In 1988 B. Hahnel published a monograph dealing with a settlement at Buhuberg in Waidendorf. Buhuberg is a cone-shaped protuberance with a 160 x 90 m plateau and a descent on the north. On its western part there is a terrace protruding 3 m over adjacent fields. The plateau eastern side is declining from the 30 m height to the Morava River. The settlement cannot be considered the upland-type one because it was situated only on slightly undulating landscape. Its bloom is dated to the Věteřov culture period, but finds and radiocarbon dating put its 1st phase (phase 1) to the Únětice culture period. However, the finds dated to the Únětice culture were excavated also in higher layers and several pits belonging to this culture. Buhuberg is the only settlement site within the Moravia-Lower Austria group of the Únětice culture, on which horizontal stratigraphy of the Únětice and Věteřov cultures can be expected. B. Hahnel discovered 2 m high group of layers at the south-western part and a profile at the plateau western part revealed that the terrace were formed by gradual accumulation of the settlement layers on approximately 80 cm high knoll. At least this part of the settlement at Buhuberg can be assumed to be of the tell type.
