- Note
- The Bromme culture (Danish: Brommekultur) is a late Upper Paleolithic culture dated to c. 11,600 to 9,800 cal BC, which corresponds to the second half of the Allerød Oscillation.
At this time, reindeer was the most important prey, but the Bromme people also hunted moose/elk, wolverine and beaver. The landscape was a combination of taiga and tundra.
The culture is named after a settlement at Bromme on western Zealand, and it is known from several settlements in Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein. In Sweden, it is known from the country´s earliest known settlement at Segebro, near Malmö.
It is characterized by sturdy lithic flakes that were used for all tools, primarily awls (sticklar), scrapers, stone axes and tanged points
