Ditches along the Road
Abstract
In the article the authors present the results of the magnetometry survey campaign supporting the World Heritage nomination of the Hungarian section of the “Frontiers of the Roman Empire – The Danube Limes” between 2015 and 2017. During this task 116 hectares had been surveyed with geophysical methods alongside the Danube on elements of the Roman limes. Most of the features surveyed were temporary camps, watchtowers, settlements and the limes road itself on 65 archaeological sites. Even though more than 110 hectares had been surveyed, we are only scratching the surface of this enormous site complex. As the limes is comprehensible only at landscape-level, the opportunity to make large-scale surveys is very important. The opportunity to collect relevant data on that scale is crucial for research, so further surveys are needed.
