Vulci (Viterbo Province, Italy) was one of the most important Etruscan city-states in the 1st millennium b.c. and became a Roman city in 280 b.c. The habitation site had over 1500 years of continuous life and a very large funerary area around the volcanic plateau. An international research cooperation investigated the site in 2014–2019 using remote...
Located in a bend of the river Weser near Höxter in eastern Westphalia (Germany), Corvey is one of the largest abandoned medieval towns in Central Europe. Excavations led by Hans-Georg Stephan between the 1970s and early 2000s revealed stone-walled cellars, a paved road and remains of a large church with cemetery (Stephan, 2000). Despite his semina...
Large parts of the urban layout of the abandoned Roman town of Bassianae (in present-day Serbia) are still discernible on the surface today due to the deliberate and targeted quarrying of the Roman foundations. In 2014, all of the town's intramural (and some extramural) areas were surveyed using aerial photography, ground-penetrating radar, and mag...
The potential of large-scale, non-invasive prospection methods has been widely recognized in archaeology in recent years. Their outstanding possibilities for the exploration of urban centres have been realised early on and applied at selected sites. The ‘ArchPro Carnuntum’ project stands out for its extensive investigation of a Roman provincial cap...
Turf and soil removal and storage are one of the most important aspects of archaeological excavation site management (Barker 1993, 129-30; Drewett 1999, 104-5; Collis 2001, 31-4, 56; Roskams 2001, 101-4). Considerable attention is paid by the standard excavation textbooks to spoil management in particular. Comparatively little attention, on the oth...
Bisher fehlten im deutschen Sprachraum probate Mittel zur Dokumentation praktisch erworbener archäologischer
Fähigkeiten. Die nunmehr vorliegende Adaption des in Großbritannien bereits breit in Verwendung stehenden „Archaeology Skills Passport“
für den deutschen Sprachraum versucht ein solches Mittel zu bieten. Der Pass ist einfach anzuwenden und i...
Zusammenfassung
Das konventionelle Bild von Archäologen über eisenzeitliche Ernährung wird hauptsächlich durch die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse aus archäologischen Funden, sowie durch archäobotanische und archäozoologische Analysen geprägt. Per Definition werden Nahrungsmittel jedoch in der Regel gegessen und sind daher nicht in ihrer ursprünglichen Fo...
Over the course of four years (2012–2015) the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archeology (LBI ArchPro), in collaboration with the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG) and on behalf of the provincial government of Lower Austria, has conducted the comprehensive, non-invasive archaeological pro...
Since 2010 the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project (SHLP) has undertaken extensive archaeological prospection across much of the landscape surrounding Stonehenge. These remote sensing and geophysical surveys have revealed a significant number of new sites and landscape features whilst providing new information on many previously known monuments. T...
Traditionally, ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) measurements for near‐surface geophysical archaeological prospection are conducted with single‐channel systems using GPR antennae mounted in a cart similar to a pushchair, or towed like a sledge behind the operator. The spatial data sampling of such GPR devices for the non‐invasive detection and investi...
The figurative representations of Early Iron Age Situlae Art (5th and 4th century BC) provide a priceless treasure of archaeological information. While the main focus of the research so far was paid mainly to the elaborated depictions of garments, the weapons of warriors or the hand position of pugilists, in this article less prominent figures shou...
Abstract This article presents a cost-effective and user-friendly method for three-dimensional documentation of excavations on the example of several years of research at Meillionydd (Wales). Documentation is one of the most important activities during an archaeological dig. Because deposits, which are destroyed by the progressive excavation activi...
Diplomarbeit In 2009, geophysical surveys were conducted in Rathcroghan, the place described as the royal seat of Ailill and Medb in medieval Irish texts. This work discusses whether the medieval descriptions of the royal residence ’Cruachan Aí‘ can be related to the results of this geophysical surveys and to other, excavated archaeological structu...
Im Sommer 2009 führte die Bangor University in Zusammenarbeit mit dem “Heather and Hillforts”-Projekt des Denbighshire County Council und der Universität Wien Grabungen in der früheisenzeitlichen Höhensiedlung Moel y Gaer in Llanbedr Dyffryn Clwyd in Nordostwales durch (Abb. 1). Die Grabung, die auch als Lehrgrabung für StudentInnen der beteiligten...
Archaeology is important. The Archaeological Interests of the Austrians This contribution presents the results of an opinion poll aimed at discovering the archaeological interests of the Austrian population. A randomly selected total of 500 people were interviewed between November 2013 and January 2014. The results are very satisfactory. 61 % of th...
