- Resum
- In 2011 and in 2014, large-scale excavations were conducted at the Margaretha and Myosotis area, west of the city centre of Kampen, as a result of the planned construction of a new care home at the site. The excavations brought to light remains of a medieval infirmary that included a chapel (gasthuiskapel), cemetery as well as houses from the 14th century. This chapter will focus on the infirmary and 89 primary skeletal remains found in 2014 to learn more about medieval health care in Kampen. Specific questions will address who was cared for in the hospital and what kind of diseases were treated in this infirmary. To place the results in a broader context, comparisons will be made with other hospital collections from the Netherlands. This article will conclude with a discussion on whether hospital collections have a specific osteoarchaeological signature, that is, are hospital patients recognisable through demographic and palaeopathological characteristics?
