Abstract:

The village of Coxyde, coinciding with the parish of Beniardskerke, was situated on the south bank of the eastern branch of the Zwin tidal inlet, in nowadays West Zeelandic Flanders. It is certain that the parish of Beniardskerke originated in the High Middle Ages. The harbour of Coxyde joined the economic success of Bruges and its outports during the Late Medieval Period. Due to a combination of economic decline, political jousting and the consequences of revolt and war the village shrank during the 15th and 16th centuries. Coxyde eventually disappeared from the landscape because of the inundation of the region during the Eighty Years’ War, making it one of the so-called drowned villages of Zeeland. Thanks to an interdisciplinary research, combining historical sources, remote sensing techniques and archaeological fieldwalking it was possible to trace back the exact location of individual landscape features of the village and reveal the main lines of its socio-economic and topographical development.

ABSTRACT:

Ash cupels were widely used in early modern Europe for small-scale refining of noble metals in artisanal workshops, mints and assay offices. The manufacture and use of cupels display considerable variability from context to context, which poses both challenges and opportunities for modern investigation. Here, we present the analytical study of an unusually large cupel recovered from castle of Middleburg-in-Flanders (Belgium), probably dated to the sixteenth or early seventeenth century, which we discuss in connection to historical sources and other archaeological finds. We demonstrate that the cupel was made of bone ash mixed with a small fraction of another calcareous material, and most likely used for the refining of silver heavily debased with copper. We illustrate simple methods to investigate the manufacture of cupels and the nature and amount of metals being refined, as well as approaches to assess and discuss cupellation performance in archaeological contexts.
