After the first decade of large scale settlement research at
Oss-Ussen (1974-1984), a second and a third decade followed
(1986-2008). The present book is a report on the second decade of
settlement excavations, all carried out under supervision of the
first author. Started with a focus on the Bronze Age, the project
developed into a large scale research of Iron Age and Roman Period
settlements and cemeteries over a total area of about 13 ha. The
ten campaigns of fieldwork functioned also as the fieldschool of
the Faculty of Archaeology of Leiden University, so many of the
archaeologists in Dutch Archaeology used their shovels and trowels
for the first time in Oss. Due to its narrative style the book is
not only meant for professional archaeologists but for everyone
interested in Metal Ages and Roman Period in general and the local
history of Oss specifically. The book is divided in two parts. Part
1 describes the results of the excavations in a personal account of
how research goals developed in relation to ever changing
theoretical and practical circumstances. It presents a synthesis of
different study areas with a focus on how the past may have
influenced new phases of settlement. In this synthesis also the
fieldwork of the first decade and to some extent the third decade
of excavations at Oss (Horzak) are taken into account. Part 2
describes the primary data of the 1986-1995 excavations on which
the analyses are based. Due to these mass of data, we have
restricted ourselves to a (large) selection of features and
structures that yielded information for the synthesis in part 1.
