Annemieke finds a medieval urn in her vegetable garden: ‘It was quite a coincidence that I dug in exactly that place’

Urn from the early Middle Ages found in Amerongen

Annemieke Huibers was unsuspectingly working in her vegetable garden in Amerongen when she felt something hard. She didn’t know what kind of object it was, but she immediately thought: this could be something special. It later turned out that Huibers had found an urn with human remains from the Middle Ages. The urn is part of a previously undiscovered burial field. “There was always a puzzle piece missing, which has now been found.”.
