Discovery
In May 1941, a human skull and some bones were discovered. On 21 May, the find was reported by calling the Fyns Stiftsmuseum. The museum staff were able to reconstruct the original position of the bones only because of the statements of the peat. Thus were the skull and two bones in 2.5 meters in depth, but the majority of the bones in a depth of 3 to 3.5 meters and a distance of seven to eight meters. A further two meters to the east-south a thigh bone was found.

Famous quotes containing the word discovery:
“It was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“That the discovery of this great truth, which lies so near and obvious to the mind, should be attained to by the reason of so very few, is a sad instance of the stupidity and inattention of men, who, though they are surrounded with such clear manifestations of the Deity, are yet so little affected by them, that they seem as it were blinded with excess of light.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“The gain is not the having of children; it is the discovery of love and how to be loving.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
