6,000-Year-Old Arrow Found in Melting Ice in Norway

A three-week expedition has concluded in Norway’s Jotunheimen mountain range as part of the “Secrets of the Ice” project. As glaciers melted, archaeologists recovered 48 artifacts from different historical periods.

The oldest find was an arrow with a tip made of thin slate, believed to have remained in the ice for around 5,000–6,000 years.

Other remarkable discoveries included an arrow with a shell-made tip that remained almost completely intact for about 3,600 years, as well as arrowheads made of bone and iron.
