Propylaeum

This volume publishes the excavation report on a 10th to 13th century farmstead near Mönchengladbach-Wanlo in the administrative district of Düsseldorf. The excavation revealed a section of a typical of typical High Medieval rural settlement with loosely scattered structures in the form of ground-level post buildings and with one type of building set into the ground, accompanied by pits, two wells and a type of oven common in the Rhineland. The farmstead area, enclosed by ditches, was located on an old pathway east of the upper Niers, about halfway between the former knights' residences in Wanlo and Keyenberg to the south.
