The Swifterbant Archaeological Site in Flevoland is one of the most significant prehistoric discoveries in
the Netherlands. Dating back over 7,000 years, this site reveals the remains of early human settlements
that lived along the ancient riverbanks of what is now modern-day Swifterbant. Archaeological
excavations uncovered tools, pottery, and traces of primitive agriculture — evidence of how early
communities adapted to life in this watery landscape. It’s an ideal destination for history lovers and those
interested in the origins of Dutch civilisation.
