Maaike De Waal and other archaeologist have published a book ‘Managing Our Past Into The Future – Archaeological Heritage Management in the Dutch Caribbean‘. A chapter of this book describes the creation of predictive map of potentially valuable archaeological sites. This fits well in the system of Dutch heritage management. This has set as primary goal that archaeological values should be preserved.
The creation of archaeological maps provides the first impetus for allowing archaeologists as well as planning officers to know which archaeological values are actually present in an area, and in which areas as yet unidentified values might be expected. This facilitates effective measures to be taken to preserve these remains.
