High resolution lidar mapping of Belgian historical forests reveals unique pre-historic and Roman landscape features
New LiDAR surveys revolutionize mapping of sites and structures beneath forests, In Flanders, this revealed preserved prehistoric and Roman cultural landscapes, Modern forest management threatens preservation of these archaeological features
Complementarity of LA-ICP-MS and petrography in the analysis of Neolithic pottery from the Scheldt River valley, Belgium
The Environment and its Exploitation Along the Lower Scheldt River During the Roman Period (Wichelen, Belgium – Late 1st to 3rd Centuries AD)
The large number of rural Roman settlements known from the Low Countries is generally characterised by a poor preservation of ecological proxies due to the absence of waterlogged contexts. The riverside site of Wijmeers (Wichelen, Belgium), a small rural settlement located in the Lower Scheldt basin, represents a rare exception to this pattern. Due to the presence of a waterlogged sequence with Roman (late 1st–3rd centuries AD) waste layers, loca…
Faceted tools within indigenous hunter-gatherer assemblages of NW Belgium: Evidence of forager-farmer contact during the 5th millennium cal BC
A recent exhaustive analysis of lithic assemblages from four wetland sites belonging to the 5 th and early 4 th millennium cal BC, all situated in the Lower-Scheldt basin of NW Belgium (East Flanders), has revealed the pres-ence of numerous faceted tools. Unknown prior to the 5 th millennium, these tools constitute a totally new type of tool within hunter-gatherer contexts of the Scheldt basin. Typologically, they seem to resemble similar tools f…
Population collapse or human resilience in response to the 9.3 and 8.2 ka cooling events: A multi-proxy analysis of Mesolithic occupation in the Scheldt basin (Belgium)
This paper explores the impact of environmental, e.g. sea level rise, and climatic events, e.g. abrupt cooling events, on Mesolithic populations (ca. 11,350 to 6600 cal BP) living in the western Scheldt basin of Belgium and Northern France. The Mesolithic in this study-area has been extensively studied during the last few decades, leading to an extensive database of radiocarbon dates (n = 418), sites (n = 157) and excavated loci (n = 145). A mult…
The oldest cereals in the coversand area along the North Sea coast of NW Europe, between ca. 4800 and 3500 cal BC, at the wetland site of ‘Bazel-Sluis’ (Belgium)
It’s all in the Pixels: High-resolution remote-sensing data and the mapping and analysis of the archaeological and historical landscape
In Flanders (Belgium) a large amount of remote-sensing data has been acquired and processed over the past few years, including high-resolution lidar and multi/hyperspectral aerial photography. These new data are contributing to the detection of archaeological sites and the characterisation of the cultural/historical landscape. Of particular use in historically stable areas under forest and pasture, lidar demonstrates the presence of a large numbe…
Wetland landscape dynamics, Swifterbant land use systems, and the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition in the southern North Sea basin
Middle-Holocene alluvial forests and associated fluvial environments: A multi-proxy reconstruction from the lower Scheldt, N Belgium
Analyses of pollen, plant macrofossils (seeds, fruits, wood and mosses), molluscs, diatoms and vertebrate (mainly fish) remains allowed a detailed reconstruction of a middle-Holocene alluvial forest and its associated hydrological conditions. The use of multiple proxies resulted in a taxonomically more detailed and environmentally more comprehensive understanding of terrestrial as well as aquatic habitats. The results demonstrate possible biases …
