Prehistoric villages in the Netherlands

[Albion]

I came across this website about Prehistoric Drenthe and it shows some reconstructed villages which I thought I'd post:

You've got to admit: it does look very idyllic doesn't it? This is what I most admire about the Dutch countryside, how it blends from farmlands to woodlands and waterways.
It reminds me a bit of parts of East Anglia, but it looks more "untouched" whereas English countryside can often look over-managed.
The use of wood and natural materials in the construction of these buildings is quite nice as well, they just blend into the landscape and look well suited to it. I think modern designers could learn a thing or two by looking at the style of buildings from centuries past, especially on blending buildings into a landscape.

Nice photographs. I agree it looks like the sort of place where people lived in peace.

The highlighted comment struck me funny, though. Wouldn't it be something to come across a pre-historic village and find a lot of stainless-steel framed plate glass windows? THAT would send the archeologists 'round the bend!
:eek:
Thanks for the link. Interesting stuff!

Yeah, that would be something. :p

The houses look like the reconstructions of Stone age houses excavated in northern Finland.

They were built in long rows like this:

Pre-historic life was the same all over Europe.

Yeah, we had little wooden houses similar to the ones in the Netherlands during Anglo-Saxon times and roundhouses before that.
