Burial site of Trijntje, the oldest skeletal remains ever found in the Netherlands. The woman lived around 5400bc. She was buried in a pit together with a dog. Her name is a reference to the trains that now run next to the site.
Other finds at the site suggest this location was used as a base camp for a group of hunter gatherers.
More information and a reconstruction can be found at the local musem 'De Koperen Knop' in Hardinxveld-Giessendam.
