This media file depicts a museum display case showcasing artifacts from the first permanent settlements in what is now Vienna, Austria. The display case is made of glass, with reflections of the surrounding environment visible on its surface, including a warm, artificial light that suggests an indoor setting, likely a museum. The primary subjects are several ancient stone tools and pottery fragments. Specifically, items labeled 1-3 are described as axes and hatchets for woodworking, dating from approximately 4700-2200 BCE. Item 4 is a fragment of a bowl with distinctive incised line and "musical note" decoration, characteristic of the Linear Pottery culture (circa 5200-5000 BCE). Item 5 is identified as a jewelry pendant, possibly partially worked, also from the period 5200-5000 BCE, presented alongside an oyster shell. The objects are placed on a dark background within the display, with small, numbered labels (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) indicating their individual identity. Reflections on the glass show hints of people and architectural elements, suggesting a public space. The text on a label in the display provides detailed information in both German and English. It explains that during the Neolithic period, people established permanent settlements in the Vienna area, engaging in farming and animal husbandry. The artifacts are presented as evidence of their daily lives. The text also lists the specific locations where these artifacts were found, including Satzberg, Praterspitz, Aspern, and Rasumofskygasse/Rochusmarkt, all within or near Vienna. The overall scene evokes a sense of historical exploration and the preservation of ancient human history.
