Dit in het Nederlands gestelde artikel in het Jaarboek van het LGOG (Publications nr. 154, 2018) ... more Dit in het Nederlands gestelde artikel in het Jaarboek van het LGOG (Publications nr. 154, 2018) behandelt de uitvoerige studie (2017) van Theuws en Kars van de Vrijthofopgraving te Maastricht (NL) uit 1969/1970. Het artikel vat op beknopte wijze de resultaten samen, beschrijft binnen welke onderzoekstraditie dit boek tot stand kon komen en bediscussieert de betekenis van het Vrijthofboek voor Maastricht en de omliggende Euregio. Het belangrijkste aspect is dat dit artikel de vraag wil beantwoorden die al 50 jaar lang in Maastricht leeft: "wat is er nou eigenlijk gevonden?". Schema's, tabellen en tekeningen maken precies duidelijk wat er wel en wat er niet was, op een bepaald moment tussen het jaar 0 en het jaar 1000.

Papers by Eric Wetzels
This article is a background document on a short film of 6 minutes on the siege of Maastricht in 1794 and how it was experienced (could have been experienced) by an fictive Austrian soldier named Erwin Weiss, who was part of the Dutch States regiments and who tried to defend Maastricht against the French attackers (unsuccesfully).
Reason to (newly) read Gregory is that his recordings on Maastricht are generally accepted and copied through and through by historians, espacially by archaeologists, but hardly any questions are asked on why Gregory wrote what he wrote, what was the context of his recordings, how the clergyman and nobleman looked at the world of their days, what the writings mean and if they should be or can be taken literally.
This short article tries to explain in what way Gregory's recordings can be used for the history-writing of Maastricht (and the Euro-regio M-R).
This paper is presented in the form of a project-description (what, who, when, where, with what, why, to which purpose?) and is called a “case-card”. Goal is to present the available information in a somewhat different, but very clear way (concised and concrete) and to get new research-questions.
This paper was presented as a powerpoint-presentation during a colloquiem of historians and archaeologists (the Meuse-Rhine Archaeological & Historical Network (MRAHN) on oktober the 14th 2016, in the Gallo-Roman Museum in Tongeren, Belgium, amongst colleagues from Germany (Rhineland), Belgium (Flanders and Wallonie) and Dutch-Limburg (ca. 35 colleagues).
Goal was to gather and share all available facts and figures on the late Roman castellum of Maastricht, to get insight in this castellum, to create new figures and many questions, and to invite and challenge the colleagues present, to present the same sort of information of their castella (f.i. Jülich, Aachen, Tongeren, Heerlen, etc) to be able to compare this information and to draw new conclusions or draft new hypotheses.
