Roman Rural Landscapes in Noricum | PhD project

The Roman rural site of Petzenkirchen in Lower Austria is located on the right bank of the river Erlauf – archaeological excavations at the village district Breiteneich revealed features and finds that can be assigned to a Roman villa rustica located in the hinterland of the Danube limes/ripa. Several wells were found at the site, the one presented here is a shaft well built of unhewn natural stones (stratigraphic unit SE 691) with a simple bottom.

The site serves as case study within the Area of Special Interest of my PhD project ‘Roman Rural Landscapes in Noricum’.
