Research literature: Hallstatt

On this page, you will find a collection of links to scientific publications that are relevant to this project or that can contribute to a deeper exemplary understanding of the processes and circumstances that may be related to the Reinterpretation of Germania Magna presented here. These publications span different research areas.

The collection includes:

  • Primary literature: Scientific publications presenting the results of new research.
  • Secondary literature: Scientific publications summarizing, analyzing, or interpreting primary literature.
  • Comparative literature: Publications that exemplify similar processes and circumstances in other contexts.
  • Additional resources: Links to websites, databases, and other resources that may be relevant to the reinterpretation

The following publications are intended to help answer specific questions exemplarily, which may be related to the necessary processes and events required for extensive landscape transformation. These include considerations of tectonic fracture events and rift systems, with corresponding effects on maritime landslide events and the formation of new sedimentation basins.

a. On Determining the Length of a Ptolemaic Degree One Ptolemaic degree in Germania Magna is approximately 28 kilometers (or 17.4 miles) wide.(▶see calculation→) b. Note on the localization of Aliso near Haltern am See and of Budoris (presumably later Divitia) near Cologne-Deutz: (▶ see calculation→) ( only in German at the moment) c. Definition of “Dark Earth” as a sudden event deposit: (▶ see testing concept→) ( only in German at the moment) d. Note on the term “Vistula Fluvius”: Based on this reinterpretation, the ancient Vistula Fluvius is not identified with the modern Vistula in Poland, but rather as a complex hydrological system located further west in the Lusatia region (the Schwarze Elster (Black Elster)/Spree/Oder system). In contrast, the subsequent transfer of the name to a river located further east (i.e., the modern Vistula) is viewed as a later misinterpretation of ancient records or the result of an … Read moreAdditional Notes on the Geography of Germania Magna
