Krogsbølle residence
The Krogsbølle residential area was discovered in a residential area on the northeastern outskirts of Nakskov on Lolland in Denmark . The traces of the first humans in Denmark come from reindeer hunters who made a short stop here around 14,000 years ago when the Ice Age was over. When the ice retreated to the north, the hunters followed their prey into newly ice-free landscapes. Such old dwellings were only found in South Jutland and on Lolland.
The excavations revealed a snapshot of life 14,000 years ago. The flint tools show the success of the hunt. Reindeer provided much that humans needed to live. Clothing, tools, and tents made in Ren ensured that the hunter families survived in the harsh conditions on the edge of the known world. The first inhabitants of Denmark lived on the bank of a lake at today's Løjtoftevej. The lake is the last remnant of the once larger lake. Deposits in the lake showed that people were moving in an open landscape. There were dwarf birches, meadows and reindeer that lived in large herds. The skeleton of Denmark's oldest seagull (from around 12,300 BC) was also found in the lake . DNA analyzes show that it is a herring , arctic or herring gull .
