51215.18.01 Bericht Teil A - Römische Fundzone Wispl

Within the framework of the project "Modeling Roman Rural Landscapes" of the Department of Classical Archaeology at the University of Vienna, which is dedicated to the exemplary research of rural settlement in selected areas of the province of Noricum on the territory of today's county of Upper Austria, a geophysical prospection was carried out within the city of Wels in the "Roman find zone Wispl." The company ARDIG – Archäologischer Dienst GmbH did all measurements on 22-23 November 2018 in close cooperation with the citizen-science-association Römerweg Ovilava. Since the field walking activities planned could not be accomplished due to the actual land cover of the investigation area in 2018. Therefore, together with the association Römerweg and the company Archaeo Perspectives, in the following year, on 15.11.2019, based on the results of the geophysical measurements, a systematic archaeological field walking survey and detector survey were carried out. The aim of this activity was the closer investigation of a selected area of the immediate surroundings of the ancient town of Ovilava.
