Project details

Short description

The aim of the project, carried out in cooperation with the Bavarian State Office for Monument Protection (BLfD), is to quantify the settled areas in the immediate vicinity of Roman forts in Middle Franconia, belonging to Unesco world heritage. The non-destructive method of geophysical survey with a magnetometer (gradiometer) is applied. Since 2010, regular two-week campaigns have taken place in spring and autumn, during which students are involved in the surveying, the postprocessing of data and the interpretation of the results. The project thus combines research, monument protection and education.
Since 2010, BLfD funding
