Interview with archaeologist Stefan Traxler / Ars Electronica Blog
(Linz, January 23, 2016) The largest lime kiln complex ever discovered in the Roman Empire’s Rhine-Danube provinces was found in 2008 in what was once the Roman town of Lauriacum and is now the city of Enns. Work began last year on excavating the best-preserved kiln in preparation for an exhibition in conjunction with the 2018 Upper Austria State Fair. At the next Deep Space LIVE this Thursday evening, January 26th, Stefan Traxler of the Museum of the State of Upper Austria will present the most spectacular finds of this dig.
