Abstract
This thesis is about the Roman fortification on Kops Plateau that was occupied from ca. 12 BC to AD 69/70. Described as the “Nachtwacht van de Nederlandse Archeologie” (The Night Watch of the Dutch Archaeology), the Roman fort is today considered to be one of the richest and most extensive documented archaeological sites of the Lower Rhineland. The goal of this thesis is to visualise and analyse the spatial organisation of the Roman fort on Kops Plateau. To analyse the fast amount of archaeological data a new quantitative approach was developed which employs the processing power of today’s computers in combination with a series of exploratory statistics. By focussing on the well-studied pottery assembly it was possible to analyse a large portion of the archaeological contexts both chronologically and spatially.
