Since 1997 he has been the provincial archaeologist of the province Drenthe.

(English title Through nature to eternity.)[3] Since 1990 van der Sanden has been working on the scientific verification of find records and archaeological finds of bog bodies in the Netherlands and Germany, especially from the nachlass of the German scientist Alfred Dieck.[4] Wijnand van der Sanden has also published several works on Neolithic cultures of the Netherlands.[1] Wijnand van der Sanden is also a member of various thesis committees for different universities and supervises students in their research.
