Archaeologists in Denmark are uncovering a Stone Age settlement submerged by rising sea levels over 8,500 years ago. This discovery, part of a large EU-funded project, is revealing details about life in a coastal settlement. Divers are finding well-preserved artifacts like tools, bones, and wood, thanks to the oxygen-free environment of the seabed. This research, using methods like dendrochronology, offers insights into how past societies adapted to rising sea levels, providing valuable context for today's climate change challenges.
