The Elsfleth-Hogenkamp beach market during the Roman Iron Age and Migration Period. Interdisciplinary surveys undertaken to determine its settlement and economic structures and topographical changes in the first millennium AD

最近对埃姆斯河和威悉河下游沿着登陆地点和海滩市场的研究，为罗马铁器时代和移民时期德国西北部的经济和社会组织提供了许多新的信息。在这方面特别重要的是亨特河流入威悉河的地区，那里有许多定居点，适合船只登陆，并有参与跨区域贸易的证据。其中，Elsfleth-Hogenkamp遗址尤为重要，因为在那里发现了极其广泛的高质量金属物体。作为博士论文的一部分，对这些材料进行的最新分析证实，在公元第一个千年的上半叶，存在着跨区域的贸易联系和有色金属工匠的密集活动。这个定居点的建筑物外观及其结构组织在很大程度上仍然未知，因为发现的材料主要是从表面收集或通过金属探测器发现的。因此，这里申请的项目主要集中在地球物理和土壤学调查，以及考古学和陶瓷科学分析，这将有助于澄清遗址地区的保护条件，并确定发现和特征反映了哪些活动。此外，冶金分析将确定现场使用的是何种工艺、加工金属的来源以及现场生产的是何种货物。通过包括发现材料和记录，从其他网站的类似年龄在附近，Elsfleth-Hogenkamp网站的作用，在当地的解决模式也将进行分析。

Recent research on landing places and beach markets along the lower reaches of the Rivers Ems and Weser has yielded much new information about the economic and social organisation of north-western Germany during the Roman Iron Age and Migration Period. Of particular significance in this respect is the area where the River Hunte flows into the Weser, where a number of settlements are known with places suitable for ships to land and evidence of participation in supra-regional trade. Among these, the Elsfleth-Hogenkamp site is especially important because an extremely broad spectrum of high-quality metal objects was found there. The latest analysis of this material, undertaken as part of a PhD thesis, confirms both the existence of supra-regional trade contacts and intense activity by non-ferrous-metal craftsmen throughout the first half of the first millennium AD. The appearance of the buildings in this settlement and their structural organisation are still largely unknown since the find material was mainly collected from the surface or found by metal detectors. The project being applied for here therefore concentrates principally on geophysical and pedological investigations, together with archaeological sondages and scientific analyses of ceramics, which will help clarify the preservation conditions in the area of the site and determine what activities are reflected in the finds and features. In addition, metallurgical analyses will determine what crafts were practiced on the site, the origin of the metals worked and what goods were produced on the site. By including the find material and records from other sites of similar age in the vicinity, the role of the Elsfleth-Hogenkamp site within the local settlement pattern will also be analysed.
