An unusual discovery

While exploring the area, Elisa noticed a small rock that caught her attention. He had no idea that this stone was a 3,700-year-old Stone Age artifact. When he found the stone, he showed it to his teachers, who immediately realized that it was no ordinary stone.

Later, the teachers contacted local archaeologists, who were stunned by the find. Louise Bierre Petersen, an archaeologist, described the object as a Stone Age dagger from about 3,700 years ago. Petersen described the find as unique and very rare.

Photographs of the artifact show that the dagger is about 13 centimeters long, gray-brown in color, and has sharp pointed edges that appear to have been struck multiple times. Although archaeologists excavated the area where the dagger was found, they found no other traces of the Stone Age.

The stone dagger was stored in the University Museum in Bergen. The museum is now responsible for preserving this historical artifact and ensuring that it is studied and appreciated by future generations.

This incredible find is proof that historical artifacts can be found everywhere, even in unexpected places. Eliza’s discovery reminds us that we should always be curious and open to the world around us because we never know what we will find. The 3,700-year-old artifact is an invaluable part of Norwegian history and will continue to fascinate and intrigue people for generations to come.
