Archaeologists have found an ancient settlement from 8,500 years ago in the Bay of Aarhus, Denmark, reflecting how humans responded to the rise in sea levels thousands of years ago. Archaeologists believe that the melting ice after the Last Ice Age accelerated the rise in sea levels, forcing humans living on the coast to relocate. They discovered different objects, including tools, at the submerged site after carrying out an excavation. The lack of oxygen in the surroundings has allowed the objects to remain in good condition, which will enable scientists to study them.
