In deze scriptie zijn de gevolgen van deze kaapvaart op de economieën van Vlaanderen, Zeeland en Holland onderzocht. De periode rond de Tweede Vlaamse opstand is daarbij wat betreft economische geschiedenis extra interessant, omdat dan juist het economisch zwaartepunt verschuift van Brugge naar Antwerpen.Show less

A total of 124 individuals were encountered. The contexts were divided into two periods: 1300-1400 and 1400-1500. 98 glasses date from the 14th century, 26 date from the 15th century. In the 14th century most glasses were probably made in the Mediterranean, in the 15th century, most were probably made of Waldglas. In the Low Countries there is no site where such glasses in such an amount were found as in Sluis. Most sites in the Low Countries have a higher MNI in the 15th century, not in the 14th century. The sites, even along the same river, may show a different assemblage. In the 14th century, the sites west of Utrecht have relatively more Maigelbecher than sites east of Utrecht. In the 15th century, the sites west of Utrecht have relatively more Maigeleins than sites east of Utrecht. In general the MNI increases from the 14th to the 15th century and of the drinking vessels the Maigelbecher, Maigeleins and prunted beakers (Waldglas) start to dominate the assemblage.Show less
