“…According to the pottery sherds, the road was in use during the 3rd and 4th centuries (De Meulemeester and Dewilde 1989). The direction of the cart tracks matches the direction of 4th-century cart tracks uncovered south-east of the castellum and extending over a total area of 50 m wide (Bekestraat site (ET13); cf . Hollevoet 1994; (Figure 12).…”

“…Mite and diatom assemblages found south-east of the Oudenburg fort (site ET13 28 ) illustrate that tidal influence reached the landward border of the coastal plain in the 3rd century AD (Schelvis and Ervynck 1993;Demiddele and Ervynck 1994;Ervynck et al 1999, 117). A clay level locally found on top of the 4th-century cart tracks at this site (Hollevoet 1994) witness of the late Roman inland progression of the coastline.

In the later Roman period the North Sea and Channel region was the scene of seaborne attacks, political crises, army reforms, Germanic invasions and changing imperial defence strategies. Literary evidence for this era is poor. On the other hand the Shore forts can yield highly significant information, but have been subject to little study in recent decades. At the Belgian coastal fort at Oudenburg large-scale excavations in the first decade of the 21st century revealed a strikingly well-preserved chronological, spatial and functional evolution of this military base, with five main fort periods running from the late 2nd until the early 5th century AD. For the first time within the context of the Shore forts securely datable structural evidence demonstrates the stages in progression of a mid- to late Roman fort where the horizons can be related to historically recorded processes and events in the region. Political, economic and social developments can be seen within this evidence, as a result of the assessment of the huge quantity of well-stratified finds types. Reports on the finds assemblage by specialist experts, using various analytical methods, represent ‘touchstones’ for regional military and later Roman studies in the North-West provinces. The study of Oudenburg, and in relationship to other Shore forts, enables exploration of ‘change and continuity’ and ‘identity’, in respect of the everyday lives of soldiers, and in their interaction with other forts and wider regional spheres. This is achieved by examining find contexts as reflections of the socio-cultural world. The study of ‘military identities’ is further emphasized through looking at the associated graveyards wherein the direct relationship with the successive fort periods is established. It is clear this fort was closely connected with the British forts and that there occurred an increasing Germanic influence as the fort transformed into a community of military families. This is volume one of three. This volume provides a detailed analysis of the Oudenburg site and the report of the research of its significance within the wider context of the Roman North Sea and Channel frontier zone, on a historic-military, a socio-cultural and a socio-economic level.

“…De graven laten toe enkele duidelijke grafrituelen te onderscheiden waarvan sommige -o.a. het breken van aardewerkgiften vóór de eigenlijke Hollevoet 1987b. Trimpe Burger 1985 verbranding -reeds op andere necropolen werden onderscheiden 25 maar waarvan andere vooralsnog enkel in deze regio lijken voor te komen: we denken hier meer bepaald aan het plaatsen van een kleine hoeveelheid verbrand been samen met de grafgiften in de nis 26 .…”
