Bejsebakken

The settlement Bejsebakken excavated from 1999 to 2000 in the southwestern part of Aalborg in Jutland in Denmark was a bell-cup settlement from the Late Neolithic (2400–1800 BC) and a settlement from the Late Iron Age .

23 house remains date from the late Neolithic and probably represent two successive phases. They testify to the production of stone tools and daggers . Bejsebakken was probably a small settlement that seasonally people came to do crafts and trade, particularly with Norway and Sweden . The spatial distribution of ceramics in the settlement is likely to reflect matrimonial traditions.

43 long houses and 350 pit houses, which are only partially simultaneous, date from the late Iron Age. There are traces of textile production in about half of the houses. Comprehensive fibula production is one of the other findings .

The Bejsebakken fibula in the Urnes style is well known .
