Slight update
My mouse is driving me nuts, this is about the 6th attempt to write this with this f.....
thingy cutting, copying an pasting at its own "will". Well -- and erasing, where it should store the message. :mad:
O.K. Let's try it till it works.
A few things that got beyond under my "Google-Alert":
1) There is a note on the onset of the excavation campaign by the end of July -- so far so well (known).
Here:
http://www.live-region.de/index.php?id=1676
But two sentences are really interesting:
"Untersucht wird auch die mögliche Marschrichtung der Legionäre vor über 1.750 Jahren. Sprach man anfangs noch von einer Nord-Süd-Bewegung, so wäre laut Dr. Petra Lönne inzwischen auch denkbar, dass sich die Römer in West-Ost-Richtung auf dem Kamm des Harzhorn bewegten und vereinzelt in Hinterhalte gelockt wurden."
That means that the course of movement of this roman expeditionary forces are going to be re-assessed. Were they certain about a north-south movement of the Romans, they are now taking an alternative route east-west along the crest of the Harzhorn into account,
with a number of ambushes along the way.
2. More has been published on that subject (In German):
a)http://www.theiss.de/index.html?/detail....nhaltsverz
A 4-pager by the author.
b) Definitely more here:
Berichte zur Denkmalpflege in Niedersachsen Heft (=Issue) 1/2011 (In German)
Two publications on the subject:
First a report by Lönne/Geschwinde on the campaigns of 2009 and 2010.
With a roster of 16 essays in all in this issue, chances are that this may be hardly much more than the usual 2-pager that has been published by them from time to time.
Much more interesting should be the report of Dr. Horst Caliess on "Historical reasonings
about the roman-germanic Battlefield at the Harzhorn."
I'm still in the process of deciding whether to buy that volume or not.
Reporting back in case of news.
Simplex
I'd like to add here that the essay mentioned under b) obviously had a predecessor:
http://www.kalefeld.de/documents/200420091402083437.pdf
a 4-pager in .... ahhmmm you guessed it .... German. :mrgreen:
From "Berichte zur Denkmalpflege in Niedersachsen, 1/2009 ".
For a change-- one in english :
