| The ancient quarrying and mining district of the Eastern Eifel has been the
subject of research by the Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum (RGZM) in Mainz and
Mayen since 1997. The products ¿ primarily basalt lava millstones, tuff stone
building material, and pottery ¿ were extensively traded throughout much of Europe
for many centuries. An extensive research programme was launched to examine the
wealth of evidence about the ancient stone industry in the region and its signifi
cance for the political establishment of Rome north of the Alps. The main subjects
were the basalt and tuff stone industries as well as the Mayen vicus, the most
important economic centre. Another subject is the pottery production, which is
researched by material studies as well as by experimental archaeology. Other studies
deal with the preconditions for the economic success, focussing on the
infrastructure and the rural settlement conditions. Being an industrial district of
supraregional importance, the quarrying and mining district of the Eastern Eifel
turned out an excellent case study for the investigation of pre-modern industrial
districts in general, providing a model for the study of ancient industries: these
need to be investigated with a long-term view and with a holistic approach, taking
into account economic, social and settlement aspects. |
