Kleos Issue 5 | 2022 The fifth Kleos issue is out, our first lustrum issue! We are proud to present the work of starting scholars of (r)Ma and PhDlevel. This issue also is a special one: it does not only contain regular Kleos papers, but also the proceedings of the conference ‘Narrative and Storytelling in Archaeology’. With no precise intention in the original selection of the papers, both the conference and regular articles share the theme of ‘narrativity’. Covering a wide range of subjects, the papers range from the application of this concept in the field of archaeology to classics.

ANALECTA PRAEHISTORICA LEIDENSIA

Pieter van de Velde in memory of prof.dr P.J.R. Modderman An analysis and statistical comparison of the ceramics from 23 LBK sites in the Netherlands resulted in a chronological scheme based exclusively on the evolution of the pottery decoration. This scheme is meant to replace the Modderman 1970 scheme, which mixes heterogeneous data sets. My analyses consistently point to spatula forms, zonation and components of the decoration, and complexity of the rim decoration as indicators of the evolution of the pottery decoration over time. Chronological ordering of the fi nds yields the important result that the earliest LBK sites in the Netherlands occur on both sides of the Meuse River, equal scores suggesting a single colonization event. The ordering also suggests a slightly later end to the Dutch LBK than the closure of the Elsloo cemetery; again, 'latest' fi nds occur on both sides of the Meuse River. The quantitative distribution of the fi nd units on the chronological axis confi rms the division into two periods of the north-western LBK.

Romans in the Netherlands (5th-21st Century)

2007

In the western section of the town of Utrecht, the Netherlands, 30000 houses have been planned within a region that, almost 2000 years ago, was part of the frontier (the “Limes”) of the Roman Empire. Much effort is being put into the excavation and identification of parts of the buildings, roads and other objects belonging to the Limes. At the same time, in the south-eastern corner of the Netherlands, near the city of Maastricht, archaeologists, historical geographers and planners are discussing ways to visualise the long-lost Roman road from Boulogne to Cologne. Both projects take place in multi-layered historic landscapes that are characterised by medieval and more recent structures. The emphasis on Roman structures that have almost completely vanished underlines the continuing interest in the Roman Period. The present article shows that this fascination with the Romans has a long history and has influenced the cultural landscape during different periods.
