Before the construction of a new bridge over the sound, geophysical data from the bridge corridor and other areas affected by the development project were used to give a representation of the moraine till as a proxy for the submerged prehistoric topography, with the topographical interpretation serving as a base for appointing areas with high potential for finding well-preserved Mesolithic sites. Several new Mesolithic sites were found during test excavations. The sites are preserved at different depths in the channel and range in date over the entire Danish Mesolithic period. All sites are located along former waterfronts, and the majority showed good preservation for organic material. Four of the discovered sites have been subject to excavations. The sites are located at different elevations and have between them the pot...

The areas in question may also be covered with sediments so thick that it would be impossible to identify potential traces of early prehistoric settlement solely by diver survey. Here, the offshore equipment of the development industry can be of great help . The methodology may appear brutal, but in practice it allows for the recovery of even very small artefacts and fragile constructions, while also providing a fundamental insight into the sediments from which the finds come.
