Past Horizons
A team of archaeologists from the University of Oslo and the Museum of Cultural History has announced the discovery of houses dating from the Neolithic, untouched for 5500 years, after having been lost during a terrible sand storm.
The settlement was found two metres below the ground, during investigations prior to housing to be built in the area. Currently, nearly 100 square metres of settlement has been uncovered. The discovery was made 70-80 metres from the present shore and is now approximately 11 metres above sea level. 5500 years ago the settlement lay at the water’s edge before it was buried.
