Some news update for the Hedemünden camp, translated from Göttinger Tageblatt:

In the vicinity of the Roman camp at Hedemünden the Göttinger Kreisarchäologie (county archeology) has found two bigger, hitherto unknown external camps. Therewith, archeologist Klaus Grote is sure, the Hedemünden camp was more than only a punctual camp, but a proof for a complex Roman presence in the Hedemünden area. At the now found fortified posts on the opposing side of the river Werra and towards the village Mollenfelde in view to the main camp Grote expects many more finds. The road system and both external camps are a fundamental and archeo-historically most important addendum to the discovery of the Roman camp, says Grote.
The archeologists found the outposts while identifying the former marching routes of the Romans by means of a multiplicity of sandal nails. At one of the ways a completely preserved typical legionary weapon was found: a dagger with a length of 29 centimeters, meanwhile restaurated.
