The Dürrnberg mountain with its Iron Age and Medieval remains of salt extraction belongs to the outstanding examples of [pre-]historic mining landscapes with partly unique conditions for the conservation of archaeological sources, mostly of organic material [wood, textile, leather, fur etc.]. They have now been completely published with this third volume of the series. The ancient mines are completely filled in today and are of such huge dimensions that a complete investigation is impossible and only long-term studies such as the present one are promising at all. Because of the complexity of the features the conventional excavation plans were supplemented by a three-dimensional visualization of all major excavations sites under ground, which can now be virtually "visited" by means of the CD-ROM. The text volume consists of the main text on historic salt mining [13th to 20th century. A.D.], methods, progress and analysis of the excavations, the topography of features and find sites as well as a voluminous catalogue of the prehistoric mining areas with their features and finds [NE-group, central-group, W-group, S-group, and E-group]. The second volume contains plates organized by find categories.
