The objects accompanying a burial are in most cases things that were in use at the same time.

-Worsaae's Law (1843)


The Primeval Antiquities of Denmark (1843) was one of Jens Worsaae's early writings. It details how Danish artifacts could be organized into the three-age system of identifying archeological finds that C. J. Thomsen had proposed, using analysis of the order and position of layers of archaeological remains. The book is divided into three sections, and each section is subdivided by period-stone, bronze, and iron. Section One describes which Danish antiquities originated in each period; Section Two breaks down stone monuments by period; and Section Three discusses the historical inferences that can be gained from this data.
