The project is devoted to an inter-disciplinary analysis of findings recovered between 1978 and 1995 below the church of the important imperial abbey of St Maximin, Trier. These finding stem from the late ancient and early medieval burial inventories in the cemetery basilica of the citys important Christian community. The dimensions and features of this burial hall, which was built in the fourth century and measured c. 62 x 17 m, can be explained by the patronage of the imperial court at Trier. The sequence of the places building history has already been established and the rich early Christian corpus of inscriptions analysed in recent research. Now the objects recovered from the burials in sarcophagi, including precious textiles, jewellery, and skeletal remains, will be analysed to investigate the burial rites, the social background and provenance of the dead, as well as Christian ideas concerning the afterlife and their changes between the fourth and seventh centuries.

该项目致力于对1978年至1995年在特里尔重要的圣马克西姆帝国修道院教堂下面发现的发现进行跨学科分析。这些发现源于该市重要基督教社区墓地大教堂的古代晚期和中世纪早期墓葬清单。这座建于世纪的墓葬大厅的尺寸和特征。62 x 17米，可以解释为特里尔帝国法院的赞助。这些地方的建筑历史顺序已经确定，最近的研究分析了丰富的早期基督教铭文语料库。现在，从石棺中发现的物品，包括珍贵的纺织品，珠宝和骨骼遗骸，将被分析以调查埋葬仪式，死者的社会背景和来源，以及基督教关于来世的思想及其在四世纪和七世纪之间的变化。
