INNLANDEET COUNTY, NORWAY—According to a Newsweek report, a 1,300-year-old arrow was recovered from Norway’s Lendbreen ice patch by archaeologists from Secrets of the Ice. Glacial archaeologist Lars Holger Pilø said that the arrow was likely lost in the mountain pass while reindeer hunting. “The arrow in question is incredibly well-preserved even for ice finds,” Pilø said. “It was found lying on the ice, which is normally a sign that the melt has reached layers previously untouched by melt,” he explained. The iron arrowhead is of a type found in graves dated to about A.D. 700. “We have also found a few arrows with a similar arrowhead on a few occasions, which have come out with the same radiocarbon date,” Pilø added.
