PRaetorium AGrippinae Roman Information Site Sites |
 |
| In 1943 site VI was excavated, and VIb and VIg followed in 1946 and 1950 respectively. These sites cover a large area of the right part of the retentura. It was expected that these sites would yield interesting material, as a large part of the contubernia was situated here. |

Using the original excavation data a selection of finds was made: only finds from below +0.80 NAP (site VI) and below +0.60 NAP (sites VIb and VIg) were taken into account, as layers above these levels too often were disturbed. This means that only phases 1/1a and 2/3 were investigated, corresponding with the early period of the castellum (40-69 AD). We did not study any of the ecological material (skeletal remains of human and animal origin, wood etc.) Most metal finds from these sites (coins, millitary equipment) were already published and some of them were not available for further study. Most iron objects were decayed to a state of unrecognizability. This selection procedure resulted in the following reanalysis scheme: |
