The actual name came from an archeological site in Denmark , named ''Maglemose'' at Mullerup on western Zealand , where the first settlement was found in 1900 . During the following century a long series of similar settlements were excavated from England to Poland and from Skåne in Sweden to northern France . The Maglemosian people lived in forest and wetland environments using fishing and hunting tools made from wood, bone and flint Microlith s. It appears that they had domesticated the Dog . Some may have lived settled lives but most were nomadic. Huts made of bark have been preseved, and the tools were made of Flintstone , Bone and Horn . A characteristic of the culture are the sharply edged Microlith s of flintstone which were used for spear heads and arrow heads. A notable feature is the Fish Spear . Sea levels in northern Europe did not reach current levels until almost 6,000 B.C. by which time they had inundated some territories inhabited by Maglemosian people. REFERENCES |
