Excavation of a settlement of the Przeworsk Culture in the Central German Südharzvorland

该研究项目的目的是分析铁器时代晚期(约公元前200-50年)普热沃斯克文化的一组聚落。这些布景位于德国中部的S地区，远离波兰南部和中部普热沃斯克文化的主要分布区。我们研究的重点是移民本身的重建，以及可能的适应和文化适应过程。该项目由三个部分组成：1)大规模挖掘定居点Leimbach 5；2.)对当地人口和移民的10处遗址进行考古勘探；戈尔斯尔斯本聚落发现分析。申请的目的是继续和终止实地工作及其分析，直至最后出版。整个13.400平方米的定居点都打算开挖。莱姆巴赫定居点的材料将从广泛的方法论角度进行分析。对陶瓷发现的统计分析以及20个放射性碳测年结果将提供有关沉降持续时间的信息。科学研究从出土的动物骨骼的考古分析到植物遗骸的古植物学分析，再到陶瓷的考古计量学分析，意在找出当地和新移民在经济战略上的异同。对动物牙齿和骨骼的同位素分析应提供有关动物可能进入S的信息和动物总体流动性的信息。虽然Leimbach的定居点在Latène D1(公元前50年左右)结束，但已经开挖的Gorsleben定居点也是该项目的一部分，其主要阶段将在下面的Horizont GroúRomstedt进行。这两种方案的比较对该工程具有重要的参考价值。将与一位波兰同事一起组织一次关于普热沃斯克文化定居点的会议。这将有助于弄清北图林根聚落堡垒普热沃斯克文化作为一个整体的意义。该项目是对迁徙考古研究的重要贡献。

The aim of the research project is the analysis of a group of settlements of the Przeworsk Culture of the Late Iron Age (c. 200-50 BC). These settelments lie in the central german Südharzvorland far away from the primary distribution area of the Przeworsk-Culture in southern and central Poland. The focus of our research ist the reconstruction of the migration itself and possible processes of adaption and acculturation. The project has three parts: 1.) large scale excavation of the settlement Leimbach 5; 2.) archaeological prospections on 10 sites of the local population and the migrants; 3.) analysis of the finds of the settlement of Gorsleben. The application aims towards the continuation and the termination of the field work and its analysis up to the final publication. In the whole 13.400 square meter of the settlement are intended to excavate. The materials from the Leimbach settlement are to be analysed in a broad methodological perspective. The statistical analysis of the ceramic finds together with 20 radiocarbon datings shall yield informations about the duration of the settlement. Scientific research from the archaeozoological analysis of the animal bones excavated and the palaeobotanical analysis of plant remains up to the archaeometrical analysis of ceramics intend to work out similarities and differences in economic strategies of the local and the new settlers. Isotope analysis of animal teeth and bones shall yield informations about a possible import of animals into the Südharzvorland and about animal mobility in general. While the settlement of Leimbach ends with Latène D1 (c. 50 BC), the already excavated settlement of Gorsleben which is also part of the project has its main phase in the following Horizont Großromstedt. The comparison of these two settlements is of great value to the project. A conference on the settlements of the Przeworsk Culture is going to be organized together with a polish colleague. It will help to work out the meaning of the north thuringian settlements fort he Przeworsk Culture as a whole. The project is an important contribution to archaeological research on migration.
