Bromme culture

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.

Only a few carbon 14 datings have been made of the Bromme hunters. These dates fall within the second half of the Allerød period. The development of the lithic technology, is unbroken development from the Federmesser hunters in beginning of the Allerød. At the beginning of the Younger Dryas, the transition Ahrensburg culture is smooth.

The culture is named after a settlement at Bromme in western Zealand, and it is known from several settlements in Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein. In Sweden, it is known from the settlement at Segebro, near Malmö, but also from Uppåkra and Vångamossen at lake Finja in northern Scania.
