With National Science Foundation support, Dr. Peter Wells and a graduate student assistant will study archaeological materials in German museum collections. They will focus on artifacts which date to late pre Roman and early Roman periods, assess the nature and extent of these collections and use this information as the basis for the formulation of a larger project. These data will allow Dr. Wells to select potential sites for future excavation. Between 58 BC and 83 AD the Roman empire extended northwards into temperate Europe and incorporated local groups. Dr. Wells is interested in the process of incorporation and the kinds of changes and accommodations which are made by both cultures in this interaction. Limited historical documentation exists and these data will increase the potential contribution of the archaeological research. The work has the ultimate potential to add, not only to scientific understanding of cultural interaction between dominant and subservient groups but also to contribute to archaeological technique and methodology. Archaeologists attempt to reconstruct cultural process on the basis of excavated material remains and this can be complicated to do. In the Roman case, documents provide some historic control. Through study of the material correlates of Roman incorporation, Dr. Wells hopes to develop markers which may prove of interpretive use in other archaeological contexts.

在国家科学基金会的支持下，彼得·威尔斯博士和一名研究生助理将研究德国博物馆收藏的考古材料。他们将重点关注前罗马时期晚期和早期罗马时期的文物，评估这些藏品的性质和范围，并将这些信息用作制定更大项目的基础。这些数据将使威尔斯博士能够选择未来挖掘的潜在地点。 公元前 58 年至公元 83 年间，罗马帝国向北扩展至欧洲温带地区，并吞并了当地群体。威尔斯博士对合并的过程以及两种文化在这种互动中所做出的变化和适应很感兴趣。历史文献有限，这些数据将增加考古研究的潜在贡献。这项工作具有最终的潜力，不仅可以增加对主导群体和从属群体之间文化互动的科学理解，而且还可以为考古技术和方法做出贡献。考古学家试图根据出土的物质遗骸重建文化过程，但这可能很复杂。在罗马的例子中，文献提供了一些历史控制。通过研究罗马合并的物质相关性，威尔斯博士希望开发出可以证明在其他考古环境中具有解释性用途的标记。
