The specialized book "The Prehistoric Wetland Settlements at the Southern Edge of Lake Pfäffikon" by Kurt Altorfer offers a comprehensive analysis of the significant wetland settlement in the peat bog of Robenhausen. The author highlights the impressive career of farmer Jakob Messikommer, who conducted excavations for over sixty years and made the site internationally known. By combining historical documents and new field data from the 1990s, a detailed picture of the settlement sequence in the region is drawn. Particularly noteworthy is the in situ documented set of loom weights from 1999, which was recovered along with textile fragments from a fire layer. These finds provide valuable insights into textile production during the Pfyner culture and enhance our understanding of the archaeological and archaeobotanical aspects of this period. The book is aimed at professionals and enthusiasts of history and archaeology and provides a solid foundation for further research.
