Abstract
SummaryIn 1878 the Society of Antiquaries, acknowledging the need for the protection of prehistoric monuments, delegated the Revd. W. C. Lukis and Sir Henry Dryden to the Netherlands to document the megalithic chamber tombs, or hunebedden, of Drente. In the face of well-meaning but erratic local ‘restoration’, Lukis and Dryden produced plans, descriptions and drawings of forty tombs and pottery from them. Although these remained unpublished, the copies sent to Assen helped to establish the high standard of A. E. van Giffen's Atlas and description of The Hunebeds in the Netherlands (1925, 1927).
