Scientists' interpretive approaches on the usage of Neolithic circular ditch systems range from cattle compounds, cemeteries and fortifications to meeting places, courts, calendars and observatories.

The construction of these architectural models on a scale of 1: 1 on the Heldenberg was done in part with replica tools made of stone, bone and wood. This provided the opportunity for scientific experiments on the subject of wood processing in the Stone Age in terms of experimental archeology.

The obtained data allow us to make extrapolations to a possible original construction effort in the Neolithic in order to approach the reality of the life of the ring ditch cultures.

As a model for our ring ditch reconstruction the circular ditch system of Schletz with two circular palisades and a V-shaped ditch with two entrances (market town Asparn a.d. Zaya / Schletz, dating 4900 / 4850-4500 BC) was used. The trench had a diameter of about 49 m, at the entrances more than 65 m.

The working model developed on the basis of our detailed hands-on studies shows that 30 workers out of an estimated village population of about 200 people could have completed the construction of the Schletz circular ditch system in addition to the agricultural obligations in two to three years.

The gable ends are made of wickerwork with clay plaster, the roof is covered with reeds.

An outer wall was decorated using pottery models with colored ornaments. In the interior, according to findings from Schletz, a large kitchen with a fire place, oven, meat roast and various storage pits was set up.

The other three buildings were built as post buildings.

When processing Neolithic wood, people were forced by the physical limits of available tools made of wood, stone and bone to process the material in a relatively fresh state "probably even in the felling year", otherwise the tools would have broken. For this reason, in the Neolithic we can speak of a "technology of green wood".
