Traditionally, the Mesolithic was regarded as a time of cultural regression in northern Europe, relieved only around 4000 BC when the enlightened villagers of the Neolithic arrived on the scene, bringing with them the beginnings of agriculture. But new evidence in the last 30 years has led archaeologists to sedentary coastal dwellers who lived in an era of innovation, interaction, and successful adaptation to a rapidly changing environment. The excavations at Smakkerup Huse help to elaborate and evaluate this revised perspective. Although the settlement on land was destroyed by wave erosion, submerged deposits adjacent to the settlement included a midden and a fishing and boat-landing area in excellent condition, with numerous organic materials surviving intact and dating from 5000 to 3900 BC.
