Een Romeins militair perceel bij Valkenburg Marktveld: Een nieuwe beschouwing

Bachelor thesis | Archeologie (BA)

This research is the follow-up of a research previously carried out on the structures and traces of the Valkenburg Marktveld excavation. These have been in part re-examined in order to make the findings more up to date. For this research the original excavation documentary has been utilised. The publications by the original excavators and the books and article by Robert van Dierendonck have been used as the current standard. New research has been used and compared to the old data, such as the 2018 article of rural granaries by Javier Dominguez. A summary of Dutch Roman military granaries has been compiled. This list has been used to compare the different granaries and to test their capacity, using several methods. Three new methods are proposed and one of these methods is also tested. For the first time, the wells of the military area have been examined in some detail. The results show relative late dates, that indicate a use in the second century AD.
