Abstract

This book is the result of the project ‘Archeologie van de Stellingwerven’ and was presented at the conference organized by the Stellingwarver Schrieversronte in Noordwolde (province of Friesland, northern part of The Netherlands) in 2005.

They faced the difficult task of writing a book, not only of interest for archaeologists but also for a wider, non–scientific audience. The danger for such a project is always that the matter is presented in a too simple manner.
