	abstract = {This contribution reports on the investigations 
at the Neolithic site of Ottenburg, located in the 
loess area of Flanders. The research must lead to the 
evaluation of the preservation of this archaeological 
site with regard to both historic and present-day 
water and tillage erosion. Additionally, it serves as 
a test case for the use of the newly developed highresolution digital terrain model (DTM) of Flanders. 
The identification of historic erosion is based on 
the current depths of (calcareous loess and clay 
illuviation) soil horizons, detected by means of hand 
augering\nthe current erosion is simulated with a 
spatially distributed erosion and sediment delivery 
model. At Ottenburg, the results of both approaches 
correspond quite well, allowing the identification of 
four zones with a different magnitude of soil erosion. 
Taking into account the established extension of the 
Neolithic site, based on the distribution of artefacts at 
the surface and microtopographic features identified 
on the DTM, a number of site management guidelines 
are proposed. Ultimately, this should result in the 
elaboration of a detailed site management plan.},
