Frozen in time
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Belgian tourist offices continued to promote images of the nation that had originated during the Enlightenment. Foreign travellers often portrayed Belgian cities as preserved remnants of a glorious artistic and cultural past, while their landscapes were depicted as picturesque and untouched by modernity. These representations contrasted sharply with Belgium's reality as a centre of industriali…
Urban tourism promotion in Belgium and the Netherlands
Urban tourism has expanded dramatically in recent decades, reshaping European cities economically, socially and culturally. Yet its roots run much deeper, as (early) modern urban centres – especially in the Low Countries – developed distinctive traditions of tourism and place promotion. This special issue highlights how civic boosterism, marketing innovations and inter-urban competition shaped these early practices. Bringing together new research…
Post-1800
From the urban focus of the Paris Summer Olympics to the implications of the COP28 Climate Agreements for city resilience and sustainability, from housing crises and increasing wealth inequality to shifting gender dynamics and pivotal democratic elections, 2024 was notable in terms of poignant, global events.These developments influenced numerous academic narratives, further enriching and diversifying the ever-changing and increasingly multifacet…
In Brussels? First to the Royal Museums of the Cinquantenaire!’ Urban tourism and the marketing of museums in inter-war Belgium, 1919–39
During the inter-war years, the Musées royaux du Cinquantenaire in Brussels launched a publicity campaign aimed at attracting foreign tourists, Belgian day-trippers and local visitors. Using traditional methods (posters, postcards) alongside innovative techniques (radio interviews, department store exhibitions), the museum tapped into emerging urban tourism marketing trends. Inspired by American practices, director Jean Capart collaborated with t…
Pre-1500
The year 2024 was a year of citizenship.In more than 80 countries around the world, enfranchised individuals went to cast their votes to elect new governments.The outcomes of those elections will be old news by the time this review is published, but they will continue to affect geopolitics for years to come, for better or worse.Our epoch is frequently lambasted as a unique time of political crisis, among other things because of growing anti-democ…
The Roman villa in Oberlienz-Lesendorf, Austria. GPR Survey and Archaeological Interpretation
In 2007, the remains of an extended Roman villa rustica, only partially known from old excavations, were detected through high-resolution GPR measurements at Oberlienz-Lesendorf (Austria). The archaeological prospection was conducted by the Vienna Institute for Archaeological Science (VIAS) in collaboration with the Department of Archaeologies of Innsbruck University and ZAMG Archeo Prospections. Despite the important discovery, the Roman villa i…

number of people who identified themselves by putting their name, signature or, at least, a mark under their petition grew significantly.Together with this quantitative evidence, Burnett develops a compelling qualitative line of reasoning.Intuitively, we would think that people put their names under the petition to support the community, but what if they saw their participation as a rather cheap way to gain social capital by buttressing their own…
Pre-1500
The subject that continued to preoccupy discussions within the international academic community in 2023 was, sadly, war.Still animated by Vladimir Putin's unrelenting invasion attempts in Ukraine, and galvanized in November by the severely renewed hostilities in Gaza between Hamas and the Israeli government under the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu, the end-of-year period was dominated by heated debates, protests and occasionally violent clashes…

Filling the bottomless pit
During the interwar years, when Belgium struggled to overcome the destructions of the First World War and the economic slump of the Great Depression, the government launched one of the most ambitious construction projects in Belgian history. At the Parc du Cinquantenaire an impressive ensemble of buildings, halls and galleries was constructed during the 1920s and 1930s to house the collections of the Royal Museums of Art and History. Drawing new …
Confess and you’ll Feel Better
This introduction questions long-held assumptions regarding criminal interrogations between 1650 and 1850. It discusses the actors and actants involved in criminal interrogations: interrogators, suspects, and clerks, but also laws and customs. Drawing on a scattered historiography of interrogations, it brings together initial insights and outlines questions and problems that can guide the history of criminal interrogation. Premodern criminal inte…
How to Question a Suspect Thoroughly
For a long time, early modern judicial procedures have been portrayed as harsh, ad hoc, sloppy, superficial, heavy-handed, and extremely brutal, with suspects threatened, bullied, and pressured to confess through every possible means. Yet, surprisingly little is known about actual interrogation techniques in early modern Europe. What kind of questions were posed? Did examining magistrates immediately press for a full confession by inflicting fear…
‘While my husband was away … ’
The late eighteenth century has often been portrayed as a pivotal period in the genesis of modern awareness and use of time. Despite this, empirical research to bolster such claims remains relatively thin. The same holds true for gender differences as surprisingly little is known about women's timekeeping and time‐use in early modern Europe. Drawing on evidence from the late eighteenth‐century diary of Clara Cornelia van Eijck, a Dutch burgeres w…
History and Archaeology in Discourse on the Dernberg–Reconstructing the Historical Landscape of a Medieval Motte-and-Bailey Castle and Deserted Village
Investigating deserted medieval castles and villages in remote rural areas paired with a scarcity of meaningful written sources is a challenging task that can be significantly enhanced by the use of non-invasive archaeological prospection methods. Furthermore, the interpolation of stratigraphic relationships among maps by analysing paths and field boundaries, as performed by Klaus Schwarz in the 1980s, can also contribute significantly. Thus, in …
Autograf—AUTomated Orthorectification of GRAFfiti Photos
Admired and despised, created and destroyed, legal and illegal: Contemporary graffiti are polarising, and not everybody agrees to label them as cultural heritage. However, if one is among the steadily increasing number of heritage professionals and academics that value these short-lived creations, their digital documentation can be considered a part of our legacy to future generations. To document the geometric and spectral properties of a graffi…
Multi-Trace Coherence Mapping and Data Fusion for Improved GPR Imaging
Usually only GPR reflection amplitudes are imaged, while GPR data contain far more information.– Multi-trace GPR coherency visualisations offer new insights into structures otherwise hardly visible.– Image fusing permits the combined display of different GPR data attributes (amplitude and coherency)
The Rich and the Hard-Working
Large-area high-resolution magnetic and GPR surveys of whole Roman villa sites in Noricum, where no such settlements have been excavated in total so far.– Using image fusion to combine magnetometry and GPR data from low contrast soils to optimise data quality

No campers wanted
Overtourism is often seen as a modern phenomenon without a history. Drawing on the parliamentary proceedings of the Belgian Chamber of representatives, this paper explores how concerns about crowding and carrying capacity already fuelled a protracted parliamentary debate about camping in Les Trente Glorieuses (1945–’75). Even though ‘tent cloth vacationing’ was seen as an important tool to democratise tourism, it was not always applauded in the B…

Towards a three-dimensional cost-effective registration of the archaeological heritage
Taking computer vision aloft – archaeological three‐dimensional reconstructions from aerial photographs with photoscan
Structure from motion (SFM) algorithms are known for their ability to reconstruct a sparse point cloud of scenes that were imaged by a series of overlapping photographs. When complemented by stereo‐matching algorithms, detailed three‐dimensional models can be built from such photograph collections in a fully automated way. Since 2010, a computer vision software package called PhotoScan has been available from the Russian manufacturer AgiSoft LLC.…

Providing an archaeological bird's‐eye view – an overall picture of ground‐based means to execute low‐altitude aerial photography (Laap) in Archaeology
Since the beginning of aerial photography, researchers have used all kinds of devices ranging from pigeons, kites, poles and balloons to rockets in order to take cameras aloft and remotely gather aerial data needed for a combination of research goals. To date, many of these unmanned devices are still used, mainly to gather archaeologically relevant information from relatively low altitudes, enabling so‐called low‐altitude aerial photography (LAAP…
The Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project
Over the centuries many archaeologists have investigated the site of Stonehenge and we now know a great deal about the phasing and nature of the site. However, the area around the henge, while containing many symbolic and ritual elements, is curiously ‘blank’. The Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project aims to place the site and its development through time within a landscape context using fast and accurate ground‐based geophysical techniques. The …
Imaging the invisible using modified digital still cameras for straightforward and low-cost archaeological near-infrared photography
New ways to extract archaeological information from hyperspectral pixels
Airborne remote sensing for archaeology is the discipline that encompasses the study of archaeological remains using data collected from an airborne platform by means of digital or film-based aerial photography, airborne laser scanning, hyperspectral imaging etc. So far, airborne hyperspectral scanning or – more accurately – airborne imaging spectroscopy (AIS) has occupied only a very small niche in the field of archaeological remote sensing: bes…

Three-dimensional recording of archaeological remains in the Altai Mountains
In the course of their research campaign in Siberia, Ghent University archaeologists have developed a simple and cost effective method for the rapid 3D imaging of rock art, standing stelae and surface monuments. Their procedure will undoubtedly have a big role to play in archaeological research in advance of the oil pipeline expected soon
An attempt to push back frontiers – digital near-ultraviolet aerial archaeology
Surfaces from the Visual Past
Historic aerial images are invaluable sources of aid to archaeological research. Often collected with large-format photogrammetric quality cameras, these images are potential archives of multidimensional data that can be used to recover information about historic landscapes that have been lost to modern development. However, a lack of camera information for many historic images coupled with physical degradation of their media has often made it di…
Near-Infrared Aerial Crop Mark Archaeology
Balancing on the Borderline – a Low‐cost Approach to Visualize the Red‐edge Shift for the Benefit of Aerial Archaeology
Scientists from different research disciplines have provided essential information that relates the biophysical characteristics of plants to their spectral reflectance. This fundamental understanding has facilitated the development of various non‐destructive sensing methods for detecting vegetation stresses, monitoring plant growth and calculating crop yield. Aerial archaeologists flying in small aeroplanes have only partially exploited this know…

Calvinist Pilgrimages and Popish Encounters
How did Calvinist travellers behave when they ventured into the lion’s den of Catholicism? Were Protestants on Grand Tour bound to ignore Popish sanctuaries, and – so it seemed – false relics, excessive processions, obscure rituals, and foolish idolatry or superstition? Did they mock or slander French or Italian Catholicism? According to textbook wisdom, these cross-confessional encounters on Grand Tour were seldom warm-hearted. Drawing on well-k…
Helikite aerial photography – a versatile means of unmanned, radio controlled, low‐altitude aerial archaeology
During the past 100 years, various devices have been developed and applied in order to acquire archaeologically useful aerial imagery from low altitudes (e.g. balloons, kites, poles). This paper introduces Helikite aerial photography (HAP), a new form of close range aerial photography suitable for site or defined area photography, based on a camera suspended from a Helikite: a combination of both a helium balloon and kite wings. By largely overco…
Fashionably late? Time, work and the industrious revolution in early modern Antwerp (1585–1795)
Drawing evidence from the proceedings of the Antwerp hoogere Vierschaer (the local criminal court), the article challenges some key features from Jan de Vries’ hypothesis of the Industrious Revolution. Mesmerised by an endless variety of fashionable and exotic consumer goods, eighteenth-century people would have slashed their leisure time in a variety of ways. Labour input would have been forced up on a daily, weekly and annual base. However, tim…
Integration of Complementary Archaeological Prospection Data from a Late Iron Age Settlement at Vesterager—Denmark
Against the clock
Traditionally a large role has been attributed to the spread of clocks and watches in fostering a 'modern' awareness of time. Yet, little research is available that empirically enables signs of growing time awareness to be linked to the distribution of time-keeping devices. In this article both these phenomena are brought together using two independent sets of evidence that permit the hypothesis that clocks and watches contributed to a heightened…

Les pèlerins de la saison sèche
Belgium has often been labelled as a reluctant colonizer in the past. Yet, a meticulous analysis of tourist magazines, guidebooks, brochures, posters, and documentaries on colonial tourism in the Belgian Congo tells a different story. Travel literature was often teeming with pro-empire propaganda that emphasized the primitiveness of the Congo and underscored the civilizing mission. Tourism was, in this respect, not very different from the overtly…

How do these Foreigners Blend in? Migration and Integration in Late Eighteenth-Century Antwerp (1715-92)
Whereas early modern migration history has been traditionally based on citizenship rolls, marriage registers, censuses and myriad other sources, this research explores the value of eyewitness reports before the Antwerp criminal court in the eighteenth century. On the face of things, these proceedings of the hoogere Vierschaer corroborate earlier findings. Due to the economic slump, Antwerp merely drew an endless stream of humble, unskilled labour…
De kronieken van de Delftse tertiarissenconventen
Contrary to the Congregation of Windesheim the Third Order of St Francis is not rich in historiographical works. No more than five chronicles of convents and a fragment of a sixth one have come down to us. In this article the chronicles of the Delft convents of St Agatha (founded 1380) and St Barbara (founded 1401) are analysed and edited. The chronicle of St Agatha might have been written by Maria Ofhuys, mother of the convent around 1450. She t…

An Integrated Survey of Roman Urbanization at Potentia, Central Italy
Our research contributes to the study of Roman urbanization in the Italian peninsula, both in the central Adriatic area and beyond. It focuses on the integrated use of archaeological field methods and non-destructive techniques. The study of the urban layout of the city of Potentia is an example of the use of low altitude aerial detection combined with regular grid-walking and geophysical survey to intensively investigate abandoned classical town…

Een zoet verval - Nederlandse reizigers en hun visie op de stad aan de stroom (1600-1750)
Deserted quays, ramshackle warehouses, rusty cranes, dilapidated houses, and pavements speckled with rank weeds: the stereotypical images used by early modern travellers to illustrate the decline of Antwerp after the Spanish Recapture (1585) and the closing of the Scheldt are well known. Deriving new insights from recent literature on heritage travel and lieux de mémoire, and by using a select body of Dutch travel books in manuscript, this articl…

Le pays où on ne sait pas lire’
Files of the local criminal court in Antwerp – the Hoogere Vierschaar – are used in this article to assess the evolution of literacy and numeracy in Antwerp. Both forms of human capital are habitually seen as strongly intertwined, yet our evidence shows that they were not always geared to one another. Literacy did not grow significantly in Antwerp during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, while it reached its high-water mark in other Europ…
The discovery of the school of gladiators at Carnuntum, Austria
Sophisticated techniques of archaeological survey, including airborne imaging spectroscopy, electromagnetic induction and ground-penetrating radar, are opening up new horizons in the non-invasive exploration of archaeological sites. One location where they have yielded spectacular results is Carnuntum in Austria, on the south bank of the Danube, capital of the key Roman province of Pannonia. Excavations in the late nineteenth and twentieth centur…
