Ein „singendes“ Oarkasmodel aus dem Innsbrucker Stadtgraben (original) (raw)

KG Innsbruck, Hochmittelalter bis Neuzeit, Stadt (Friedhof, Ritschen)

Fundberichte aus Österreich 60/2021, 2024

Im Zuge der umfassenden Infrastrukturmaßnahmen der IKB (Innsbrucker Kommunalbetriebe AG) in der Innsbrucker Altstadt wurden von Seiten des Bundesdenkmalamtes umfassende archäologische Begleitmaßnahmen zum Schutz der unterhalb der modernen Schichten befindlichen Bodendenkmäler angeordnet. Die Maßnahme von 2021 ist die direkte Fortsetzung der Arbeiten von 2020, wobei sich die untersuchten Flächen ergänzen. Insgesamt wurden über 1,7 km Leitungsgräben betreut, die sich über das ganze Gebiet der Altstadt zogen und weiters größere Teilflächen im Bereich des Doms zu St. Jakob und der Ottoburg. Die Maßnahme untergliederte sich daher in vier Hauptbereiche, erstens die Ritschen, zweitens Baubefunde aus dem Bereich der Ottoburg, drittens des Domplatzes („West“ und „Süd“) und viertens des mittelalterlichen Friedhofs beim Dom zu St. Jakob. Zu den Highlights der herausgearbeiteten Befunde zählen einige der mittelalterlichen Grabfunde, wie Gagat- und Bernsteinperlen von Paternosterschnüren, Textilfragmente oder eine Millefiori-Kugel, ebenso mittelalterliche Baubefunde aus dem Bereich der Ottoburg, – hier wurden Teile der Stadtmauer, mittelalterliche Bodenniveaus, Befunde der Fleischbank und der alten Innkaserne freigelegt –, dann die Baubefunde alter Stadthäuser am Domplatz und zuletzt die Ritschen, die seit dem Mittelalter und bis in das 19. Jahrhundert hinauf die Abwasserent- und Löschwasserversorgung für Innsbruck garantierten. As part of the extensive infrastructure measures carried out by the IKB (Innsbrucker Kommunalbetriebe AG) in Innsbruck's old town, the Federal Monuments Office ordered comprehensive archaeological documentation to protect the archaeological monuments located below the modern layers. The 2021 measure is a direct continuation of the 2020 work, with the areas investigated complementing each other. In total, over 1.7 km of pipeline trenches were surveyed, covering the entire area of the old town as well as larger areas in the vicinity of St Jakob's Cathedral and Ottoburg Castle. The project was therefore divided into four main areas, the “Ritschen” (sewers), the building features from the Ottoburg area, the cathedral square (‘West’ and ‘South’) and the medieval cemetery next to St Jakob's Cathedral. The highlights of the excavated features include some of the medieval grave finds, such as jet and amber beads from medieval rosaries, textile fragments or a millefiori ball, as well as medieval building features from the Ottoburg area - parts of the city wall, medieval floor levels, features of the “Fleischbank” (butchers' and butchers' stalls ) and the old Inn barracks were uncovered here -, then the building features of old town houses on the cathedral square and finally the “Ritschen”, which had been the sewage system since the Middle Ages and into the 19th century.

"Ein Wassergraben als Ökoarchiv". Burg Lanzenkirchen

The castle of Lanzenkirchen, situated in the floodland of the river Leitha, was inhabited from the 12th to the 15th century AD. Initially surrounded by one water-moat, a second moat was constructed in the late 14th/early 15th century. The mainly presented archaeobotanical investigations focus on waterlogged macro- and microremains sampled in the former. Beside this, some aspects concerning the charred and mineralised plant remains sampled inside the main castle (“Kernwerk”) are discussed as well. The subfossil seeds/fruits yield information on the habitat around the moat: vegetation assemblages seem more or less constant due to regular interventions as clearing of shrubs and trees. Silting up continuously the situation changed drastically in the second half of the 14th century caused by serious floods. The palynological studies confirm these interpretations. Furthermore, they show a balanced relation between woodland and open land in the surroundings during the mentioned period. In total, the archaeobotanical spectra indicate the natural environment as well as agricultural activities, orchards/vineyards and grassland/pastureland. Moreover, the spectrum of analysed wood-remains support the reconstructed natural habitats beside the moat and differ from that of charcoal fragments (timber and firewood) found inside the main castle.

Irlbach-„Am Auwald“ – Ein Grabenwerk der Glockenbecherkultur?

J. Pechtl / T. Link / L. Husty (Hrsg.), Neue Materialien des Bayerischen Neolithikums. Tagung im Kloster Windberg vom 21. bis 23. November 2014. Würzburger Studien zur Vor- und Frühgeschichtlichen Archäologie 2 (Würzburg 2016) 127–137, 2016

In 2010 the already known ditched enclosure of Irlbach-„Am Auwald“ was excavated further. An additional 20 m of the inner ditch could be unearthed. Beside a third entrance remains of two palisades were excavated. Furthermore, it was possible to retrieve a large amount of pottery from the inner ditch, which will be presented in this article. Until recently, the site was attributed to the Altheim culture. The new findings do question this dating, since there are some objects that can hardly be found at other sites of the Altheim group. It might be possible to correlate some finds with the Bell-Beaker culture, although this is not a safe dating.

Kodikologisches zu den Sifre Tora. Zwei unveröffentlichte Torarollenfragmente aus Innsbruck

Protokolle zur Bibel, 2016

Two sheets of different Sifre Tora, one in leather, one in parchment, are published for the first time. A short introduction in the methods of the preparation of skins gives an insight in the process of leather and skin production. Then codicological aspects of Sifre Tora are discussed in connection with the presentation of the dates of the two sheets. The occurrence of the Pisqa be'emsa` Pasuq in Dtn 2,8b gives rise to a discussion of this masoretic problem.

Die Urnenfelderzeit im Ingolstädter Becken im Spiegel ihrer Bestattungen

Die Urnenfelderzeit im Ingolstädter Becken, 2022

The Paper discuss the time of the late bronze age in the Ingolstädter valley in Bavaria. We have large knowledge about this time and area, because there are big industry areas where many archaeological excavations had been made. It can be seen, that there had been nomadic herdsman, small farms and a bigger village in modern Zuchering which was the centre for trade and craftsmanship. The Society of Zuchering had been headed by a leader who descended from changing families. Beside the leader there was a sword-carrier, which was the only person in the village who was buried with a sword. The Position of the leader and the sword-carrier was hold mostly by man and only seldom by woman.
