He’s been working on it for a while. Archaeologist Martijn can draw that conclusion. In the area where the Houten-Castellum district was built, archaeological investigations were first carried out in 2011. It turned out to be a gold mine. From an age-old canoe to a special fish trap. And therefore also 80,000 bones that Martijn has all held in his hands. He could never have imagined that there would be such a find among all those bones. “No, most of the bones turned out to be just offal. Not that special, until we came across this one.”
