We went to the dunevalley where these foundations of the prehistioric houses were found. In the area were pretty high (old) dunes. The location of habituation was a wide valley. There is no sign left of the archeological findings.

Brabers

During re-allotment work on Schouwen, the remains of a Late Stone Age settlement emerged near Haamstede in 1957. This site is called Brabers. The settlement there possibly took place on an old beach ridge near the mouth of the Scheldt. The archaeologists found traces of at least three house plans. In an old living layer they found pottery shards and flint objects, among other things. Among the flint material, in addition to scrapers and drills, were a large number of arrowheads, several of which had a transverse cut instead of a point. They are therefore called transverse spikes.

Deadly

Such arrowheads caused strong bleeding wounds to shot game and were very lethal. The narrower part was wrapped with intestines or tree bark and sometimes attached to a wooden arrow shaft with wood tar. This has been demonstrated in several foreign finds.

Vlaardingen Culture

The archaeological remains found near Haamstede belong to the so-called Vlaardingen Culture (3500-2500 B.C.). Near that town, important occupation remains from the same period were also discovered. Considering the house plans, people at that time probably resided permanently or semi-permanently in the coastal region. Brabers' settlement may have been in use in the same place throughout the year, but people could also have lived elsewhere temporarily. The beach embankment was suitable for small-scale arable farming, but animal husbandry will have been more important economically. Indeed, the overgrown plain behind the beach wall provided a suitable place for cattle.
