	The History of Archaelogy
		Steenstrup argued that they were middens, and on his initiative the Royal Academy of Copenhagen set up, in 1848, a committee to study these sites.
		In 1851 Steenstrup announced the conclusions of the committee to the Academy of Sciences and Worsaae to the Society of Antiquaries, and the investigations of the committee were fully published by Steenstrup in the Proceedings of the Copenhagen Academy for 1848-55.
		Steenstrup argued that the middens belonged to the Neolithic - the original Stone Age of the north—but Worsaae held they belonged to the Old Stone Age - that they were the representatives in northern Europe of the last phase of the pre-Neolithic Stone Age being studied in western Europe.

		Before then, however, respectable opinion thought Kraken as fabulous a creature as the Merbeings (mermaids), and those who claimed to have seen it could count on being ridiculed if they took their sightings to scientists.
		Scientific investigation of the animal did not begin until the 1840's,when Danish zoologist Johan Japetus Steenstrup took up the subject, looking for reports in printed sources.
		In an indifferently recieved 1847 lecture to the society of Scandinavian Naturalists, he took note of beach strandings of giant squids going back to 1639, when one was found on an Icelandic Beach.

	Biographical Sketch of Jónas Hallgrímsson (7)
		Finally Jónas was under obligation to the Danish Finance Office (Rentukammer), from which he had received a grant, to assist two Danish scientists, Japetus Steenstrup (1813-1897) and J. Schythe (1814-1877), to investigate natural resources in Iceland that might be exploited commercially, especially the sulfur in the region of Lake Mývatn.
		Steenstrup probably took the lead in this, since Jónas was still so weak that he found it hard to do much climbing.
		One result of their joint summer travels was the cementing of a close personal friendship between Steenstrup and Jónas (whom Steenstrup liked to refer to as "the Sulfur Master" [5DCLV]).

		This monster so disturbed the people that the Danish King ordered it buried; the allusion to a sea monk was the more frightening to people recently liberated from the catholic church.
		Three hundred years later Japetus Steenstrup, a Danish naturalist, gave a popular talk in which he showed by careful comparison that the Sea Monk was probably a giant squid (Architeuthis sp.).
		It was Steenstrup who first named a species of giant squid, Architeuthis dux, in 1857.

		This is the fourth record of a whale of this species drifting ashore on the Campania coast, and the first skeleton preserved in a museum of the Campania region.
		The pilot whale skeleton (family Delfinidae) from the Fær Øer Islands of the North Sea was acquired as an exchange with the Zoological Museum of Copenhagen, and sent by Professor Japetus Steenstrup to Professor Panceri in Naples on June 1 1865.
		In 1950, it was transferred to the Zoological Museum, where it is on display in the Main Hall.

	Kitchen Middens (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In 1848 the Royal Academy of Copenhagen set up a committee to study sites known as "kitchen middens." The committee, made up of a geologist (Forchhammer) an archaeologist (Worsaae) and the zoologists who first noted them as sites of archaeological interest, Japetus Steenstrup.
		Originally thought to be natural formations, the committee was able to prove them to be human remains.
		Though the exact location of the middens in the sequence of the ages was disputed, they nonetheless helped to prove the viability of the three-age system.

	Strange Science: Sea Monsters
		In the 16th century, two naturalists, Rondelet and Pierre Belon, produced descriptions of animals they termed the Sea Monk, or monk-fish.
		Centuries later, a very talented naturalist, Japetus Steenstrup, gave a presentation in which he compared Rondelet's illustration (on the left) and Belon's illustration (on the right) to the likeness of a squid captured in 1853.
		Steenstrup made an amazing deduction: "Could we, given these bits of information of how the Monk was conceived at that time, come so near to it that we could recognize to which of nature's creatures it should most probably be assigned?

		Christian Bohr received a medical degree in 1878, but never practiced as a doctor.
		Originally Christian wanted to be a zoologist, but Japetus Steenstrup convinced his to become a doctor first.
		He may have felt that Christian's abilities and interest lay more in the exact than in the purely descriptive scientific disciplines.

	Ask: Is This a GIANT SQUID?
		In the 1800s, scientists began to study the weird washed-up creatures and to read the old sea stories to try to figure out what these monsters might be.
		Finally, Japetus Steenstrup, a Danish scientist, came to the conclusion that these mysterious beasts were a type of gigantic squid, many times larger than more familiar squids.
		He named them Architeuthis ("Archie" to its friends), which means "first squid." Today, scientists who study squid are called teuthologists.
