New book: Schatten van het Mammoetstrand (Treasures of the Mammoth beach)

This book contains the latest results of the archaeological studies carried out in the framework of the extension of the harbour of Rotterdam Maasvlakte 2. This Maasvlakte 2 contains numerous fossil traces from the past. From twenty meters below the water surface, archaeologists have uncovered the remains of a hunting camp from the Mesolithic period. Tools, hunting gear and an overwhelming number of remnants of the menu that was customary in this area about 8000 years before our era. Also a piece of human scalp was discovered which seems to indicate that this hunter-gatherer was a regular visitor of the now excavated hunting camp.
