Dyrholmen
Dyrholmen is a coastal habitat of the Mesolithic Ertebølle culture , about 15 km southeast of Randers in Jutland in Denmark .
The residential area was used during the period of the post-glacial sea level rise (between 5100 and 4100 BC) and gradually moved to higher levels. This approach has resulted in separate areas with distinctive material from several phases of the Ertebølle culture. The results were important for the relative chronology of the culture.
Traces of cannibalism in the form of human bones split for marrow removal were found on the living space. Besides the similar finds in Kung Björns hog in Uppland in Sweden from the late Bronze Age, this is the only evidence of such practices in Denmark .
