Interdisciplinary studies concerning Roman land use in the environs of the ancient quarries and pottery centre near Mayen

与第一个提案相比，该项目的基本目标没有改变。景观历史，以及个体经济实体（磨石和陶瓷生产）与定居点发展之间的相互依存关系将采用跨学科的方法进行研究。这将通过挖掘和勘探两个典型的定居点（“Im Winkel”和“Lungenkärchen”）以及对其周围环境的详细调查来进行。作为“埃菲尔铁塔的罗马土地利用——新的发掘和研究”会议的一部分，初步结果在一个国际同行小组面前展示，该会议由提案申请人组织。从那时起，六篇关于Roman Segbachtal的论文正在出版中，它们将被收录在今年即将出版的会议论文集中。这些结果与两个别墅综合体的大小和外观以及它们的基本发展阶段有关。这两个定居点实体都可以直接与磨石生产和经济好转联系起来。通过观察Segbachtal作为一个整体包含了非常丰富的别墅景观，这一点尤为明显。此外，有关地区的耕地面积的初步计算已经完成。该项目的第三年将以这些结果为基础，对挖掘结果进行解释。考古、动物园考古、植物学、地球物理和土壤科学研究也将结束。仍然悬而未决的核心问题包括罗马土地使用的开始，扩张的最大时期，3世纪危机的影响，以及古代晚期塞格巴赫塔尔的滚动。在与石材工业建立了密切联系之后，与马延陶瓷作坊的关系现在也可以提出质疑。在花粉图中可以看到对森林的强化利用的客观证据。此外，对两栋别墅陶瓷的来源研究将提供有关区域市场上魏ßenthurm陶器向马延陶器转变的信息。对个别研究的全面综合将导致对塞格巴塔尔的农业和林业潜力作出结论性的、按年代区分的评价。另一个步骤是整合增值税研究所的可比研究结果。最后，当地农业经济能否维持工业区的问题将通过计算石磨采石场的人口和来自马延的vicus来澄清。项目的完成得到了区域、区域内和国际学术网络的支持，这是上述会议和与VAT研究所合作的结果。

When compared to the first proposal, the fundamental goals of the project have not changed. The landscape history, as well as the interdependence between the individual economic entities (millstone and ceramic production) and the development of the settlements is to be studied using interdisciplinary methods. This will be carried out through excavation and prospection of two exemplary settlement complexes ('Im Winkel' and 'Lungenkärchen') and a detailed survey of their immediate surroundings. Preliminary results were presented in front of an international group of peers as part of the conference 'Roman land use in the Eifel - new Excavations and Studies', which was organised by the proposal applicants. Since then, six papers about the Roman Segbachtal are currently in press, which will be included in the conference proceedings that will be published this year. These results are concerned with, among others, the size and appearance of the two villa complexes and their fundamental developmental phases. Both settlement entities can be directly connected to millstone production and the economical upturn. This is especially apparent through the observation that the Segbachtal as a whole contains an exceptionally rich villa landscape. Moreover, preliminary calculations of the cultivated areas from the respective areas of interest have already been completed. The requested third year of the project will build upon these results with the interpretation of the excavations. Archaeological, zoo archaeological, botanical, geophysical and soil science studies will also be concluded. Central questions that remain open include the beginning of Roman land use, the maximum period of expansion, the impact of the crisis in the 3rd century, and the roll of the Segbachtal in the late Antique. After the close connection to the stone industry was already established, the relationship to the Mayen ceramic workshops can also now be put to question. Objective evidence of an intensified use of the forests may be visible in the pollen diagrams. Moreover, provenience studies of the ceramic from both of the villas will provide information about the shift from Weißenthurm to Mayen wares in the regional markets.A comprehensive synthesis of the individual studies will lead to a concluding, chronologically differentiated evaluation of the agricultural and forestry potential of the Segbachtal. An additional step would be to integrate the results of comparable studies from the VAT research institute. Lastly, the question of whether the local agrarian economy could sustain the industrial district will be clarified using calculations of the population of the millstone quarries and the vicus from Mayen.Completion of project is supported by a regional, intraregional and international scholarly network, which came about as the result of the above mentioned conference and cooperation with the research institute VAT.
