Since the creation of the Wadden Sea, the area has been formed by gullies that can move or change directions over time under the influence of tidal currents.116 Insight into these geomorphological 113 ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/new_york_charts/welcome.html#info (accessed 29-01-2017). 114 Areas where battles have taken place may be referred to as landscapes of war. Where sea battles have taken place, we usually see no evidence on the surface of the water. However, historical knowledge (‘what has happened according to a people’), knowledge of warfare and sailing (‘what would be the most logical thing to do’) may assist in developing a view about what may actually have happened. Based on such interpretati- ons we can decipher the seabed and make an estimation of what material witnesses may be left under water. At the same time, any evidence found on or in the seabed may strengthen or weaken our theories and thus assist us to move closer to the truth. 115 Westerdahl 1996. 116 See also ▇▇▇▇ et al. 1995
