Luc Amkreutz (1978) studied Prehistory at the University of Leiden. In 2004 he graduated cum laude with a study of the earliest farmers in the Netherlands (Linearbandkeramik) and their settlements along the river Meuse. From 2004 to 2008 he was involved in the Malta Harvest project 'From Hardinxveld to Noordhoorn - from Forager to Farmer', that, from a broad and multi-disciplinary perspective, analysed the Neolithisation process in the Lower Rhine Area. From 2008 onwards he has been working at the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (National Museum of Antiquities) in Leiden as curator of the Prehistory of the Netherlands.
