Die eisenzeitliche bis hochmittelalterliche Siedlung bei Fritzlar-Geismar, Schwalm-Eder-Kreis: Die Siedlungsbefunde aus den Grabungen der Jahre 1973–1980

From 1973–1980 excavations were conducted by the the Hessian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments at the site of "Alt-Geismar" near Fritzlar in northern Hesse. The settlement covered arguably up to 7 hectares and was continuously inhabited for more than one and a half millennia. Andreas Thiedmann’s scientific study presents and evaluates the settlement features of this important site for Hesse’s settlement archaeology. The comprehensive treatise illuminates the various aspects of living in a rural settlement and provides detailed insight into its development and supra-regional interactions from the Iron Age to the high Middle Ages.
