DE NEOLITHISCHE VEENWEG VAN NIEUW-DORDRECHT (DR.). EEN ARCHEOLOGISCH MONUMENT OP DE HELLING

Samenvatting

The Neolithic wooden trackway of Nieuw­ Dordrecht, dated to c. 2100 BC, since 1981 has been a protected archaeological monu­ment. The area of bog, in which the track is situated, is drying out to such a degree that the conservation of the trackway is threat­ened. In 1991 the layout of the protected area was rearranged on the basis of hydro­logical research, with the purpose of rewet­ting the peat. This offers a good chance of preserving the trackway.
