excavation and analysis

The mammothahn was uncovered by a specialized archaeologist team, which used special tools. A security company has taken on the task of guarding the find and preventing predatory excavations. After the fully excavation, the tooth is packed and examined in the laboratory to determine age and maintenance state, reports [https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/badenwuerttemberg/swr-mammutzahn-aufezezeit-auf-suedlink-beastlink-deckt-tml).

The analysis and documentation of such finds are of great importance because they contribute to archaeological research and expand our knowledge of the living conditions in the ice age. According to Wollenweber, this is another significant find that, together with a similar mammoth shock tooth, which was discovered in Schwäbisch Hall in November 2024, enriches the history of this region.

effects on the construction project

Despite the remarkable find, the persons of TransnetBW do not expect major construction delays for the "Suedlink" current route. The earthworks should be completed by the end of 2025. The major project extends over 700 kilometers and aims to transport wind power from the North Sea to southern Germany. The planned commissioning of the route is scheduled for 2028 after the original time frames have changed due to protests in Bavaria.

With an investment of around ten billion euros, "Suedlink" is expected to supply ten million households with green electricity. The end point of the route is in Lingarten, Heilbronn district, and thus offers a central connection between northern and southern Germany, as on [https://www.tagesschau.de/wissen/mammutzahn-archaeology-suedlink-100.html).
