We will not attempt to present explanations or attenuating circumstances for, quite frankly, there are none. We roundly admit it, in plain language. You like plain language, and looking back we have to say: that’s exactly what all of us have always admired in you. We’ve been toying with the idea of a Festschrift since long before your appointment as Emeritus Professor, and yet it has taken until 2010 for this volume to appear. However, 2010 is also the year in which you reach the age of 65, which makes for a timely appearance of this Festschrift by a lucky coincidence. Having said all that, we are proud to have been able to do this for you, as it allows us to give something back to you, in a fi tting manner, for the many things you have enriched our lives with in the course of many years. And many years it was: the three of us got to know you some 20 to 30 years ago as an expert in medieval archaeology at the Ghent University. We subsequently obtained our PhDs with you at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel between 2002 and 2005, with our research on medieval material remains. In this we were able to build upon research begun by you or in which you had been involved during the 1960s and ’70s, on medieval pottery and medieval forms of rural settlement such as deserted villages and moated sites. Before moving on to the individual contributions, we would like to make a few brief observations. Let us start at the beginning. Our fi rst encounter with medieval archaeology was during fi eldwalking done in the framework of a master dissertation – aft er all, the lion’s share of fi eldwalking fi nds is generally formed by medieval and post medieval pottery. Like no other, you were able to answer our many queries regarding the curiosities we collected from the ‘fi elds of Flanders’, the agreement being that we not only presented you with the curiosities but also with all the associated fi nds.
