Bromme culture
The late Paleolithic Bromme culture is named after the Bromme site near Sorø on the Danish island of Zealand . In Germany it is also called Lyngby culture after the place where it was found in Nørre Lyngby in Jutland . It lasted from about 11,400 to 10,500 BC. And was discovered in 1944 by the Danish archaeologist Erik Westerby (1901–1981). There are mainly scattered individual finds, including stem tips such as the Lyngby tip and axes made from reindeer antler such as the Lyngby ax.
It is particularly common in Denmark , Skåne and Northern Germany during the Allerød Interstadial . The economy was based on hunting elk and giant deer . Compared to the previous Hamburg culture , the importance of reindeer hunting decreased.
Material culture
The Silexverarbeitung shows similarities for simultaneous penknife culture . Blades were made from cylindrical cores by direct hard impact. The face was renewed with partial core discs.
Living spaces
From Langå one's living space with central hearth known. A stone concentration of 3 to 4 m in diameter could indicate the location of a tent . In Stoksbjerg Vest the hearths were 58 cm tall, slightly deepened and contained a lot of thermally damaged flint . A rectangular area of 4.5 by 5 m might indicate the location of a tent.
