It has been identified through analyses of the settlement at Meiendorf north of Hamburg , Germany . It is characterized by ''tångespets'' and ''zinken'' tools, which were used as Chisel s when working with Horn s. The culture was spread from northern France , to southern Scandinavia in the north and to Poland in the east. In the early 1980 s, the first find from the culture in Scandinavia was excavated at Jels in Sønderjylland . Recently, new finds have been discovered at e.g. Finja in northern Skåne . Latest finds(2005) have it that these people in summer travelled far north along the Norwegian coast - dryshod since the sea level was 50 m lower than today. In northern Germany, camps with layers of detritus have been found. In the layers, there is a great deal of Horn and Bone , and it appears that the Reindeer was an important prey. The distribution of the finds in the settlements show that the settlements were small and only inhabited by a small group of people. At a few settlements, archaeologists have discovered circles of stone, which were weights for a Teepee covering. REFERENCES |
