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. Sadly, well 47 could not be dated more specific than between 75 and 260.Show less

Deze vondsten komen vrijwel uitsluitend uit voormalige waterlopen, de zogenaamde natte contexten. Langs de West-Nederlandse limes zijn bij Woerden en Bodegraven en in het Kanaal van Corbulo bij Leiden twee helmen en een gezichtsmasker gevonden. Het gezichtsmasker is als enige tijdens een opgraving gevonden, zodat precies bekend is wat er bij is gevonden en waar het precies lag. Deze vondstcontext is nader onderzocht om aan de hand hiervan de betekenis van de deposities van de andere vondsten in de regio te kunnen achterhalen.Show less
