The study conducted by the UAB of more than 600 tools found in the northern area of the site indicate that the village had a complex composition and lasted many years, instead of merely being a site of temporary gatherings or a sanctuary

Trier developed into a major economic and political center in the Roman Empire’s northern provinces, which as a result saw extensive construction activity, including the widespread use of fired bricks. By analyzing stamps on preserved bricks, researchers from Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier, Goethe University Frankfurt, and the Leibniz-Zentrum für Archäologie (LEIZA) are investigating how the production and distribution of ancient building materials were organized in northern Gaul. The interdisciplinary project, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) with a grant of €340,000, will run for two years.
