Winterlezingen | Graaf- en Modderwerk, 750 jaar Amsterdam

Speaker: Ranjith Jayasena

Winter Lectures | Urban recovery - Winter lectures | Excavation and Mud Work, 750 years of Amsterdam

In 2020, Ranjith published Excavation and Mud Work, an archaeological city history of Amsterdam. Last October, Amsterdam, the water and the people: a day on the Amstel in 1275 was published (Ranjith wrote it together with Gabri van Tussenbroek). What exactly is the deal with the toll exemption that Amsterdam received 750 years ago? Ranjith Jayasena takes us on his quest and shows us the results of decades of archaeological research into the oldest history of Amsterdam.
