Nicolay, Johan Firdgum-village. [Data Collection]
Description of the project in English
The motivation for the archaeological research at Firdgum, in the present-day province of Friesland (the Netherlands), was threefold. In the first place, there is a scientific interest in the relationship between habitation and landscape in a former salt-marsh area. In the case of Firdgum, the research location on one the northernmost salt-marsh ridges of Westergo is of special interest. The research at Firdgum forms an important addition to earlier excavations of terp sites at Wijnaldum-Tjitsma, Djongum-Heringa, Peins-Oost and Achlum within the same part of Friesland located on more southern salt-marsh ridges.

| Description of the project in Dutch: | De aanleiding voor het onderzoek in Firdgum, gelegen binnen het huidige Friesland (Nederland), was drieledig. In de eerste plaats was er de wetenschappelijke interesse naar de relatie tussen bewoning en landschap in een voormalig kweldergebied. In het geval van Firdgum is vooral de ligging van de onderzoekslocatie op n van de meest noordelijke kwelderwallen van Westergo interessant. Het onderzoek in Firdgum vormt daarmee een belangrijke aanvulling op de eerdere opgraving van terpen te Wijnaldum-Tjitsma, Djongum-Heringa, Peins-Oost en Achlum binnen hetzelfde deel van Friesland gelegen op meer zuidelijke kwelderwallen. | ||||
