In the Allard Pierson Museum I watched the remains of old Amsterdam digged up from the underworld. People in the 16th and 17th Century had no toilets but cesspools where they threw everything in from excrements to garbage and also broken pots and cups. Lots of China porcelain that was brought to Amsterdam by the trade seafarers to the East around 1600 was found in the ground. The museum has an open restauration workplace where schoolchildren can sort out the shards that belong together.

Cesspool... interesting place to find treasures from the past.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI bet the school children enjoy sorting out those pieces.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGood to be able to see that kind of work being done.

Like a 3D jigsaw puzzle!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSounds like a great exercise for the children to participate in.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat's a lot of pieces to be sorted!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAll the best Jan
Interesting. Wonder how many complete sets of pottery there will be.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenA great job for the kids :) hope they get some full pieces to display at the Museum.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWell that would be challenging Marianne, good idea though, keep the children busy for ages 😉
