Abstract:
Dit boek bevat vierentwintig wetenschappelijke artikelen over planten en mollusken, geschreven door achtendertig collega’s en oudleerlingen van Wim Kuijper. Het merendeel van deze artikelen behandelt één of enkele soorten gevonden bij archeologische opgravingen, van bolderik via Glycymeris-schelpen tot vergeet-me-niet. Als medewerker van de Faculteit der Archeologie van de Universiteit Leiden heeft Wim met veel enthousiasme en succes veertig jaar lang studenten begeleid en collega’s van advies gediend op het gebied van plantenen molluskenresten. Zij zijn hem daarvoor dankbaar en deze bundel is daarvan het resultaat.
Het boek bevat artikelen in het Nederlands en Engels. Nederlandse bijdragen zijn voorzien van een samenvatting in het Engels en vice versa. De bijschriften van de afbeeldingen zijn tweetalig.
This book contains twenty-four scientific articles on plants and molluscs written by thirty-eight colleagues and former students of Wim Kuijper. The majority of these articles deals with one or a few species found on archaeological excavations, from corncockle via Glycymeris shells to forget-me-nots. As employee of the Faculty of Archaeology of Leiden University, for forty years and with great enthusiasm and success Wim has supervised students and advised colleagues in the fields of plant and mollusc remains. They are very grateful for this help and this compilation is the result.
The book contains contributions in both English and Dutch, with a summary in the opposite language. All captions to the figures are bilingual.
