Archaeology part 3- Book review Excavations in Bergen op Zoom
writers:
Vermunt, M.J.A. en H.L.A. van der Kallen
Excavations in Bergen op Zoom is the first public book on archaeological research in and around Bergen op Zoom.
A lot of research has been done in the last twenty years, the results of which contributed significantly to the knowledge of the past of the city and the surrounding area. And sometimes even more ... Examples are the finding of a unique Roman cemetery behind the Great Church, the discovery of the oldest majolic potty bakery in our country and the puzzle of the mass graves at the medieval guesthouse, ultimately solved by the find Of the pest bacteria, cause of the Black Death in Europe.
The book deals with various themes that give a glance through the centuries-old history of Bergen op Zoom: the origin of the city, the medieval dirt processing, the fortifications and, last but not least, the many potteries that the city once counted. It is a journey through the past, which gives a glorious overview of the rich soil archive that is hidden under our feet.
