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）和定居点发展之间的相互依存关系将使用跨学科方法进行研究。这将通过对两个典型定居点（“Im温克尔”和“Lungenkärchen”）进行挖掘和勘探以及对其周围环境进行详细调查来进行。初步结果在一个国际同行小组面前展示，作为由提案申请人组织的“艾菲尔高地的罗马土地使用-新的补充和补充”会议的一部分。从那时起，六篇关于罗马Segbachtal的论文目前正在印刷中，这些论文将被列入今年出版的会议论文集。这些结果与两个别墅群的大小和外观及其基本发展阶段有关。这两个定居点实体可以直接连接到磨石生产和经济好转。这一点尤其明显，通过观察，塞巴赫塔尔作为一个整体包含一个异常丰富的别墅景观。此外，已经完成了对各有关地区耕地面积的初步计算。要求的第三年项目将以这些结果为基础，对挖掘工作进行解释。考古学、动物园考古学、植物学、地球物理学和土壤科学研究也将结束。仍然悬而未决的中心问题包括罗马土地使用的开始，扩张的最大时期，世纪危机的影响，以及古代晚期Segbachtal的滚动。在与石材行业建立了密切的联系之后，与马延陶瓷作坊的关系现在也受到质疑。从花粉分布图中可以看到森林被大量利用的客观证据。此外，对这两座别墅的陶瓷产地的研究将提供有关区域市场从魏森图姆陶瓷向马延陶瓷转变的信息。对各个研究的全面综合将导致对塞巴赫塔尔的农业和林业潜力进行总结性的、按时间顺序区分的评估。另一个步骤是综合增值税研究所的可比研究结果。最后，通过计算马延的磨石采石场和vicus的人口，将澄清当地农业经济是否能够维持工业区的问题。项目的完成得到了区域、区域内和国际学术网络的支持，这是上述会议和与研究机构VAT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.
