Fundberichte aus Hessen, Beihefte
“Fundberichte aus Hessen, Beihefte” (Find reports from Hesse, Supplements; FbHeB) is published by hessenARCHÄOLOGIE of the Landesamt für Denkmalpflege Hessen. It presents research on archeology and paleontology in Hesse in the form of monographs – mainly selected university examination papers and dissertations – and anthologies. Introduced in 1969 and resumed after an interruption in 2006, a total of eleven volumes were published in printed form by 2018.
The supplements aim to publish research results promptly and as an inexpensive print product, with the systematic involvement of the authors in the preparation of the publication. From volume 12, a change in the publication mode takes effect: the volumes in question are first published digitally and open access (freely accessible and free of charge); a second publication in the print-on-demand process (digital printing) only occurs at the express request of the authors or, in the case of anthologies, by the editors. If all the necessary rights of use are granted by the authors, older volumes will also be gradually put online.

„Keltische Räume“ – Kern- und Kontaktzonen in Europa: Internationale Tagung im Rahmen des Keltenjahres „Kelten Land Hessen“ im Archäologischen Museum Frankfurt, 29.06.2022 – 01.07.2022
As part of the "Celtic Year" organised in Hesse in 2022, a three-day conference was held at the Archaeological Museum Frankfurt. 25 lectures presented current research on the similarities of and differences between Iron Age cultures in various regions of Europe. In each case, archaeological features typical of the region were named and compared with those of neighbouring regions in order to provide a basis for recognising cultural core, peripheral and contact areas during the Iron Age. The present anthology of the Frankfurt conference comprises 15 articles chronologically covering the Hallstatt and Latène periods and providing a suitable overview of the topic.
Die Kirche der Wüstung Baumkirchen (Laubach-Freienseen, Landkreis Gießen): Befunde und Funde der Grabungen 2004–2006
In the course of a research project on processes concerning the emergence and abandonment of medieval settlements in the Vorderer Vogelsberg, excavations were carried out from 2004 to 2006 on the church remains of the village of Baumkirchen near Laubach-Freienseen (district of Gießen) in Hesse, which has been deserted in the Late Middle Ages. This study deals with finds and features from the single-nave stone church and the surrounding area. According to the associated finds, the walls of the churchyard encompassed also secular buildings. Village and church were probably abandoned in the same period.
Die prähistorischen Auensiedlungen des Lahntals um die Gemeinde Weimar, Landkreis Marburg-Biedenkopf (Hessen): Archäobotanische und geoarchäologische Forschungen zum Wandel von Landwirtschaft und Umwelt zwischen Frühneolithikum und Mittelalter
30 years of excavations by the Hessian State Archaeology Department uncovered a considerable amount of pre- and early historic settlements in Marburg's Lahn Valley. This has fundamentally changed the former image of an inaccessible floodplain unsuitable for permanent settlement. This study provides a geoarchaeological perspective on our understanding of local settlement processes as well as archaeobotanical insights into developments in agriculture and of the environment between the Early Neolithic and the Middle Ages. The case study shows that the floodplains of low mountain rivers were no purely natural landscapes, but conceal cultural landscapes reaching far back into prehistoric times and therefore worthy of protection.
Archäologie und Recht II.: Wohin mit dem Bodendenkmal?
The anthology focuses on current issues where archaeology and jurisdiction intersect, particularly in dealing with archaeological heritage (e.g. scope and limits of private research, financing of archaeological rescue excavations, the circulation of archaeological finds, forms of administrative action in the preservation of archaeological monuments).
In addition to essays concentrating on the legal situation in Germany, several essays deal with the legal situation in other European countries. The aim is to enable readers to identify similarities and differences in the resolution of typical conflicts of interest in the field of archaeological heritage conservation in Europe.
