Radboud University Nijmegen builds pilgrim database of Medieval pilgrim signs
The Kunera website – containing the Nijmegen University research project of the same name – gives access to a database including more than 15,000 badges and ampullae of both religious and profane nature. The places of pilgrimage and the locations of the objects found have been mapped making visible the objects' distribution and the people's travelling behaviour at a single glance.
