Material Culture

The Silexverarbeitung shows similarities to the contemporaneous penknife culture. Blades were prepared by direct hard blow from cylindrical cores. The face surface has been renewed by partial core slices.

Settlements

From Langå a living space with a central hearth is known. A Silexkonzentration of 3-4 m in diameter could view the stand of a tent. In Stoksbjerg Vest the hearths were 58 cm tall and slightly deepened and contained much thermally damaged Silex. A rectangular area of ​​4.5 m by 5 m perhaps indicates the location of a tent.
