Abstract

Archaeological excavation near Maastricht (the Netherlands) in the town of Lanaken (Belgium) revealed a previously unknown wooden-and-earth fortified site dating back to c.650–800. The fortification's construction, layout and dimensions are indicative of Roman military practice, suggesting active application of this practice during the early medieval period. This research delves into the implications of this discovery, shedding light on early medieval military strategies in the region and providing insights into potential historical contexts surrounding the fortified sitecation's construction and use. In so doing, it makes an important contribution to ongoing discussions regarding the nature of early medieval military organization and elite society.

马斯特里赫特（比利时/荷兰）附近的拉纳肯防御工事遗址。中世纪早期马斯河流域军事和精英战略的新见解

在荷兰马斯特里赫特（Maastricht）附近的比利时拉纳肯（Lanaken）镇进行的考古发掘揭示了一个以前不为人知的木土防御工事遗址，其历史可追溯到约 650-800 年。该防御工事的构造、布局和尺寸都体现了罗马的军事实践，表明这种实践在中世纪早期得到了积极的应用。这项研究深入探讨了这一发现的意义，揭示了该地区中世纪早期的军事战略，并提供了有关该防御工事建造和使用的潜在历史背景的见解。在此过程中，它对目前有关中世纪早期军事组织和精英社会性质的讨论做出了重要贡献。
