Abstract
This chapter presents a synthesis of results from various disciplines, on data relating to the stratigraphy, palaeogeography, archaeozoology, archaeobotany and lithic material from Rotterdam's Yangtze Harbour (Yangtzehaven). It is aimed at integrating the results at different scaled: the site, the Rhine-Meuse estuary, and the southern North-Sea basin. Subsequently, it discusses the scientific significance of these investigations for our understanding of the area's Mesolithic occupation in an international perspective. A link is made to current research into the drowning of the postglacial landscape in what is now the North Sea.
