Vindplaats live: Herkomstonderzoek in uitvoering

On the venue's site

In De Vindplaats, the place where everything revolves around archaeology, researchers are regularly at work. You can ask them questions, think along with them and discover the fascinating stories behind archaeological finds.

This Wednesday you can, together with junior provenance researcher Gijs Burgers, investigate the provenance of objects from the Allard Pierson collection that are on display in the Vindplaats. The earthenware figurines, oil lamps and vases each have their own history from the moment they were discovered, which can be traced by following the leads in the sources. Research together with Gijs old inventory cards, inventory books and other archival documents to find out how the objects came to be in the Allard Pierson.
