  • Hoe Oud Is Het Damrak Als Kade Langs De Amstel?
    hoe oud is het Damrak? hoe oud is het Damrak? de ontstaansgeschiedenis van het Damrak als kade langs de Amstel 1 hoe oud is het Damrak? “Eerst zijn rond 1380 achter de westelijke woningen in de War- moesstraat pakhuizen gezet, die met hun pui in het Damrak kwa- men te staan.

  • Chrono- and Archaeostratigraphy and Development of the River Amstel: Results of the North/South Underground Line Excavations, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Troelstra5,6 1 Office for Monuments & Archaeology (Bureau Monumenten en Archeologie), Amsterdam 2 GEO-LOGICAL Earth Scientific Research & Consultancy, Delft 3 VU University, Faculty of Humanities, Department of Archaeology, Classics and Ancient Studies, Amsterdam 4 VU University, Faculty of Earth & Life Sciences, Amsterdam 5 VU University, Faculty of Earth & Life Sciences, Earth & Climate Cluster, Amsterdam 6 NCB Naturalis, Leiden ∗ Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Manuscript received: 28 May 2014, accepted: 2 November 2014 Abstract Since 2003 extensive archaeological research has been conducted in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, connected with the initial phase of the new underground system (Noord/Zuidlijn). Research has mainly focused on two locations, Damrak and Rokin, in the centre of Medieval Amsterdam. Both sites are situated around the (former) River Amstel, which is of vital importance for the origin and development of the city of Amsterdam. Information on the Holocene evolution of the river, however, is relatively sparse. This project has provided new evidence combining archaeological and geological data, and allowed the reconstruction of six consecutive landscape phases associated with the development of the River Amstel. The course of the present-day Amstel is the result of a complex interaction of processes that started with an early prehistoric tidal gully within the Wormer Member of the Naaldwijk Formation, including Late Neolithic (2400–2000 BC) occupation debris in its fill that was subsequently eroded.

    WERKGROEP VERKEER naar een betere verkeerscirculatie in de nieuwmarktbuurt In de zomer van 2014 heeft de Werkgroep Verkeer van de Bewonersraad Nieuwmarkt-Groot Waterloo het initiatief genomen om een plan te ontwerpen ter verbetering van de verkeersomstandigheden in de ruime Nieuwmarktbuurt. Het plan is bestemd voor het bestuur van Amsterdam en het Stadsdeel Amsterdam en bestaat uit de volgende onderdelen: 1. een kaart met de afbakening van het aandachtsgebied; 2. de aanleidingen en drijfveren; 3. een inventarisatie van de belangrijkste problemen; 4. een inventarisatie van de gebruikte sluiproutes, met kaart; 5. de gestelde doelen; 6. aannames; 7. een aantal scenario’s waarmee de Werkgroep Verkeer de problemen wil oplossen, die al dan niet in combinatie met elkaar kunnen worden toegepast, eventueel samen met 8. een concreet scenario om luchtvervuiling terug te dringen in de gehele binnenstad; 9. conclusies en aanbevelingen; 10. bijlagen. De Werkgroep Verkeer handelt in opdracht van de Bewonersraad en staat onder voorzitterschap van Peter Paschenegger. De leden zijn: Nico Beuk, Ilco Braam, Ben van Duin, Cliff van Dijk, Mariken de Goede, Manu Hartsuyker, Guido Pouw, Evert van Voskuilen en Jet Willers. Veel dank is de Werkgroep Verkeer verschuldigd voor de hulp en adviezen van de ambtenaren Wies Daamen, Auke-Jan Drenth en Eefke van Lier.
