The earliest well-dated evidence of human habitation in the Netherlands consists of flint artifacts utilizing the Levalloisian stone-flaking technique. These objects were discovered in the loess-covered Belvedere quarry near Maastricht, located on the border between the Netherlands and Belgium.
These artifacts have been dated to approximately 250,000 years ago, a period that corresponds with an early interstadial phase during the Saale Glacial Stage.1
