 © T. Maarleveld. Financial monitoring of expenditure should be combined with monitoring of the exertions and their efficiency. In the multiyear Aanloop Molengat project, an analysis of bottom time was made in relation to primary and supportive tasks.
In the second graph invested manpower is expressed in fieldwork man-days. As this was
a public archaeology project,
it involved a mixed team.The Aanloop Molengat site lies offshore in the North Sea, exposed to the predominantly westerly winds in just 16 m of water. The project comprised the excavation of a ship laden with ingots of lead
and tin from Poland and Czechia among other consignments. It showed that the ship departed from the Dutch Republic in 1635 or shortly after. It was a ship of considerable size as its cargo weighed more than 600 tons.
