Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The conjunction of event history data with archaeological features or their interpretation has been a central research concern since the beginnings of provincial archaeology. This course bears this matter in mind and primarily considers so-called dated sites which constitute a key position in the research of the Roman period in the north-westerly provinces of the imperium Romanum.
Features and findings, research history as well as historical interpretation etc. of selected dated sites will be presented. Special attention will also be drawn to the chronological and interpretational integration of these sites in so-called horizons and their contextualisation in Ancient History.
Before this methodical background, selected case studies such as Dangstetten (DE), Oberaden (DE), Haltern (DE), Magdalensberg (AT), Hofheim (DE), Colchester/Camulodunum (GB), Windisch/Vindonissa (CH), Newstead (GB), Niederbieber (DE) etc. shall, on the one hand, illustrate the historical classification and interpretation of archaeological sites in general while, on the other hand, impart for future provincial archaeologists this essential specific knowledge of these aforementioned sites which are very relevant to the subject.

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The students will become acquainted with the possibilities, difficulties and limitations regarding the handling of dated sites or provincial archaeological horizons and their historical interpretation. The genesis or usage of termini technici of the provincial archaeological research such as "Haltern-horizon", "Hofheim", "coin spectrum", "Pompeii-premise" or "type Niederbieber" shall become comprehensible to the student. In addition, before the background of selected dated sites, the course will impart provincial archaeological basic knowledge regarding specific features (e.g. military and civil architectures in wood and/or stone, burnt and destruction layers) and findings (special imported goods, militaria, coins) as well as historical events or processes (Roman expansion politics on the right bank of the Rhine, fall of the upper-Germanic-Raetic Limes, inter alia).
