11,000 BC: A Glimpse into the Past of the Bromme Culture through its Tools, National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark The captivating image before you offers a window into the ancient world of the Bromme Culture, a prehistoric civilization that thrived around 11,000 BC in Europe, specifically in what is now known as Scandinavia. This intriguing collection of tools, displayed proudly at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen, Denmark, provides a tangible link to our distant past. The Bromme Culture is recognized for its innovative lithic technology, which is showcased in this assemblage of points, scrapers, burins, blades, and cores. These tools, made primarily from flint, were essential for the daily lives of our ancestors during the Upper Paleolithic period. Points, such as the elegant examples in the foreground, were used for various purposes, including hunting and projectile weapons. Scrapers, like the one in the lower right corner, were employed for processing hides and preparing animal skins. Burins, with their sharp, pointed tips, were used for incising and engraving, likely for decorative or functional purposes. Blades, thin and sharp, were versatile tools used for cutting, while cores, the larger, rougher pieces of stone, were the starting points for tool production. The intricate and precise nature of these tools speaks to the advanced knowledge and skill of the Bromme Culture. This collection offers a glimpse into the daily lives and technological prowess of our ancient ancestors. The National Museum of Denmark invites us to explore the rich history of prehistoric Europe and to appreciate the ingenuity of the Bromme Culture.
