Abstract:		 A preliminary account of Tilleda, one of the two early medieval palaces in Germany whose citadel and outer enclosure have been extensively explored. Tilleda was first mentioned in early 9th century, and the palace itself was extant by 972; it appears in the record several times until 1194, after which it declined to a manorial tenement. Evidence was found of a small 8th century military fortification and three palace periods before the decline. The citadel's primitive earth and timber defence was succeeded in part at least by mortared stone walls and multiplication of ramparts. In the citadel were a church and keep, several successive banqueting halls, accommodation for the royal household, and sunken huts (grubenhauser) of various forms. In the churchyard 420 graves were excavated. The outer enclosure was fairly densely occupied, and twenty-three sunken huts have been explored to reveal dwellings, guard huts, ancillary buildings and weaving sheds. Finds were relatively few because the site was gradually evacuated, but pottery was largely of the North Sea group.
