Feddersen Wierde

The hamlet of Feddersen Wierde in the estuary of the Weser (founded in Ier century before J. - C.) becomes in IIe century a village of approximately 50 houses, installed on a hillock raised against the floods (Terpen).

Each house is divided into three by partitions (cattle shed, workshop, stay with central hearth). The Bovin S are the animals most represented, with a small proportion of Mouton S, horses, Porc S and Chien S). A small attic isolated from the ground is built close to each house. One cultivates the Orge and the Blé, but also the Haricot S and the flax.

A workshop of wood turner, of the workshops of Métallurgie (Bronze and Iron) have found summers. A large building with three wings without internal divisions was perhaps used for the gatherings and the banquets. The major part of the products imported there was found (Roman currencies, bronzes and vases). The site is abandoned in the middle of the 5th century with the rise of water on the low coastal plains.
