The upcoming National Geographic magazine issued in the Netherlands and Belgium will feature an article about the mass graves from the 80-year war, discovered at the 'Paardenmarkt' in Alkmaar in 2010. Different aspects of the investigation will be higlighted, such as the historical, osteological and isotope analysis. The results first published here are a sneak preview of Rachel Schats' extensive Phd-research, focusing not only on the Alkmaar massgrave, but on the Paardenmarkt cemetery as a whole, compared to several other Medieval cemeteries from rural and urban settings.
