Pins made of non-ferrous heavy metal
Storage was an important factor for survival and well-being at the
frontier. Stockstadt was a trade centre where many goods changed
hands.
Many cellars were excavated in the Stockstadt vicus.
Their walls were of rubblestone and the window frames of red
sandstone. Large storage vessels contained grain, dried vegetables
like peas and field beans, and probably also beer. The streets were
lined with stands selling these goods.
