Description
Die von 1973 bis 2008 auf dem Gelände des nach 1529 wüstgefallenen Klosters Ihlow durchgeführten Ausgrabungen waren die ersten, die in Ostfriesland als Suche nach Antworten auf konkrete Fragen von Historikern unternommen wurden. Ihlow liegt auf einer Geestinsel bei Ludwigsdorf ca. 8 km südsüdwestlich von Aurich. Der Sammelband befaßt sich mit der archäologischen Topographie Ihlows [Schwarz], der früh- und hochmittelalterlichen Siedlung am Dachsberg [Schwarz], eichenen Krummhölzern vom Dachsberg, die als Unterzüge eines Fußbodens zweitverwendete Teile von Schiffsspanten waren [Ellmers] und archäologischen Ausgrabungen von 1973-2006, bei denen die nach 1270 gebaute Backsteinkirche, Klausur, Gräber, Wasserbauten und Baumaterialien dokumentiert und ausgewertet wurden [Brüggler]. Weitere Themen sind pollenanalytische Untersuchungen im Klosterbereich [Bittmann], dreizehn Skelette aus der Klosterkirche und ihre anthropologische Auswertung [Burkhardt], Ausgrabungen in der Klausur von 2006-2008 [Thiemann] sowie Geschichte und Bedeutung des Klosters Ihlow-Meerhusen [van Lengen].
Excavations conducted from 1973 to 2008 on the terrain of the former monastery of Ihlow, deserted after 1529, were the first ones in Eastern Frisia to be carried out in the quest for answers to concrete questions raised by historians. Ihlow is situated on a geest island near Ludwigsdorf some 8 km south-south-west of Aurich. This volume deals with the archaeological topography of Ihlow [Schwarz], the Early and High Medieval settlement on Dachsberg ["Badger's Hill", Schwarz], with bent oak timbers found on the Dachsberg that were identified as ship frames re-used as supports of a floor [Ellmers], and with archaeological excavations of 1973-2006 during which the brick church built after A.D. 1270, the cloister, some graves, the hydraulic installations, and the building material were documented and analysed [Brüggler]. Additional themes are palynological research in the area of the monastery [Bittmann], thirteen skeletons from the minster and their anthropological analysis [Burkhardt], excavations in the cloister carried out in 2006-2008 [Thiemann] as well as the history and the significance of the monastery of Ihlow-Meerhusen [van Lengen].
