    The excavation is closed now.
    On the square in front of the Catharina Church a skelet was found a few years ago from a boy age 14 yrs (Marcus of Eindhoven)who was burried here in medieval times (1300 ac).

    In March 2005 they started digging again because more bodies from that time (1300ac) will be tested by international specialists from all over the world and ...they will do DNA tests which....maybe could deliver information for treatment on aidspatients...

    Nico Arts, the city Archeologist will be in charge of this 1,5 yrs project together with Mick van Son, who was so nice to show and tell Robin 922 and me all about the history of the people who were berried here and will be digged out for research this month.
    Special Webcams will be installed during the project.
    People can follow all thats happening in a special room in this building and anyone in the world can follow it throught the internet..so looking forward:-)
    Ill refresh the pictures every month since i visit here each 2 weeks to see the progress
