Ancient Village or Settlement in Zuid-Holland

Gaatkensplas is an artificial body of water constructed in 1999. Before construction archaeological remains of a prehistoric settlement were found here. Hunter-gatherers from the new stone age, about 6000 years ago used to camp in this area. Also traces of human activity from other time periods were found.

By making the water less deep at the site and covering it with a layer of gravel, the site is preserved under water in its original state for possible research by future generations. To guarantee protection the site has been declared a national monument.
