Schipluiden: A Neolithic Settlement on the Dutch North Sea Coast c. 3500 cal BC

edited by Leendert P Louwe Kooijmans and Peter F B Jongste

The neolithic settlement of Schipluiden was discovered by archaeologists called in to the Delfland region in 2000, where a new wastewater treatment plant was planned. It is a particularly interesting site, as it dates from a time when the local inhabitants switched from a hunter-gatherer-fisher lifestyle to one based around arable and stock farming, and was also a time of significant environmental change. 518p, b/w and col throughout (Analecta Praehistorica Leidensia 37/38, University of Leiden 2006)
