Books

Ezinge, ijkpunt in de archeologie

Authors: Piet Kooi & Kirsten van der Ploeg

Over five hundred photographs have been taken during the famous excavations in the terp mount Ezinge (1923-1934) by A.E. van Giffen and his team. They provide interesting information about the village, the used methodology and the stunning results. The Groningen Institute of Archaeology, the guardian of this valuable collection, decided to use a selection as the basis for this book.

The first part provides some general information and places Ezinge in a broader context and pictures the specific problems that arose during the excavations and the way they were tackled. The second part describes the development of the settlement between 500 BC and 400 AD.

The most important part of this book consists of full-page pictures of work in progress. The mix of remnants from different buildings in an excavated level is often very confusing. In these cases each picture has been thoroughly analysed and the results have been presented in drawings on an opposite page. By doing so it is possible to follow the excavations on three different locations. The last location has been documented best, with pictures of several levels of buildings, dating from the beginning of the era on the top to about 500 BC at the bottom level of the terp mount.

The prize of ‘Ezinge, ijkpunt in de archeologie’ (full colour, 103 pages) is € 27,50. To read and order the book, send an email to: ezinge rug.nl . It is also for sale in the bookshop of Museum Wierdenland.

The book has been officially presented on the 6th of November 2014.
