Story summary
- Archaeologists in Norway uncovered a 1,500-year-old reindeer hunting facility on the Aurlandsfjellet plateau due to melting ice.
- The site contains hundreds of wooden logs, iron spearheads, arrow shafts, and well-preserved reindeer antlers that still emit a scent.
- The facility was designed to trap reindeer, directing them into a pen, and included a decorated pine oar and an axe-shaped clothing pin.
- This discovery was named the "Find of the Year" at a recent archaeology conference and will prompt further research as more artifacts emerge.
