The Scandinavian region has a rich prehistory,…
11277 BCE to 9550 BCE
During the ice age, all of Scandinavia was covered by glaciers most of the time, except for the southwestern parts of what we now know as Denmark.
When the ice begins retreating, the barren tundras are soon inhabited by reindeer and elk, and Ahrenburg and Swiderian hunters from the south follow them here to hunt occasionally.
The geography is very different from what we know today.
Sea levels are much lower; the island of Great Britain is connected by a land bridge to mainland Europe and the large area between Great Britain and the Jutlandic peninsula—now beneath the North Sea and known as Doggerland—is inhabited by tribes of hunter-gatherers.
