Funeral Culture and Funerary Architecture at the Northern Wetteraulimes: The Southern Necropolis of the Arnsburg Limes Fort
Excavation at the southern necropolis of the Limes fort Arnsburg
In autumn 2019, archaeological investigation commenced on a funerary monument with a central burial located south of the Arnsburg Limes fort. This initiative followed the evaluation of a new aerial photograph and subsequent geophysical prospection. From August 10 to 28, 2020, students from JLU Giessen participated in the excavation of a burial structure, featuring a so-called bustum burial, at the necropolis of the Limes fort 'Alteburg' Arnsburg near Lich-Muschenheim (district of Giessen).
