Again and again, interesting discoveries are made during archaeological excavations in Rheinhessen. This raises the question of whether there have also been exciting finds in the Harxheim district. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately, a modern archaeological excavation has never taken place in Harxheim. There are also only comparatively few archaeological sites documented in the Harxheim district, as a request to the Directorate of State Archaeology in Mainz revealed. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n The oldest finds in Harxheim date back to the Iron Age, which began in northern Central Europe around 750 BC. According to a 1980 report by the Department for the Preservation of Archaeological Monuments. <\/span>1) <\/span>two Iron Age funnel pit remains, 40 cm deep and each 1.5 – 2 m in diameter, were found in a long-distance trench on the southern edge of the site, lying close together. However, only crumbs of cottage clay could be recovered.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n Other finds date from the Lat\u00e8ne period (pre-Roman Iron Age, ca. 450 BC to the birth of Christ). In its 1915 issue, the Mainz magazine reported the discovery of a Lat\u00e8ne grave in a hollow north of Harxheim. The grave contained parts of a skeleton, around the shins were bronze buffer rings. In the early 1970s, remains of a Middle Lat\u00e8ne grave were discovered at 83 Bahnhofstrasse. In addition to broken bottles, an iron long sword and an iron spearhead were recovered <\/span>2).<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n Until about 460 n . Chr. and thus almost 500 years Mainz and thus also Rheinhessen belonged to the Roman Empire and the Romans have left numerous traces in our region. Throughout the rural area of Rheinhessen there were manor houses, so-called villae rusticae. These typically consisted of a manor house, outbuildings, and yard and farm areas, and were connected to a thoroughfare by a spur road. In the Bodenheim district there seem to have been at least three such estates <\/span>3)<\/span>, two villae rusticae could be proven in the Ebersheim area so far. <\/span>4)<\/span>.<\/span> It is therefore quite possible that a villa rustica also existed in the immediate vicinity of today’s Harxheim. This is indicated by sherd finds from the Middle Imperial period (117 – 284 AD), which also come from the long-distance ditch located on the southern edge of the village. <\/span>5)<\/span>. However, remains of an associated manor house have not yet been discovered.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”907.7px” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding=”||0px|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
