About Jos de MoorWilko van Zijverden

Wilko van Zijverden was born on August the 6th 1969 in Rozendaal (the Netherlands). In 1987 he graduated from high school and he started the study physical geography at Utrecht University. In August 1993 he received his masters degree in Quaternary geology. The subject of the Masters thesis was a reconstruction of the Late Weichselian landscape of the Bommelerwaard in the central river area of the Netherlands. In 1991 he started with the study of archaeology at Leiden University. In august 1997 he received his masters degree in ecological archaeology. The subject of the masters thesis were the methods used during the archaeological field evaluation in advance of the construction of the Betuwe freight railway. After receiving his masters degree in geology he started to work as a physical geographer in the field of archaeology. After three years of successive temporary work in the Netherlands and Germany he started in 1996 as a physical geographer at the State Archaeological Service (ROB). He continued his work with ADC-ArcheoProjecten after the split-up of ROB and ADC-ArcheoProjecten in 1998. In 2007 he started in addition to his job at ADC-ArcheoProjecten as a part-time lecturer at Saxion University for Applied Sciences in Deventer. In 2009 he left ADC-ArcheoProjecten to join the newly founded company EARTH-Integrated Archaeology where he is still appointed. In august 2011 he was part-time posted at Leiden University for a period of five years in the project Farmers of the Coast. This project was funded by the Dutch Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). The project Farmers of the Coast revolves around the thesis that Bronze Age coastal communities were thriving farming communities with their own cultural identity and with a central position in communication networks. Within the framework of this project this PhD-thesis has been written. It focusses on the development of the landscape of West-Frisia between 2000 and 800 cal BC.
