The declared aim of this research-excavation was to relocate the exact position of an earlier, unfinished excavation trench from the eve of World War II, an enhancement of a larger section immediately around it for a modern, state-of-the-art investigation of the burial ground including aDNA-extraction, and finally a monitoring of the present-day preservation conditions for human remains. The excavations started off with a 12.5 x 12 m large trench roughly centring on the 1939-trench. Observation conditions were hindered due to a very heavy bioturbation caused by resident moles and root voles. Most of the features were about ENE-WSW orientated graves with nailed coffins and without grave goods. The overwhelming majority, however, did not feature preserved human bones. It was attempted to compensate this circumstance methodologically by a consequent soil sampling at the bottom of the grave-pits in hope to catch some putrid juice suitable for aDNA-analysis. Also from three of the main profiles soil samples were taken for further soil-chemical analysis in order to follow up the question for the prevailing erratic preservation conditions. A minor supplementary trench of 3 x 5 metres was opened next to the main excavation area from 1900-1912. Here, the preservation conditions proved to be far better. All-in-all, 69 features were recorded during the excavations. The encountered artefact-spectrum was vast and the finds reach as many as 12,000 entities. For the moment post-excavation work as e.g. digitalisation, GIS, aDNA- and material analysis are ongoing. &nbsp; Themenbereiche Mensch und Gesellschaft \u00a0\u00a0 Forschungsschwerpunkte Research Cluster Hedeby, Slesvig and beyond Mitarbeiter Docent Dr. Sven Kalmring &nbsp; &nbsp; In Kooperation mit Museum f\u00fcr Arch\u00e4ologie Stiftung Schleswig-Holsteinische LandesmuseenSchloss Gottorf Arch\u00e4ologisches Landesamt Schleswig-Holstein","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/zbsa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image_preview-2-240x300.jpeg"}
