Archeology

La Hoguette is also the type site of the early Neolithic La Hoguette culture that is found mainly in association with Linearbandkeramic or Limburg pottery in Northern France, The Netherlands, Alsace and Western Germany. It is believed to ultimately derive from the Mediterranean Cardial-Traditions. Important sites of the La-Hoguette culture include Stuttgart-Wilhelma, Dautenheim and Godelau.

The La Hoguette pottery was found under a later megalithic tomb and first misidentified as Linearbandkeramic. La Hoguette marks the westernmost point of the distribution of this culture. The place name La Hoguette is believed to derive from the Old Norse word Haugr meaning a knoll or a hill.[2]

gollark: They're used in a lot of places where there's no fixed line networking available, as far as I know.
gollark: I should create a random folder filled with a few thousand files so I can seem productive.
gollark: I guess the advantage is that it has GPIO pins? But you can... buy microcontrollers, very cheaply.
gollark: "Recent" meaning "made within about 15 years". Excluding really bad atoms I guess.
gollark: Any recent x86 thing will be more powerful than the pi anyway.
