Economy
The economy was mixed. Full-scale agriculture was present, along with the keeping of domestic stock—pigs, goats, etc. The Baden culture has some of the earliest attestation of wheeled vehicles in central Europe, the so-called waggon-models in pottery. Finds of actual waggons have not been made, but there are burials of pairs of cattle that have been interpreted as draught animals.
