Best travel options:Modelling Roman and early-medieval routes in the Netherlands using a multi-proxy approach.

During the Roman and early-medieval period in the Netherlands, an extensive network of routes connected settlements on the local, regional and supraregional scale. The orientation of these route networks in part was determined by settlement locations, and in part by environmental factors (e.g. soil type, relief). Therefore these route networks provide a key in understanding the dynamic interplay between cultural and environmental factors. This study focuses on modelling Roman and early-medieval routes using a multi-proxy approach. By combining network friction with archaeological data represen... Mehr ...
