Archaeology North Sea 2000

The Global Archaeological Map of the Continental Plat shows the chance of finding ships for the Dutch part of the Continental Plat. This card is presented as a separate card for two reasons. First, the scale level does not match that of the IKAW. The mapping scale of this map is 1:500,000. Secondly, the coordinate system used for the land area does not apply here. The geographical frame of reference consists of UTM coordinates. Also on this map the chance of success is indicated in three categories. The definition of the high probability of hit corresponds to the underwater areas on the IKAW. However, the boundary between medium and low has not been laid in the presence or absence of slanted trellis deposits. The average rating of this map also includes those areas in which the covering sand waves have a height of more than 4 meters. On a separate layer of map, the areas where fens and clays have been preserved are indicated. What was asked about Holocene deposits can occur under and in the base peat from the Mesolithic.
