Prehistoric Society study tour of the Netherlands

摘要

Clogs, windmills, cheese, tulips and Amsterdam: these are all things one thinks of when planning a trip to the Netherlands. However, the Prehistoric Society study tour to the Netherlands included none of these. Instead, this archaeological excursion brought us to barrow landscapes, megaliths, museums, excavations and a variety of fascinating sites. It combined two excursions: the Prehistoric Society study tour and a prehistory course for postgraduate students. So it was that we embarked on a five-day trip through the Netherlands with 15 Society members, 13 students, 2 Leiden professors (Harry Fokkens and Corrie Bakels) and 1 coach driver.
