Dorestad

Dorestad


We see a small group of three buildings, as contained in Dorestad around 800 AD. Up front, closest to the water, a merchant house with a thatched roof. This home is modeled houses like those found in Hedeby in archaeological research. The building shows that there is more activity here than just trading.

Right behind the house is a so-called 'hutkom'. This is a building that is only used as a workshop, for example, by a glass bead maker or blacksmith. This 'hutkom' was excavated in Rijnsburg. The main building is a semi house with barn work, found in the soil survey in Valkenburg. The settlement was discovered in the early Middle Ages.
