Friday 19th the workshop ‘Inland drift sands: phases, causes and patterns’ was held at Utrecht University. The workshop was intended as a meeting between archaeologists, historians and geoscientists involved in drift sands in the Dutch pleistocene sand area and adjacent cover sand areas. We focused roughly from the Iron Age to the 18th century. We thank all participants for a fruitful discussion, which provided food for thought about the link between societies and natural hazards.
