The History of Archaelogy (1219 words) |
 | Steenstrup argued that they were middens, and on his initiative the Royal Academy of Copenhagen set up, in 1848, a committee to study these sites. |
| In 1851 Steenstrup announced the conclusions of the committee to the Academy of Sciences and Worsaae to the Society of Antiquaries, and the investigations of the committee were fully published by Steenstrup in the Proceedings of the Copenhagen Academy for 1848-55. |
| Steenstrup argued that the middens belonged to the Neolithic - the original Stone Age of the north—but Worsaae held they belonged to the Old Stone Age - that they were the representatives in northern Europe of the last phase of the pre-Neolithic Stone Age being studied in western Europe. |
