Horgen culture

[1] The Horgen core area is in Northern Switzerland and Southwest Germany near Lake Constance, but it may have reached farther north along the Rhine River.

The early pottery exhibits an affinity with the Pfyn and maybe the Cortaillod at Twann, Switzerland.

The middle phase (found at Naschdorf-Strandbad, Lake Constance and Dullenried, Federsee) may be influenced by more westerly traditions.

The final Horgen phase exhibits similarities to the Burgerroth, Wartberg, and Goldberg III cultures.

[5] Ötzi the iceman, who was found with a copper axe, also had stone tools of Horgen culture type.
