Presentation copy, offprint, of this foundational work in Scandinavian geoarchaeology, uniting geology, archaeology and natural history in a systematic investigation of Denmark’s prehistoric coastal settlements and shell middens (køkkenmøddinger). It represents the collaborative effort of three leading Danish scholars: geologist J. G. Forchhammer, paleontologist and naturalist J. C. H. R. Steenstrup and archaeologist J. J. A. Worsaae. In 1848, a new source for these studies opened with the. At Steenstrup’s urging, the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters appointed a committee consisting of Forchhammer, Steenstrup, and Jens Jacob Asmussen Worsaae to investigate the shell middens that had been found in several places in Denmark. The results, published here, established the shell-middens as made made structures, proved to be of the greatest significance for the development of archaeological research throughout the world. The present copy was given, and signed, by Forchhammer to F. C. Danckwart, Director in the Foreign Department and known for his close ties to the monarchy. He served under several foreign ministers and retained influence even after his retirement. “Forchhammer participated in the work of the so-called ‘Lejrekomite’, an interdisciplinary committee studying human remains along the shore. This commission gave the first – and now famous – description of the ‘køkkenmødding’ (kitchen midden), a mound consisting of shells of edible molluscs and other refuse, marking the site of a prehistoric human habitation (Hanks 1971). ‘Køkkenmødding’ is one of the few Danish international terms (Forchhammer et al. 1851). The work of the ‘Lejrekomité’ was concentrated on the marine molluscs in order to establish out whether the shell deposits were naturally based – oyster banks – or whether they were formed as waste deposits produced by men living at coastal sites” (Petersen, Late Quaternary environmental changes recorded in the Danish marine molluscan faunas, p.12).
On the Composition of Sea-Water in the different parts of the Ocean. Received July 28, - Read November 17, 1864.
(London, Taylor & Francis, 1865) Large 4to. Without wrappers. Extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London."", 1865, Vol. 155. Pp. 203-262. Clean and fine.
First printing of Forchhammer's - the father of Danish geology - pioneer-work in oceanography and hydrography, as it is the first scientific investigation in this field of research. This large paper grew out of the Danish publication ""Om Søvandets Bestanddele og deres Fordeling i Havet."" (1859), but is much enlarged, augmented with new facts acquired by many new samples of sea-water from all ower the world. ""It contains a determination as complete as possible of the distribution of the saline substances at the surfaces of the different parts of the sea, and in different depths at the same place.""(Forchhammer).""Forchhammer's fundamental researches on the composition of seawater brought him international acclaim. He began this work in 1843, more as a geologist than as a chemist, to explain the phenomena that give rise to the deposits on the sea floor...He carried out analyses of over 160 samples collected for him over a twenty-year period by the Danish and British navies. He measures chlorine, sulfur, magnesium, calcium, and potassium gravimetrically with 100-pound samples, obtaining sodium from the differences....Forchhammer also posed in an elegant form the ""geochemical balance problem"" arising from the major sedimentary cycle: ""Thus the quantity of the different elements in seawater is not proportional to the quantity of the elements which the river waters put into the sea, but inversely proportional to the facility with which the elements are made insoluble by general or organo-chemical action in the sea"""" (DSB V: p. 72). The work was translated into English as ""On the Components of Sea Water"" (1865) in Phil. Transactions.

First edition of Forchhammer’s important work in which he outlines methods to measure organic content in water and examines changes in water supplies feeding Copenhagen’s reservoirs. He collaborated with engineers to assess raw water quality, which later influenced decisions on artesian well drilling to improve Copenhagen’s drinking-water supply. Forchhammer was a geologist, chemist and professor (1794–1865), noted for foundational work in marine chemistry and hydrography.
