Kerkhove-Kouter, Archaeological site in Avelgem, Belgium
The excavation area spans 5 hectares along the Schelde River bank between Waarmaarde and Kerkhove villages in West Flanders.
The site contains artifacts from multiple periods, including Mesolithic tools, Neolithic pottery, Bronze Age weapons, and structures from Roman times.
The Roman-era administrative center functioned as a mansio with buildings for storage, management, and bathing facilities for travelers along trade routes.
Research campaigns from 1974 to 2000 revealed extensive archaeological evidence through systematic excavations conducted by West Flanders soil research organizations.
A discovery of 1800 Roman silver coins in 1610 first indicated the presence of significant historical remains at this location.
