Archäologische Maßnahme Traismauer Pfarrgarten: Anthropologische Basisdaten

The archaeological measure described here was triggered by infrastructure renewal work in Traismaurer city center, which is mainly under monument protection and since 2021 also represents an integrated component of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Danube Limes." The archaeological excavation was carried out from 06.04.2022 to 02.05.2022 by the company ARDIG - Archäologischer Dienst GesmbH on behalf of EVN AG, the construction work in the investigation area was implemented by Leyrer + Graf Baugesellschaft m.b.H. All ground interventions were implemented and documented by the applicable guidelines of the Federal Monuments Authority (BDA). Still, complex as well as archaeologically relevant finds and features were not encountered during the activities. In the first step the construction activities were accompanied archaeologically in the parish garden area and the future southern pipeline route in the Stadtgraben and Kirchengasse within the framework of an excavation; in the second step, the same procedure took place at Kirchenplatz square. As shown by the excavations of the later 2010s in the Traismaurer very city center (the area of today's church square and the Roman camp commandant's office [principia]), a densely occupied burial zone was uncovered, whereby in the investigation area de facto no undisturbed burials were observed. Also, the excavations from the 2nd half of the 20th century showed that, in general, in certain sections, a massive recent taphonomic transformation of the archaeological features due to construction activities at the church site is to be expected. The excavations dealt with here were mostly in areas used for laying pipes since 1969, so only massively disturbed features were excavated, in some cases with highly dispersed human remains. Especially regarding the bioarchaeological find material, it is a matter of (multiple) dislocated deposits. Only the findings from a few individual stratigraphic units indicate the skeletal remains of individual inhumations, which, despite that, are not detectable from the results - burial pits or separate grave fills could not be found. Accordingly, only artifacts were encountered that must be addressed as "tertiary refuse" and are therefore directly integrated into the deposited matrix as (presumably medieval) background components but cannot be further meaningfully interpreted due to their dislocation. In the parish garden, on the other hand, various medieval to recent foundation wall sections of the parish garden wall and structural elements of a cellar room could be uncovered in the area of investigation. In the area of Kirchengasse and the Stadtgraben, recent pipe installations were also identified.本次记述的考古工作，由特赖斯毛尔（Traismaurer）市中心的基础设施翻新工程触发。该区域主要受古迹保护，自2021年起，更成为联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）世界遗产“多瑙河界墙（Danube Limes）”的一体化组成部分。本次考古发掘于2022年4月6日至2022年5月2日开展，由ARDIG - Archäologischer Dienst GesmbH公司受EVN AG委托执行；调查区域内的施工作业由Leyrer + Graf Baugesellschaft m.b.H.负责实施。所有地面施工干预活动均严格遵循联邦古迹管理局（BDA）的相关规范开展并记录，但本次工作期间未发现任何复杂或具有考古价值的遗物与遗迹。 本次工作分为两个阶段：第一阶段，考古人员伴随施工活动，对教区花园区域，以及城市壕沟（Stadtgraben）与教堂巷（Kirchengasse）内规划的南部管线路线开展发掘工作；第二阶段，相同的考古伴随施工流程在教堂广场（Kirchenplatz）区域实施。 2010年代后期在特赖斯毛尔市中心（即今日的教堂广场与罗马军团指挥部大楼[principia]区域）的发掘工作曾揭露出一处密集分布的墓葬区，但本次调查区域内未发现未受扰动的墓葬。此外，20世纪下半叶的发掘工作显示，总体而言，教堂场地因过往施工活动，部分区域的考古遗迹已发生严重的现代埋藏学改造。 本次发掘涉及的区域自1969年起多用于管线铺设，因此仅发掘到受严重扰动的遗迹，部分区域还存在高度分散的人类遗骸。就生物考古遗物而言，这些遗存均属于（多处）错位堆积。仅少量单个地层单位中发现了个体墓葬的骨骼遗存，但从发掘结果来看，无法确认这些遗骸的原始埋藏状态——既未发现墓葬坑，也未找到独立的墓坑填土。因此仅出土了可被归类为“三级废弃物（tertiary refuse）”的人工制品，这些遗物作为（大概率为中世纪时期的）背景组分直接融入堆积基质，但因位置发生转位，无法进行更具学术意义的解读。 而在教区花园区域，本次调查揭露出多段中世纪至近现代的教区花园围墙基础墙体遗迹，以及一处地下室房间的结构构件。在教堂巷与城市壕沟区域，还识别出现代管线安装遗迹。
