Palaeolithic Italy
Advanced studies on early human adaptations in the Apennine peninsula
2018 || Paperback || Valentina Borgia e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

Vroege `Haagse’ boeren op begraven duinen
De Wateringse Binnentuinen zijn nu een ruim opgezette nieuwbouwwijk van Den Haag, met veel groen en water. Bijna vijfduizend jaar geleden was het daar nog veel ruimer, groener en waterrijker. Hier lag toen een duinenrij, vlakbij de toenmalige kustlijn, midden tussen moerassen. Daar verscheen rond 2900 voor Christus een groepje mensen, ongetwijfeld er boomstamkano. Ze verbleven er een paar dagen in een schuilhut en aten er een bruinvis op. Niet lang ...
