United KingdomArchaeologists from the University of Bergen have discovered the remains of a 4,000-year-old child in the rock shelter of Skipshelleren, located on Norway's west coast. This find provides rare insight into the early agricultural populations of Norway, potentially revealing information about their physical characteristics and origins. The site, which has been continuously inhabited for over 7,500 years, was recently re-examined after uncovering an unexcavated area beneath previous excavation backfill. Among the significant finds are thousands of animal bones, tools, and pottery fragments, with the child’s skull being particularly notable. The discovery includes a child's grave dated to the later Stone Age, and preliminary analysis suggests the child was between 2 and 4 years old at the time of death. The site was previously excavated in 1931 but had not been fully explored until now. Local resident Bjørg Dæmring Berge, who initially discovered parts of the skeleton in 1955, assisted in locating the original find spot during the recent excavation.
