In total, more than six weeks of excavation took place in 2006. The main goal was to clarify the presence of stratified, undisturbed deposits, and the recovery of samples for dating and other analyses.
The first excavation zone was directly adjacent to P. Haesaerts 1993 section, allowing us to directly connect to his stratigraphy. In the course of stabilizing the section, we excavated small areas of strata 8-6 (less than 1 m2), strata 5 to 3 were excavated in larger areas. We encountered an…
