Because man played an important role in the creation of shifting sands in this period in the Netherlands, this new overview is useful to better understand the interplay between people and landscape in the past. The dataset is based on various survey studies, separate field studies and new data, from which can be derived when and where man could have caused the drift sand and when the drift sand possibly posed a threat to agriculture or settlements. In addition, this dataset can function as a historical context for current shifting sands that are considered valuable natural areas.
