Abstract
AbstractThe aim of the PhD research on which this chapter is based is to reconstruct and analyse the cultural landscape of the Dutch limes area using computational approaches, specifically to model and analyse transport networks, settlement patterns and their relationship with the natural environment, to better understand the interactions between the Roman military population and the local population that lived in this frontier region. The goal of this chapter is to present the general results of this study and showcase the technical, methodological and interpretative aspects that it has contributed to the research field of computational archaeology and to the archaeological understanding of the Dutch part of the Roman limes.
Highlights
12.1.1 General IntroductionThe main aim of the ‘Finding the limits of the limes’ project is to reconstruct and understand the cultural landscape of the Dutch part of the Roman limes, looking at the spatial and economic interactions between the Roman military population and the local population
Formulated in a more general question, the goal of this chapter is as follows: what has this spatial analytical study of the cultural landscape of the Dutch limes area contributed to the research field of computational archaeology and related fields, and what has it contributed to the archaeological understanding of the Dutch part of the Roman limes? what are the prospects for future research?
The palaeogeographic analysis of the Dutch part of the Roman limes that is performed as a PhD study within the ‘Finding the limits of the limes’ project can be subdivided into three parts: firstly, a reconstruction of the natural palaeogeography of the Rhine-Meuse delta in the Roman period; secondly, a reconstruction and analysis of local transport networks; and thirdly, an analysis of settlement location in the landscape
Summary
The main aim of the ‘Finding the limits of the limes’ project is to reconstruct and understand the cultural landscape of the Dutch part of the Roman limes, looking at the spatial and economic interactions between the Roman military population and the local population. The general aim of this PhD study was to reconstruct and analyse the cultural landscape of the Dutch limes area using computational approaches; it models and analyses transport networks and settlement patterns and includes their relationship with the natural environment. This chapter will present the general results of the aforementioned PhD study and place it in the wider research context. It aims to showcase some of the innovative aspects of the study, either from technical, methodological or interpretative viewpoints. Formulated in a more general question, the goal of this chapter is as follows: what has this spatial analytical study of the cultural landscape of the Dutch limes area contributed to the research field of computational archaeology and related fields, and what has it contributed to the archaeological understanding of the Dutch part of the Roman limes? Formulated in a more general question, the goal of this chapter is as follows: what has this spatial analytical study of the cultural landscape of the Dutch limes area contributed to the research field of computational archaeology and related fields, and what has it contributed to the archaeological understanding of the Dutch part of the Roman limes? what are the prospects for future research?
