Everything about The Bromme Culture totally explained
The
Bromme culture is a late
Upper Paleolithic culture dated to the
Allerød Oscillation, ca
9700 BC-
9000 BC, a warmer spell between the
Elder Dryas and the
Younger Dryas, the last cold periods of the late
Weichsel Glaciation.
At this time, the
reindeer was the most important prey, but the Bromme people also hunted
moose,
wolverine and
beaver. The landscape was consequently a combination of
taiga and
tundra.
The culture is named after a settlement at
Bromme on western
Zealand, and it's known from several settlements in
Denmark and
Schleswig-Holstein. In
Sweden, it's known from the country's earliest known settlement at
Segebro, near
Malmö.
It is charactherized by sturdy
lithic flakes that were used for all tools, primarily
awls (
sticklar),
scrapers and
skaftunge arrow heads. No stone axes have been found.
The Bromme culture and the
Ahrensburg culture are so similar that they it has been proposed that the two cultures should be combined as one and the same under the label
Lyngby culture, with the Bromme culture being recognized as an older northern branch of the same culture as the Ahrensburg culture.
