The finds strongly suggest that the objects, like e.g. flint stone axes and decorated pieces of pottery, were intentionally thrown into the well. Therefore, this site is a rare example of a sanctuary of the Linear Pottery Culture. The site was used for a long time, because also objects made of Bronze and Iron were found.
