JEMGUM, NEAR LEER, GERMANY
Conversely, in an excavation conducted in 1954 Haarnagel
had the good fortune of unearthing in a place called Jemgum
near Leer,[136]
on the left bank of the river Ems, an
aisled house with pottery shards and artifacts ranging from
the beginning of the seventh to the end of the fifth century
B.C. (transition from Bronze Age to Early Iron Age.) The
walls of the Jemgum house (figs. 313-314) were a different
construction type from those of the previously discovered
houses. They were built of horizontal logs of ash, squared
off, and held in place by vertical ash saplings. In the middle
of each long wall there was an entrance protected by a
projecting porch. The roof was carried by four freestanding
inner posts of a diameter of eight inches (20 cm.), dug
sixteen inches (40 cm.) into the ground. The hearth lay in
the middle of the center aisle, in the northeastern half of the
house. On the opposite side of the house the ground was
covered by a wooden floor covering of alder planks, which
suggests that this section of the house was used as a living
and sleeping unit.
On Jemgum, see Haarnagel, 1957, 1-44. The house of Jemgum was
inhabited only by human beings. Other houses of the same construction
type and the same period accommodating men and cattle under the
same roof have in the meantime been unearthed a little farther downstream
on the same bank of the river Ems, in a place called Boomborg/Hatzum;
for a preliminary report on this, see Haarnagel, 1965, 132-64.
