Abstract

The Department of Classical Archaeology at the University of Vienna has been conducting field research at the Waldling site near Gunskirchen in Upper Austria since 2016. In the course of several campaigns - based on freely available geodata - satellite-supported surveying, intensive systematic surveys, and geophysical prospections using magnetics and radar were carried out, and high-resolution, georeferenced surface models and daily updated aerial photographs of the site were produced using UASs (uncrewed aircraft systems/"drones"). In 2020, a teaching and research excavation also took place at the site for the first time. According to the results of the geophysical prospections and the survey, it can currently be assumed that there was an ancient Roman farm ("villa") in the immediate vicinity of Ovilavis; the dating of the terra sigillata fragments found during the 2016 survey can be placed in a range between 140 AD and 270 AD.
