Archaeology in Geldrop
Geldrop has proven a fertile ground for archaeological digs, with finds from various historical and prehistorical eras.
The exact age of Geldrop isn't known. Through the years, several archaeological finds were made which testify to prehistoric occupants.
Finds in the south of Zesgehuchten (a district of Geldrop) indicate small settlements from the New Stone Age (about 3000 BC).
Finds from the Roman Period and the early Middle Ages have been found off Genoenhuis and Hoog Geldrop (districts in Geldrop). In the autumn of 1989, archaeological diggings at the nearby 't Zand Cemetery found four settlements from the late Roman Period and the Middle Ages: a period which covers the years between 350 and 1225 AD.
