Swedish and Danish Quaternary geologists and prehistoric archaeologists work continuously with an adjacent issue, shoreline displacement. It's the sum of what the land is doing after the Ice Age and what the sea level is doing. Sweden's National Geological Survey publishes an online shoreline model with 100-year resolution.

An early medival disc fibula (decorative pin for fastening garments/brooch) decorated with animal ornament and masks forming a cross. From a woman's grave in Krautheim-Klepsau, late 6th century.
During this period, the cross was often included in ornamental design. However, it can't always be clearly interpreted as a Christian symbol.
The brooch is made of gold-plated silver with garnet inlays, the eyes are inlaid with green glass and the nose with blue glass.
