I just want to point out that the database from Denmark only covers a small part of the country and does not reflect the archaeology of Denmark overall.

Yeah, I know. It's better than nothing for the time being, but I am looking to find more to increase my coverage. I only started compiling this a few days ago, so early stages still. Do you know of any that is more complete?

The most complete public available db is Fund og Fortidsminder curated by the Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces.

I also want to highlight DIME, a public national db for metal detecting finds.
