'''Stenseby''' is a small settlement near [[St Bodil's Church]] in the southeast of the [[Denmark|Danish]] island of [[Bornholm]]. For a time, an active community grew up around Bodilsker Station on the [[Rønne]]–[[Nexø]] railway which operated from 1900 to 1968. The area is also known for its [[passage grave]] discovered in the 1880s.<ref>[http://367ture.dk/default.asp?m=467 "Bønnestenene - Stenseby"], ''På 357 ture i Bornholms natur''. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 8 November 2012.</ref>
==Archeological finds==
J. A. Jørgensen, a schoolteacher from [[Ibsker]], was Bornholm's most active archeologist in the late 19th century. In 1882, he investigated the Stenseby passage grave from the [[Neolithic]] where he discovered a few hundred [[amber]] beads, several flint tools, including a 5-inch knife, a sandstone axe and a decorated pot. Not far from Stenseby, he investigated another site, Bønnestenen. Further finds were made in the 1920s including a [[Bronze Age]] pot.<ref>[http://www.kulturarv.dk/fortidsminder/oplev-i-landskabet/monumenter-i-landskabet/storstensgrave/besoeg-gravene/stenseby-og-boennestenen/ "Stenseby og Bønnestenen"], Kultur Styrelsen. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 8 November 2012.</ref>
