586 SCANDINAVIAN ARCHEOLOGY. 



in a more complete manner by Mr. Monteliiis, rest upon differences 

 rather in topography than in chronology. In 1880, he published an ex- 

 cellent work on "Decoration with animal designs in the northern age 

 of iron " {La decoration avec des motifs animaux dans Vdge du fer nor- 

 dique) and in Europe during the epochs of the migrations of the peo- 

 ples. In the Aarhoger of 1882, is contained his important memoir, 8ur 

 les origines et le premier developpement de Page du bronze en Europe, 

 eclairi par les trouvailles dans le svd-est de V Europe (on the origin and 

 first development of the age of bronze in Europe, elucidated by the 

 finds in the southwest of Europe). There the author treats of the 

 finds discovered by Mr. Schliemann and of the materials derived from 

 southern Russia and Caucasus. These three works have also passed 

 through German editions. 



Among the young men connected with the museum of Copenhagen 

 Mr. Henry Petersen ought also to be named. In the number of his pub- 

 lications must be mentioned his memoir of 1875, Helleristninger i Dan- 

 mark (a resum^ in the ilfemoirs, 1877 5 "Notes on the sculptured stones 

 of Denmark"); and further, Stenalderens gravformer og deres chronologie 

 (the different kinds of tombs during the age of stone in Denmark and 

 their chronology, ^ar^oV/er, 1881); the remains of northern Germany 

 are also here treated. Otherwise, the works of this author are mainly 

 taken up with tbe archaeology of the middle ages. 



Among the other archaeologists who have been active during this 

 period in Denmark we must name also Mr. Boye, previously mentioned, 

 who has published several memoirs upon national antiquities; then Mr. 

 Zink, who iu the Aarhoger, 1871, published a very important memoir 

 tSur les tomheaux de Vdge du bronze et leurs relations avec ceux de Vdge de la 

 pierre (on the tombs of the age of bronze and their relations to those of 

 the age of stone.) Mr. Vedel, the governor of the island of Bornholm, 

 whoiu the Aarboger, 1869, 1870, 1872, 1878, and 1883, (c/. Memoirs, 1872, 

 1878, 1879,) has given the report of his researches on the prehistoric 

 antiquities of this island, researches so excellent, that there is not per- 

 haps in northern Europe any territory so correctly exjilored from the 

 point of view of its antiquities as the island of Bornholm. 



The able artist Mr. A. P. Madsen, published in 1868-'76, a splendid 

 illustrated work: Afbildninger af DansTie MindesmUrher og Oldsager 

 (Illustrated Danish remains and antiquities), three volumes in 4to, 

 containing 125 engraved tables. Another Danish artist, Mr. Magnus 

 Petersen, has also devoted himself to the illustration of Danish antiq- 

 uities. 



A proof of the ardor with which national archaeology in Denmark 

 was cultivated also by private individuals is afforded by the two mag- 

 nificent works published in 1878 and 1884, by Mr. de Sehested. In the 

 vicinity of his chateau of Broholm, on the island of Fionia, this gentle- 

 man had for a series of years investigated the archaeological remains 

 with minute care, and undertaken considerable excavations, the reports 

 of which are contained in the two works mentioned. Of very special
