Battlefield Archeology at Gelduba - Simplex - 05-02-2018 l.......that is modern Krefeld-Gellep (D). What had been planned as a routine "quick 'n dirty" survey near a Roman camp at a building-site at Gellep, turned out to become one of the bigger excavating efforts in Germany nowadays. http://www.rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/krefeld/die-strasse-der-roemer-wird-sichtbar-aid-1.7024541 First a roman road showed up ....and the some ! http://www.rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/krefeld/blitz-grabung-foerdert-einzigartiges-zu-tage-aid-1.7417655 As it turned out they have excavated more than 35.000 square meters. http://www.rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/krefeld/sensationsfunde-bei-grabungen-in-gellep-aid-1.6895376 The whole process yielded more that 75 cubic metres ( not cubic feet ! ) up to now. http://www.rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/krefeld/krefeld-roemer-relikte-in-gellep-gefunden-museum-sortiert-muenzen-helme-tote-pferde-aid-1.7550263 Yes that is a grave-/bone yard that is amongst germanys largest of this kind a site. http://www.rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/krefeld/krefeld-relikte-aus-der-roemerzeit-im-museum-burg-linn-bid-1.7550276#a Bachground: This is a battlefield firmly dated to 69AD. Romans versus "rebelling" Batavians. All news written in german -- but there are pics , and ..... They will need quite a while to asses what they have found there by now, but there will be a special exhibition the nearby museum Burg Linn. https://www.krefeld.de/de/museum-burg-linn/41-museum-burg-linn Greez Simplex RE: Battlefield Archeology at Gelduba - Flavivs Aetivs - 05-08-2018 This is awesome news. RE: Battlefield Archeology at Gelduba - Simplex - 05-08-2018 The most recent find: The remains of the central arch of the southeastern gate. (Actually already predicted to be found thereabouts.) It's from the High Empire era and was dismantled in the times of Constantine (Coinage dated) and reused for the late-roman fort there. https://rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/krefeld/roemischer-torbogen-in-gellep-entdeckt_aid-22490517 3 pics : 1) In situ 2) Model-overview 3) Plan Greez Simplex RE: Battlefield Archeology at Gelduba - Currahee Chris - 05-11-2018 Thank you for posting this!!!
