Materialien zur Vor- und Frühgeschichte von Hessen
„Materialien zur Vor- und Frühgeschichte von Hessen“ (MVFH) ist published since 1976 by hessenARCHÄOLOGIE of the Landesamt für Denkmalpflege Hessen. The monographs and anthologies on topics of particular interest for the archaeology of Hesse aim mainly for a scientific audience and comprise for example PhD theses or research funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
From volume 32, the issues are not only published in print but also digitally and open access (freely accessible and free of charge). If all the necessary rights of use can be obtained, older volumes will also be gradually put online.

Die latènezeitliche Brücke mit Siedlung bei Kirchhain-Niederwald, Landkreis Marburg-Biedenkopf: Interdisziplinäre Forschungen zur eisenzeitlichen Siedlungslandschaft des Amöneburger Beckens
Between 2008 and 2012 hessenARCHÄOLOGIE uncovered a spectacular site of the later Iron Age in the northern Amöneburg Basin near Niederwald – the remains of a 21-metre-long wooden yoke-pile bridge that had served as a river crossing from around the middle of the 3rd to the middle of the 2nd century BC. It proved to be a stroke of luck that in 2011 400 m west of the bridge the remains of a contemporary settlement came to light, whose earliest traces date back to the Hallstatt period. The result of the in-depth interdisciplinary research, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), is a meticulous two-volume study that doesn’t just look at the local Iron Age remains, but draws a picture of the Amöneburg Basin during the 1st millennium BC in terms of landscape and settlement history.

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.
