Archaeologists have unearthed interesting artifacts in the area where the glacier melted

Norwegian archaeologists have discovered ancient artifacts. According to the Daily Mail, about 70 arrow sticks, shoes, cloth and deer bones were found on the slope of a mountain in Yutunheimen National Park after the melting of the glacier. Radiocarbon dating has shown that the oldest products date back to 4100 BC, and the last to 1300 BC.

Some of the arrows, mostly in the depths of the glacier, have almost retained their original appearance. There are traces of resin and rope on the ends, which were used to fasten them to a wooden stick.

Earlier, archaeologists discovered a mass grave with 20 human skeletons around Betestein Castle near the Dutch city of Vianen.
