximum in July. In some parts the climate is near semi-aride conditions. Lage und Abgrenzung Das Steinfeld, zur Unterscheidung von gleichnamigen Gebieten manchmal auch das Wiener Neustädter Steinfeld genannt, liegt am Nordostrand des Alpenbogens und ist Teil des südlichen Wiener Beckens. Welcher geographischen Einheit die Bezeichnung Steinfeld zugeordnet wird, variiert v.a. in der älteren Literatur stark. GÜTTENBERGER (1929) gibt eine Übersicht über die allmähliche Erweiterung des Begriffes im landeskundlichen Schrifttum: Aus einem Flurnamen für einen Bereich südwestlich von Wiener Neustadt wurde die Bezeichnung des Schwarza-Schotterfächers zwischen Neunkirchen und Wiener Neustadt abgeleitet, die mit der Zeit auch für den nördlich von Wiener Neustadt gelegenen Schotterfächer der Piesting und schließlich für den gesamten von Schottern bedeckten Südwestteil des Wiener Beckens übernommen wurde.
