Diobolgeldæ (The Devil’s Money)
Well-excavated cult sites are key to identifying and understanding changing ritual behaviour in the Christianisation period. Unfortunately, such sites are rare. Recent metal-detected finds near the hamlet of Hezingen (the Netherlands) prompted archaeological excavations that have brought to light the remains of a 7th-century open-air cult site possibly connected with immigrants. The site consisted of a row of posts and a large boulder situated in…
Mapping Lost Woodland. An Attempt to Use the Spatial Distribution of Woodland-Related Place Names as a Proxy for Localizing Woodland in the Middle Ages
After many centuries, much of Europe is now largely deforested. Today, plans for reforestation are ongoing. These plans have the potential to significantly impact the landscape. As a contribution to the current debate on large-scale reforestation in the Netherlands, we have tried to conduct a quick and overall scan to determine whether the spatial distribution of woodland-related place names can have an evidential value for locating surviving woo…

Route persistence. Modelling and quantifying historical route-network stability from the Roman period to early-modern times (AD 100–1600)
Research on route-network stability is rare. In time, due to cultural and/or natural causes, settlement locations and route orientation shift. The nature of these spatial changes sheds light on the complex interaction between settlements and surrounding natural landscape conditions. This study investigates the stability of route networks in the Netherlands during the past two millennia by determining their persistence through time. Environmental,…
Peat People. On the Function and Context of Medieval Artificial Platforms in a Coastal Wetland, Eelder- and Peizermaden, the Netherlands
Large, artificial habitation platforms are widely distributed along the southern North Sea coasts. In this article, we will focus on the less known, small medieval platforms situated further inland, on the edge of the extensive peat bogs which until medieval times covered much of the lowlands of the Netherlands. We have confronted data from the area Eelder- and Peizermaden with existing models on the dynamics of human colonization and exploitatio…
A Toolbox for Archaeological Heritage Management. Maps, methods and more for effective and efficient selection of valuable archaeology
With the aim of providing knowledge for informed choices, a series of tools have been developed for archaeological heritage management in the Netherlands. They include maps, datasets, methods, guidelines, best practice and web-based applications to facilitate the effective and efficient selection of valuable archaeological remains. The products relate to archaeological predictive modelling, disturbances by agriculture and other activities, archae…
Controls on late-Holocene drift-sand dynamics
Holocene drift-sand activity in the northwest European sand belt is commonly directly linked to population pressure (agricultural activity) or to climate change (e.g. storminess). In the Pleistocene sand areas of the Netherlands, small-scale Holocene drift-sand activity began in the Mesolithic, whereas large-scale sand drifting started during the Middle Ages. This last phase not only coincides with the intensification of farming and demographic p…

Woodland Dynamics as a Result of Settlement Relocation on Pleistocene Sandy Soils in the Netherlands (200 BC–AD 1400)
In this paper we investigate the potential of charcoal kilns as indicators (proxy data) of the interaction between settlement dynamics and the history of woodland presence, composition and structure. The results demonstrate that in our research area (Pleistocene sandy soils of the Netherlands) woodland regeneration and deforestation can be traced by a careful examination of the archaeological remains from charcoal production, provided such remain…

Finding a Way
This study focuses on reconstructing landscape prerequisites for Roman and early‐medieval routes in the Netherlands. We applied spatial modeling to modern and paleogeographical landscape data in order to determine geographical obstacles for possible translocation in ca. A.D. 100 and 800 via land and water. Network‐friction values were calculated to produce a spatial model of possible movement corridors and to enable the integration of archaeologi…
Establishing the dates of farm sites (a.d. 800–present) in Salland (the Netherlands)
We present an interdisciplinary method for establishing date ranges of farm sites (a.d. 800–present) and reconstructing regional settlement dynamics. An experimental field strategy was designed to refine estimates regarding the ages of individual farmsteads based on historical data and physical and historical geography. Archaeological test pitting was employed to recover settlement debris in carefully selected locations. In the course of one week…

Proposals for a practical system of significance evaluation in archaeological heritage management
Significance evaluation plays a central role in archaeological heritage management. In this paper, a practical approach is presented based on experiences and recent discussions in the Netherlands. A restricted number of values (perception, physical quality and intrinsic quality) are operationalized as criteria in order to evaluate archaeological phenomena. In this manner, a more transparent framework is created to help determine if a monument is …

Assessing the Scale and Organisation of Germanic Iron Production in Heeten, the Netherlands
A Germanic settlement at Heeten, which was only partly excavated, produced evidence for large-scale iron production. Combining several research methods, an attempt was made to gain insight into the operation, scale, and structure of this production. The research was not only focussed on the excavation area itself, but also on the surrounding area. Apart from X-ray combined with sieve-residue analysis of soil-samples (taken primarily for archaeo-b…

La destruction progressive du patrimoine archéologique à cause de la rationalisation de l'espace rural nécessite la vigilance constante des archéologues. Pour des raisons budgétaires et par manque de temps leurs interventions sur le terrain doivent être rapides et efficaces. Ceci nécessite une capacité à faire des diagnostics fiables dès la première phase de l'intervention sur le terrain. Les moyens techniques conventionnels (dont la pelle mécani…
An experiment in archaeological site location
Regional models portraying archaeological expectation or sensitivity based on knowledge of the current archaeological situation can be of great use to archaeologists in the Netherlands. If past work can be used to guide future efforts to the most archaeologically sensitive regions, benefits in efficiency, cost‐reduction, preservation, etc. can be realized. A GIS‐based approach to archaeological modeling is described that summarizes archaeological…
