Monitoring programme for the MV2, Part IV: Archeological and palaeontological finds

This is the fourth and last of a series of articles describing the extensive monitoring related to the construction of Maasvlakte 2, Port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. As far back as the 1990s during the first studies by the Main Port Rotterdam (PMR) project organisation for Maasvlakte 2 (MV2), archaeology was recognised as a subject of high importance. When the studies for MV2 were restarted in 2004 by the Port of Rotterdam Authorities (POR) a decision was made to tackle this subject as a “risk” item.
