  2. Roman #Tubuli and #ancientwallheating
    This week we present #roman finds from an #excavation in Lower #Austria: Roman tubuli (#Tubulus). These hollow bricks are key to #ancienttechnique, built into walls to circulate hot air. Together with the #Hypokaustum, they created heated rooms, especially in Roman #baths. #Romanarchaeology #archaeology

  7. Exploring the secrets of the Roman Empire’s leather economy

    A pioneering research project is expected to challenge current understanding of the leather economy of the Roman Empire, which has received little attention despite being central to ancient civilization, from military logistics to trade and daily life...

  9. Fabian Benedict is actually responsible for #geophysics at Novetus. But for the #excavation of the #Roman mass grave in #Hasenleitengasse, he left his high-tech tools behind and swapped them for a hoover.

  10. CW: Human remains

    Ian Lindner has been working in field #archaeology in #France and #Austria for over 30 years. For us, he is usually out and about in the city on projects in collaboration with the #urbanarchaeology department of the City of #Vienna. As an experienced excavation worker, he was also responsible for uncovering and finely cleaning the #skeletons in #Hasenleitengasse

  11. Maria Wiegele was also part of the excavation team at the #Roman mass grave in #Hasenleitengasse in #Vienna where she was responsible for the fine cleaning of the #skeletons. As a student of #anthropology, she also has a good knowledge of human anatomy.

  12. A beautiful selection of colourful #Roman glass vessels, including bowls, flasks, & pots. all made 1700-2000 years ago - they have survived in remarkable condition! On display in the Kunsthistorisches Museum (Vienna) #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology #AncientGlass @drjeball.bsky.social

  13. For #Findsfriday, we would like to present a #pyxis from #Roman #Arelape (#Pöchlarn). This is a rare find made of bone, possibly even #ivory. The small box with the perforated lid was probably not yet finished, as the inside is still quite roughly moulded. Pyxids were storage containers for ointments and powders and can be counted as part of a woman's personal equipment in Roman times.

    The object is exhibited in #Stadtmuseum Arelape Bechelaren.

  15. For #Findsfriday, we have a find from the #Roman #massgrave in #Vienna, #Simmering. It consists of several scales of Roman #scalearmour, also known as lorica squamata. Scale armour appears in our region from the year 100, influenced by #cavalry #soldiers from the east of the empire.
    What is particularly interesting is that the scales from the Hasenleitengasse have square perforations - unusual, as these holes are normally round
