Aarhus: Jutland Archaeological Society pp. 389-416. Abstract: Ribe was one of a small number of emporia that emerged as hubs for maritime networks around the North and Baltic Seas from the seventh century onwards. Ribe itself, the earliest-known Danish town, appears to have developed in the eighth century. In 2017-2018, excavation of substantial parts of two settlement plots (plots 1 and 2) and the adjacent street frontage took place in what would have been a central part of the earliest town. Forty-four samples from deposits within and around buildings were submitted for insect extraction and analysis. Twenty-two samples produced significant numbers of identifiable remains.

摘要：里伯是公元7世纪起，环绕北海与波罗的海的海洋贸易网络核心枢纽中为数不多的早期贸易港之一。作为目前已知最早的丹麦城镇，里伯的雏形形成于8世纪。2017至2018年，考古团队对该早期城镇核心区域内的两处定居地块（1号、2号地块）及相邻街道临街区域的大部分区域开展了考古发掘。研究人员从建筑内部及周边的考古堆积中采集44份样品用于昆虫遗存提取与分析，其中22份样品获得了数量可观的可鉴定昆虫遗存。
