A Matter of Life and Death at Mienakker (the Netherlands). NAR 045 Late Neolithic Behavioural Variability in a Dynamic Landscape. This publication highlights the Mienakker site, excavated in 1990. Mienakkers had an advantage over other as yet unanalysed Neolithic sites in the sense that many of the material categories had already been studied. Houseplans had been identified and the well-preserved human burial, known as ‘Cees’ was published in 1991. In this project all kind of specialists did closely work work together to reveal all the cultural/ ecological details and other data. In summary, we can conclude that Mienakker may be interpreted as a site that was inhabited year-round, where a wide range of very diverse activities were oerformed. It was inhabited and returned to for many years, Mienakker evolved from ‘home’ to become a place of parting and memory.
