Abstract

This comprehensive study delves into the intricacies of Roman rural settlements in the Melk Valley, north-eastern Noricum, specifically focusing on the period from c. 50 to 488 CE. Concentrating on two emblematic rural sites within the municipality of Oberndorf an der Melk, Gries and Schachau, the research adopts a multifaceted methodological approach, including site catchment and visibility analyses, alongside the evaluation of soil and geophysical data. By doing so, the study provides profound insights into the structural composition and organisation of these settlements. Highlighting the remarkable complexity and the nuanced socio-economic dynamics underpinning Roman rural life in this region, the paper reveals the adaptive strategies employed to exploit the landscape effectively. Furthermore, it underscores the significance of geographical and environmental factors in shaping the development of rural settlements,
offering a nuanced understanding of their role within the broader Roman provincial fabric.
