Flemish settlements beyond Flanders : a review and new perspectives on transregional medieval settlement landscapes in Britain Ghent University
Examining the Intricacies and Perpetual Issues in Urban Informal Settlements: Lessons from Two Case Studies of Informal Settlements in Lahore, Pakistan Hasselt University
Informal settlements have become a central part of urban imagery. It is a self-organized form of urbanization that expands beyond the reach of the state and encroaches upon, infiltrates, and inundates cities in the Global South. The forms of urban informality develop and offer a means of habitation for the urban poor, characterized by a lack of basic services, overcrowding, economic vulnerability, and an unhygienic urban environment. In Lahore, ...
Rural settlement in the European Iron Age : relating buildings, landscape, and people in the European Iron Age Ghent University
The majority of humanity have lived out their lives in a ‘rural’ context, and even in our increasingly urbanised world almost half of the global population still live in rural areas. In the European Iron Age, the vast mass of the population clearly lived in small hamlets and farmsteads, and this overarching ‘rurality’ is important for understanding these societies. While there has been a pronounced focus in recent archaeological research on ...

'Leffinge - Oude Werf': the first archaeozoological collection from a terp settlement in coastal Flanders Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In the Low Countries, the study of animal remains from Iron Age to early medieval coastal settlements has a long tradition. As early as 1913, Van Giffen published a pioneering study dealing with zoological finds from the coastal sites known as wierden in (the province of) Groningen and as terpen in neighbouring Friesland (Fig. 1). His work was later continued by the Biologisch-Archeologisch Instituut founded in 1920 at the University of ...
Procedural events, judge characteristics, and the timing of settlement Hasselt University University of Antwerp
We draw on a unique, detailed dataset of civil cases adjudicated at a major Belgian court and use the competing risks framework to examine how the timing of settlement depends, first, on the completion of key procedural events and, second, on the characteristics of the adjudicating judge. Congruent with recent research that emphasizes the importance of information flows, we find that the time to settlement is negatively associated with the ...
Lake or floodplain?: Mid-Holocene settlement patterns and the landscape dynamic of the Izica floodplain (Ljubljana Marshes, Slovenia) Ghent University
The Ljubljana Marshes (Ljubljana Moor) is a large wetland in the southern part of the Ljubljana basin in the central part of Slovenia, with well-preserved archaeological evidence of settlements. The data have traditionally been interpreted as the remnants of the prehistoric pile dwelling settlements located in a shallow lake. In this paper, we present new data that challenge these interpretations. An aerial LiDAR survey of the Izica floodplain ...
