Stone Age settlement found under the sea in Denmark
Archaeologists are searching for ancient coastal settlements submerged by rising sea levels over 8,500 years ago in the Bay of Aarhus, Denmark.
This summer, divers descended about 8 meters (26 feet) below the waves close to Aarhus, Denmark’s second-biggest city, and collected evidence of a Stone Age settlement from the seabed. The goal is to explore sunken Northern European landscapes and uncover lost Mesolithic settlements as offshore wind farms and other sea infrastructure expand. As today’s world faces rising sea levels driven by climate change, the researchers hope to shed light on how Stone Age societies adapted to shifting coastlines more than eight millennia ago.
