Project details

Short description

Iron Age and Romans in the Rhenish low mountain ranges: research, teaching and monument preservation.

As part of the project "Diachronic Landscape Archaeology in Hunsrück and Eifel", the Institute for Prehistory and Protohistory conducts geomagnetic surveys and drone flights in the Eifel, Hunsrück, Westerwald and Taunus since spring 2015. These measurements are part of a cooperation between the Institute and the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage Rhineland-Palatinate, Directorate of State Archaeology, Koblenz. In addition to the aspects of research and preservation of monuments, the fieldwork serves the basic training of students on the technical equipment indispensable in today's field archaeology and thus represents an integral part of teaching.
