Melting Norwegian ice reveals 5,000-year-old arrow

Original: 5,000-year-old arrow emerges as Norway’s melting mountain ice reveals older archaeological finds https:// archaeologymag

A 5,000-year-old arrow has been recovered from a Norwegian mountain ice patch as receding glaciers expose increasingly ancient artefacts. Archaeologists say melting ice driven by climate change is uncovering evidence of prehistoric hunting and travel in high mountain areas. The find is drawing wide attention, with observers linking the discovery both to its archaeological value and to what it shows about the pace of climate change in Scandinavia.

Why now: A striking archaeological discovery that also highlights climate change's impact on the landscape.
