Papers by Michael Drechsler
The article is related to an ongoing (2022) ph.D. thesis at the University of Cologne, Archaeological Department, Archaeology of the Roman Provinces.
Text speech: German.
Steincheshof was identified as a Roman fort site through surveying in 2009 and investigated by trial trenching in 2010/2011. A first camp of 3.2 hectares from the Tiberian to Neronian period had no ascertainable solid buildings except for a wooden box well, some hearths partly constructed of millstone fragments, and various pits, one of them with a slight timber fixing. The unit stationed here is unknown. Not later than
the Vespasianic period, a second fort of 2,4 hectares was built on the same site. It had at least two types of long rectangular buildings, the narrower of which were the halftimbered troops’ quarters, which were completely renovated four times. Remarkable are the unusual room layout of Barrack A, where two living rooms had a common anteroom, and the well-preserved armguard found there. A vicus has been located and there is evidence for graves. The fort existed until at least A. D. 171 and presumably housed the cohors II civium Romanorum equitata, which had previously been garrisoned in Herwen (The Netherlands).
The text (in german) discusses the quantity and quality of student numbers, thesis themes and their chronological evolution from 1995 to 2015. The basical Data have been collected from the Websites of selected Archaeological Institutes.
