Skejby
Skejby is a small village north of Aarhus in Denmark. The village is soon to be engulfed by the city of Aarhus, by the present rate of urban expansion and thus it has given name to the new Aarhusian neighbourhood of Skejby.
Archaeological excavations have revealed, that the area has been settled since the early Iron Ages (c. 500 BC), but finds from the Stone Age has also been unearthed.[1][2] Søften and Lisbjerg north of Skejby, are important archaeological sites.
