This is not related to the story as such, but I live in Aarhus and this is the first I hear about it. I read three national news outlets and one specific to my local region of Østjylland a couple of times a day. I wonder if I should swap some of them. I know about black trashbags being thrown out of a window in the white house and then I find an actually interesting non-tech story about something happening right outside my house here on HN...

Archaeologists tend to keep such expeditions fairly hush-hush until they’re done with their research. If they don’t, they run the risk of treasure hunters ploughing through their find, destroying information, at night.

So, the villagers likely knew there were people working on the beach, but may not have known they were archeologists or that they found a Stone Age settlement.

This settlement is out at sea, about 8m underwater.

That makes it harder to protect against treasure hunters not easier.
