Chiemgau in Southern Germany contains a 4500yo crater field which was largely brought to scientific light just this decade and largely investigated by what we fondly know as "amateurs" --quiet capable and serious amateurs I might add. These appears to be a perfect marriage of amateur and academic cooperation.

Their thoroughness is a hallmark to achieve in future investigation.
Documentation for this crater field is top notch and has been presented in detail at this website.

The PDF file at this link is deserving of book status and contains amongst other things, photos of bone and hair samples suggesting the Chiemgau impactor was indeed a very large hammer.

Are any of the CIRT members also members of this list? IF so please speak up and take a bow!!
