Radiometric datings of different animal species suggest that suitable conditions for settlement in southern Sweden may have existed from a late part of the Bolling interstadial. Large-scale settlement may be related to the rise of a land bridge to southern Sweden in the later part of the Allerod, coinciding with the Bromme Culture. A renewed meltwater outlet in the Oresund combined with a heavy fall in temperature at the start of the Younger Dryas seriously jeopardized the chances for several animal species to exist in southern Sweden. Despite this, there are indications of continued human presence in Southern Sweden. During the Allerod and the Younger Dryas, the hunters' main prey was reindeer, but horse and elk were also hunted. During the transition from the Younger Dryas to the Preboreal, there was extensive colonisation of the whole Norwegian coast - a distance of 1600 km - in the course of a few generations. This shows a significant coastal settlement with great mobility.
