since the Stone Age, some of them are now a considerable 

 distance from the present water-line. Some, on the other 



hanc^ are a t low levels ; one, for 

 instance, close to the Railway- 

 station at Korsor, is exposed only 

 at low tide, and others are always 

 covered. The " coast-finds," how- 

 ever, belong probably to different 

 classes. Thus, one at Anholt was 

 evidently a workshop of flint im- 

 plements, as is shown by the 

 character of the chips, and by the 

 M Bone" discovery of more than sixty flint 

 Im North nt ' cores. Those, on the contrary, 

 which even at the present day are 

 under water, were probably so in old times, 

 and as there are no traces of lake habi- 

 tations in Denmark, it seems the most 

 natural supposition that they were the 

 places where the fishermen used to drag 

 their nets. It is still usual to choose 

 particular spots for this purpose, and it 

 is evident that many of the rude objects 

 used in fishing, especially of the stones 

 employed as net- weights, would there be 

 lost. The objects discovered are just what 

 might have been expected under these 

 circumstances. They consist of irregular 

 Ancient Bone flint chippings, net-weights or sling-stones, 

 ^jjSSJ flakes, scrapers, awls, and axes. 

 These six different classes of objects have been 

 found in most, if not all, of the coast-finds, though 

 in different proportions. To give an idea of the 

 numbers in which they occur, I may mention that
