The Eem interglacial period, which lasted from 130,000 to 110,000 BC, is when the earliest
archaeological discoveries in Denmark were made. [25] Agriculture has been practiced in
Denmark since 3900 BC, when it was first inhabited around 12,500 BC. [26] In Denmark, the
Nordic Bronze Age (1800–600 BC) was characterized by burial mounds, which left a wealth of
artifacts, such as lurs and the Sun Chariot.
Native populations started moving south during the Pre-Roman Iron Age (500 BC–1 AD), and the
first tribal Danes arrived in the region between the Pre-Roman and Germanic Iron Ages (AD–1–
400). [26] Roman coins have been discovered in Denmark, and the Roman provinces kept in
touch with the local tribes and maintained trade routes through Denmark. The discovery of the
Gundestrup cauldron is one example of how this period's strong Celtic cultural influence can be
seen in Denmark and much of North-West Europe.
