Daar, op de eerste verdieping van het pand Breestraat 87 in Leiden, zat hij achter een grote tekentafel. Maar alras bleek hij de bovenste verdieping veel interessanter te vinden. In zijn lunchpauze verscheen hij steeds vaker op de zolder waar zich het botanisch laboratorium bevond, dat toen overigens nog in de kinderschoenen stond. Op die zolder bleek zijn passie voor het de- termineren van kleine, halfvergane plantenresten. Toen de functie van botanisch analist vrij kwam, aasde hij dan ook op die positie, hoewel hij daar officieel geen enkele kwalificatie voor had. Aan iemand die zó graag iets wil en daar duidelijk talent voor heeft, kan een werkgever niet zomaar voorbijgaan en dus kreeg Wim de baan. Sindsdien is hij nooit meer vertrokken. Hij maakte de verhuizing mee naar de Reuvensplaats en de geboorte van de Faculteit der Archeologie, waarin de Interfaculteit der Aardrijkskunde en Prehistorie opging. De zolderverdieping van het huis aan de Breestraat werd verruild voor een speciaal voor de archeobotanie ontworpen laboratorium. Aan deze ontwikkeling heeft Wim een grote bijdrage geleverd. Omdat de beschrijvingen en determinatiecriteria van plant- aardig materiaal dikwijls verborgen zitten in archeologische publicaties, maakte hij deze toe- gankelijk en daarmee eenvoudig bruikbaar door ze bijeen te brengen in klappers. Ook werkte hij voortdurend aan de uitbreiding van de vergelijkingscollectie. Intussen was gebleken dat Wim niet alleen een passie voor determineren heeft, maar ook een talent voor het overdragen van zijn kennis aan anderen. Generaties studenten hebben les van hem gehad en velen deden hun afstudeerwerk onder zijn begeleiding. Wim verliest nooit zijn geduld en blijft alles net zo lang uitleggen tot de student het determineren van een bepaald restje onder de knie heeft. Het onderwijs trok, en trekt nog steeds veel studen- ten, waaronder ook studenten uit Spanje, Frankrijk, België, Duitsland, Polen, Denemarken en zelfs China. Taalbarrières spelen nooit een rol, omdat de taalbeheersing van de studenten gewoonlijk identiek is aan die van Wim, waardoor niemand enige gêne heeft om zijn of haar mond open te doen. En waar taal tekortschiet helpen gebaren en vóórdoen. wim kuijper veertig jaar in de archeologie 9 Op het driejaarlijkse congres van de International Work Group for Palaeoethnobotany (IWGP) is Wim een graag geziene deelnemer. Niet omdat hij daar lezingen geeft, maar vanwege zijn fenomenale kennis. Menige congresganger heeft een tasje bij zich met daarin onbekend materi- aal waarvan hij of zij hoopt dat Wim zal zeggen: o dat is dat en deze soort is daar en daar ook al eens gevonden. En meestal stelt hij hen niet te- leur. Wim heeft een verbazingwekkend goed ge- heugen en graaft zonder aarzelen documentatie op uit één of andere reeds lang vergeten publicatie. Hij heeft trouwens meerdere publicaties op zijn naam staan. Uiteraard gaat Wim mee het veld in om mon- sters te nemen op opgravingen of boringen te doen voor pollenonderzoek. Zo ging hij ieder jaar mee naar Frankrijk, naar Cuiry-lès-Chaudardes in het dal van de Aisne, om de bij de grootschalige opgravingen in het Departement Aisne genomen grondmonsters door te zeven en tot transportabele

  • Urban Warfare in 15Th-Century Castile
    Urban warfare in 15th-century Castile Guerra urbana en el siglo XV castellano Ekaitz Etxeberria Gallastegi* Universidad del País Vasco Abstract Urban warfare evokes unequivocally contemporary images. However, the Mid- dle Ages frequently witnessed combats inside cities. These confrontations usu- ally arose in two contexts: factional struggles to achieve local power, and street fighting derived from an enemy army entering the city after a successful as- sault. The aim of this paper is to analyse urban warfare in 15th-century Castile, examining its tactics and common characteristics. Keywords Urban Warfare, Castile, 15th century, Tactics. Resumen El combate urbano remite a unos referentes inequívocamente contemporáneos. Sin embargo, la Edad Media también fue escenario de frecuentes combates en el interior de las ciudades. Estos enfrentamientos solían responder a dos realida- des: la lucha entre bandos locales enfrentados por el poder y el combate calle- jero que podía suceder a la expugnación de la muralla por un ejército atacante. * Correo electrónico: [email protected].

Inspired by long-term investigations into the cultural encounters and mixtures of the Danish-German border region, I wanted to widen the perspective and make a comparison between the application of architecture in a series of border regions, in which national affiliation, identity and power have shifted through history. The focus was mainly directed towards the old German border regions, whose nationality changed in the wave of World War I: Alsace (Elsaβ), Lorraine (Lothringen) and the western parts of Poland (former provinces of Posen and Westpreussen).

  • The Archaeology of Castle Slighting in the Middle Ages
    The Archaeology of Castle Slighting in the Middle Ages Submitted by Richard Nevell, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Archaeology in October 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ……………………………………………………………………………… Abstract Medieval castle slighting is the phenomenon in which a high-status fortification is demolished in a time of conflict. At its heart are issues about symbolism, the role of castles in medieval society, and the politics of power. Although examples can be found throughout the Middle Ages (1066–1500) in England, Wales and Scotland there has been no systematic study of the archaeology of castle slighting. Understanding castle slighting enhances our view of medieval society and how it responded to power struggles. This study interrogates the archaeological record to establish the nature of castle slighting: establishing how prevalent it was chronologically and geographically; which parts of castles were most likely to be slighted and why this is significant; the effects on the immediate landscape; and the wider role of destruction in medieval society. The contribution of archaeology is especially important as contemporary records give little information about this phenomenon. Using information recovered from excavation and survey allows this thesis to challenge existing narratives about slighting, especially with reference to the civil war between Stephen and Matilda (1139–1154) and the view that slighting was primarily to prevent an enemy from using a fortification.

  • Simulating the Evolution of Ancient Fortified Cities
    DOI: 10.1111/cgf.13897 COMPUTER GRAPHICS forum Volume 39 (2020), number 1 pp. 650–671 Simulating the Evolution of Ancient Fortified Cities Albert Mas, Ignacio Martin and Gustavo Patow ViRVIG, Universitat de Girona, Spain [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Ancient cities and castles are ubiquitous cultural heritage structures all over Europe, and countless digital creations (e.g. movies and games) use them for storytelling. However, they got little or no attention in the computer graphics literature. This paper aims to close the gap between historical and geometrical modelling, by presenting a framework that allows the forward and inverse design of ancient city (e.g. castles and walled cities) evolution along history. The main component is an interactive loop that cycles over a number of years simulating the evolution of a city. The user can define events, such as battles, city growth, wall creations or expansions, or any other historical event. Firstly, cities (or castles) and their walls are created, and, later on, expanded to encompass civil or strategic facilities to protect. In our framework, battle simulations are used to detect weaknesses and strengthen them, evolving to accommodate to developments in offensive weaponry. We conducted both forward and inverse design tests on three different scenarios: the city of Carcassone (France), the city of Gerunda (Spain) and the Ciutadella in ancient Barcelona. All the results have been validated by historians who helped fine-tune the different parameters involved in the simulations.

  • Dale Townshend
    Copyrighted material - Provided by Taylor & Francis Marketing Use Only INTRODUCTION Dale Townshend he Gothic World. In this, the second decade of the twenty- first century, the title- Tphrase of this collection might well bring to mind the nightmarish visions of global apocalypse and tentative, painful recovery so graphically figured in Max Brooks’s 2006 novel, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War . Through knowing recourse to a narrative trope that reaches as far back as the eighteenth century, Brooks’s narrator, a researcher for the United Nations’ Postwar Commission Report, offers up in World War Z a version of Gothic fiction’s “lost manuscript” or “censored chapter,” an unwieldy textual dossier comprised of the many transcrip- tions of personal testimonies of the Zombie War that he, ever since the War’s end, has labored meticulously to compile, but which, through the utilitarian demands of his superiors, would otherwise have fallen into oblivion. “It was all too intimate,” the chairperson of the Postwar Commission Report coldly informs him, attempting thus to explain and rationalize to the narrator the Commission’s decision to excise and delete from the final edition of his report almost half of his recorded materials (Brooks 2006:1); “Too many opinions, too many feelings,” she cavalierly continues, “That’s not what this report is about. We need clear facts and figures, unclouded by the human factor” (Brooks 2006: 1). Coming, as it does, at the end of an arduous process of interviewing and transcription, the news is understandably crushing for the narrator. But his determination to conserve, through the writing and publica- tion of his research, precisely this “human factor” (Brooks 2006: 2) as it is given such powerful expression in each of the book’s oral testimonies seems particularly pertinent, especially when we realize that it is primarily the condition of being a living and breathing human being that the previous ten years of onslaught by hordes of the walking dead have placed seriously under threat.

An analysis of the labor disputes and strikes that took place during these years indicates that the Guard was used sparingly and with great reluctance by state authorities. Out of the hundreds of strikes during those years following the 1877 railroad strike, the Guard was deployed only six times. The Guard was a tool of last resort that was dispatched by Pennsylvania governors only after all other means to suppress violence and restore order in affected areas were exhausted.
