Espen Finstad was trudging through mud in the Jotunheimen mountains of eastern Norway this month when he happened upon a wooden arrow, bound with a pointed tip made of quartzite.
Complete with feathers, it was so well-preserved that it looked as if it could have been lost just recently.
But Mr. Finstad, a glacial archaeologist for the county of Innlandet, knew better.
By his estimate, the arrow is probably about 3,000 years old.
“I was really excited,” he said.
