Dwelling Mounds and beach ridges in Butjadingen/ southern North Sea Coast - Settlement Dynamics in an area of coastal progradation during the Roman Iron Age (BUT)

北方布特亚丁根位于翡翠湾和威悉河口之间，在罗马铁器时代具有向海延伸的海岸线。海岸线扩张之后是定居点。由于居民更喜欢天然堤坝，至少在三个海滩山脊上有一系列可追溯到1/2世纪和3/4世纪的居住土丘。该项目旨在研究海岸扩张和定居发展的时间和空间连锁。它侧重于人们正在适应的古环境情景的年代地层重建。这将通过评估档案数据和进行考古和地球科学实地工作（地球物理勘探、取芯、定居点周围的采石场和年代测定）进行研究。研究选择了Langwarden和Seeverns之间10平方公里的区域。在这一地区，所有的定居阶段都有代表，沿海地区延伸得最广，此外，还进行了广泛的初步和准备工作。

The northern Butjadingen, which is situated between Jade Bay and Weser Estuary, is characterized by a seaward prograding coastline during the Roman Iron Age. The coastline progradation is successively followed by settlements. As dwellers prefer the natural levees, at least on three beach ridges a chain of dwelling mounds is situated dating to the 1st/2nd and to the 3rd/4th century. The proposed project aims to study the chronological and spatial interlocking of coastal progradation and settlement development. It focusses on the chronostratigraphic reconstruction of paleo-environmental scenarios people are adapting to. This will be studied by evaluation of archive data and conducting archeological and geoscientific fieldwork (geophysical prospection, corings, quarries around the settlement and datings). For the study, an area of 10 km2 between Langwarden and Seeverns has been chosen. In this area all settlement phases are represented, the prograded coastal area is extended most widely and, moreover, extensive preliminary and prepatory work was conducted.
