Der Beitrag fasst die Ergebnisse eines von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) im Rahmen des SPP 1630 von 2012 bis 2018 geförderten Projekts zusammen. Während der Feldkampagnen wurden archäologische, baugeschichtliche, geoarchäologische und geophysikalische Untersuchungen durchgeführt. Der Fokus der Untersuchungen lag auf der topographischen und wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung von Ainos in der Antike, insbesondere in der römischen Kaiserzeit, sowie in der byzantinischen Epoche. Neue Erkenntnisse konnten hinsichtlich der Entwicklung der Stadt und der Lokalisierung von möglichen Hafenstandorten erzielt werden. Dabei zeigte sich, dass die Römische Kaiserzeit in Ainos nicht, wie lange vermutet, als Epoche des Niedergangs zu bewerten ist. Die landschaftlichen Veränderungen, allen voran die Verlandung durch das sich südwestwärts vorschiebende Delta des Hebros, führten erst ab der frühbyzantinischen Zeit zu Einschränkungen hinsichtlich der Landeplätze., This article summarizes the results of a project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) under the umbrella of the SPP 1630 from 2012 to 2018. During the field campaigns archaeological, architectural, geoarchaeological and geophysical investigations were carried out. The research focus was on the topographical and economic development of Ainos in antiquity, especially during the Roman Empire, as well as during the Byzantine period. New findings were obtained regarding the development of the town and the localisation of possible harbour sites. It became clear that the Roman Imperial era in Ainos is not, as long assumed, to be considered as an epoch of decline. The landscape changes, esp. the sedimentation caused by the southwestward advancing delta of the Hebros, did not lead to restrictions regarding landing sites until the early Byzantine period., Archäologischer Anzeiger, 2.

e-Forschungsberichte, Faszikel 3 (2016), The activities of the Pergamon-excavation in 2015 were part of the continuing research program on the urban organism of the Hellenistic residential city and on Pergamon��s countryside. The program also includes studies of the ancient necropolis and the natural sanctuaries as integral elements within the presentation of suburbs and hinterland. The campaign focused on (1) geophysical prospection and archaeological sondages at the monumental tumulus Yi��ma Tepe, (2) the completion of the excavation within the alleged banquet-building at the northern east-slope, (3) the archaeological and architectural study of the Lower Agora, (4) the continuation and almost completion of the Kane-Peninsula (Kara Da��) regional harbor survey, (5) the extensive conservation and restoration works at the Red Hall and the Gymnasion of Pergamon. A detailed preliminary report, which contains also information about other fields of activity such as palaeo-anthropology or dendrochronology, will be published in ���Arch��ologischer Anzeiger��� 2015/2.
