Locatiekeuze van de Trechterbekercultuur op kaartblad 17 (Dr.)
Samenvatting
The relation between the settlement pattern of the TRB culture and the landscape was studied for the area covered by map sheet 17, Drenthe. This was analyzed with the help of ArcMap, using the geological, geomorphological, and soil maps of this area. Archeological data were taken from Archis, the digital databank of the Rijksdienst voor het Oudheidkundig Bodemonderzoek. TRB people in Drenthe appear to have selected light, sandy soils and elevations in the landscape to locate their settlements. This finding is consistent with observations elsewhere in Europe.
