Abstract
Tuinwallen on Texel, older than thought. The introduction of historical sod banks in the Westfrisian island of Texel
The characteristic sod banks – so-called tuinwallen – that are used as field boundaries on the Westfrisian island of Texel are usually thought to have been introduced from the 17th or 18th century. This article describes recent archaeological research that showed sod banks from the 15th century. Recent archival research even provides evidence of sod banks in the 14th century. This again raises the question when sod banks were introduced in the agricultural landscape of Texel. This question needs further archaeological research.
