Stone Age Hunters Liked Their Carbs. Analyses of Stone Age settlements reveal that the hunters were healthy and would gladly eat anything they got their hands on, including carbohydrates - contrary to the modern definition of Paleolithic, or Stone Age diet.

Glossary (as far as I can glean!) Dysse: 'dolmen' = burial chamber, often with a mound (plural - dysser) Dyssekammer: 'dolmen chamber' = burial chamber - as we usually use dolmen Runddysse: 'round dolmen' = a chambered round barrow (plural - runddysser) Langdysse: 'long dolmen' = a chambered long barrow (plural - langdysser) Jættestue: 'giant's stones' = passage grave (plural - jættestuen) Høj: 'hill' = barrow Skibssætning: 'stone ship' = megalithic boat-shaped setting Books & maps For our trip Jane and I used Julian's The Megalithic European (see link at top of page to 'The Books') and James Dyer's Discovering Archaeology in Denmark (1972, Shire ISBN 0 85263158 8). For Langeland, we also used the Danish language Oldtidsmindser På Langeland (1996 Langelands Museum ISBN 87 88509-133) available at the Tourist Information office (and, I would imagine, Langelands Museum itself) in Rudkøbing, Langelands. It doesn't seem to be available on their website though - http://www.langelandsmuseum.dk/museum_en We also got a useful 1:50,000 map/leaflet in English Six cycling trips on Langeland (ISBN 87-7343-380-2) from the Tourist Information office. Mapwise, we used the Euromap 1:30,000 of Denmark (ISBN 3-575-03112-6), which allied to some maps printed from the Visit Denmark website (see below) allowed us to find pretty much everywhere we looked for. I also did some web research with limited success. I have posted the most useful site I found for the whole country (Visit Denmark) in the Links section below. I've posted a link specifically for Northern Jutland on the Jutland page. There is also a great PDF document available for some of the sites on Als, see Links on the Als page. |

Kulturarv.dk - Fund Og FortisminderThe Sites and Monuments Records for Denmark. Click 'Kort' to search by map, or 'Tekst' to type in a place name or choose a period of (pre)history. Think of the usefulness in planning your megalithically themed Danish holiday :) For the folklore obsessive, the most exciting section is here. Yes it's in Danish. But many hours of translationy fun could await. |

Google Books'The Primeval Antiquities of Denmark' by J J A Worsaae, translated (and applied to English sites) by William J Thoms (1849). So it's dated in its theories. But it's got lots of illustrations. |

Visit DenmarkIn English. Covers the whole of Denmark. Site pages usually have a little basic info and include links to interactive maps (not as good as the inline maps on this site though!) Search takes a little getting used to but is pretty good once you get the hang of it - which took me quite a while! Link is to the search page, as the navigation to it is pretty cumbersome and I couldn't find any other way to reach the information than using search! |
