But due to their size, complexity and heterogeneity they are difficult to examine as a whole and therefore are still not understood in depth. Despite the long research history, which goes back to the early days of archaeology itself, surprisingly little is known about general trends of their development and questions about definition, terminology, chronology, typology, functions, or their role and interconnection within the wider cultural landscape. The diversity of the phenomenon manifests itself in the many terms fortifications are labeled with (i.e. hillforts, strongholds, enclosures, etc.).<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_2070\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2070\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/zbsa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image_content-2.jpeg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2070\" src=\"https:\/\/zbsa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image_content-2-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"Hillfort in Grobina, Latvia\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zbsa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image_content-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/zbsa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image_content-2-16x12.jpeg 16w, https:\/\/zbsa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image_content-2.jpeg 527w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2070\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hillfort in Grobina, Latvia (Foto: T.

As there is no common strategy for the investigation of fortifications their study needs a continuous exchange between researchers to develop individual approaches tackling the individual site with its biography and challenges.<\/p><p>As the interest in fortifications and their connections to phenomena like conflict, hierarchy, or trade, as well as their impact on the social and spatial organization grows, it becomes difficult to keep track of the almost uncountable number of related archaeological activities and affiliated publications.<\/br>\nHence there is a big need of exchanging knowledge on a Pan-European level by forming a platform for the exchange of experiences and knowlegde.<\/p><p>Against this background the ZBSA in 2018 initiated \u2013 in succession of the former ZBSA project \u201eBaltic Hillfort Network (BHN)\u201c - the \u201eCommunity on Fortification Research (COMFORT)\u201c in the frame of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) with the aim to:<\/p><ul><li>Offer a discussion platform and enlarge the network of fortification researchers<\/li><li>Identify current research issues<\/li><li>Implement joint investigation strategies<\/li><li>Contribute to the development of frameworks to interpret fortifications<\/li><li>Develop common documentation standards<\/li><li>Organise and coordinate sessions dedicated to the archaeology of fortifications and related structures at EAA Annual Meetings, particularly including sessions of general interest allowing for wide participation<\/li><\/ul><p>The project is closely connected to the ZBSA project \u201eForschungskontinuit\u00e4t und Kontinuit\u00e4tsforschung \u2013 Siedlungsarch\u00e4ologische Grundlagenforschung zur Eisenzeit im Baltikum\u201c.<\/p><div class=\"ms-editor-squiggler\" style=\"color: initial;

Da das Interesse an Befestigungsanlagen und ihren Verbindungen zu Ph\u00e4nomenen wie Konflikten, Hierarchien oder Handel sowie ihren Auswirkungen auf die soziale und r\u00e4umliche Organisation stetig w\u00e4chst, ist es schwierig, den \u00dcberblick \u00fcber die fast unz\u00e4hlige Zahl der damit verbundenen arch\u00e4ologischen Aktivit\u00e4ten und Publikationen zu behalten. Vor dem Hintergrund des hier skizzierten gro\u00dfen Bedarfes an europaweitem Wissenstransfer zu Befestigungsanlagen initiierte das ZBSA im Jahr 2018 &#8211; in Nachfolge des fr\u00fcheren ZBSA-Projekts &#8222;Baltic Hillfort Network (BHN)&#8220; &#8211; die &#8222;Community on Fortification Research (COMFORT)&#8220; im Rahmen der European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) mit dem Ziel: eine Diskussionsplattform zu etablieren und den Austausch von Informationen zur Burgwallforschung zu f\u00f6rdern aktuelle Forschungsfragen zu identifizieren gemeinsame Untersuchungsstrategien zu implementieren zur Entwicklung von Rahmenwerken zur Interpretation von Befestigungsanlagen beizutragen gemeinsame Dokumentationsstandards zu entwickeln Workshops und Sessions zur Arch\u00e4ologie von Befestigungen und verwandten Bauwerken bei den Jahrestagungen der EAA zu organisieren, die eine breite Beteiligung auch benachbarter Disziplinen erm\u00f6glichen Das Projekt ist eng mit dem ZBSA-Projekt &#8222;Forschungskontinuit\u00e4t und Kontinuit\u00e4tsforschung &#8211; Siedlungsarch\u00e4ologische Grundlagenforschung zur Eisenzeit im Baltikum&#8220; verbunden. \u00a0 Themenbereiche Mensch und Gesellschaft \u00a0\u00a0 Forschungsschwerpunkte Das ehemalige Ostpreu\u00dfen im Netzwerk baltischer Arch\u00e4ologie Mitarbeiter Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c.

Aufgrund ihrer Gr\u00f6\u00dfe, Komplexit\u00e4t und Heterogenit\u00e4t lassen sie sich jedoch nur schwer als Ganzes untersuchen und sind daher noch immer nicht umfassend erforscht. Trotz der langen Forschungsgeschichte, die bis in die Anf\u00e4nge der Arch\u00e4ologie selbst zur\u00fcckreicht, ist erstaunlich wenig \u00fcber allgemeine Entwicklungstendenzen und Fragen zu Definition, Terminologie, Chronologie, Typologie, Funktionen oder ihrer Rolle und Verflechtung innerhalb der arch\u00e4ologischen Kulturlandschaft bekannt. Die Vielf\u00e4ltigkeit des Ph\u00e4nomens zeigt sich in den vielen Bezeichnungen, mit denen Befestigungen benannt werden (z. B. Hillforts, Strongholds, Enclosures usw.).<\/p>\n[caption id=\"attachment_2070\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"https:\/\/zbsa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image_content-2.jpeg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/zbsa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image_content-2-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"Hillfort in Grobina, Latvia\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a> Burgwall in Grobina, Lettland (Foto: T.
