A bifacially crafted arrowhead made of white quartzite has become the most remarkable discovery at an archaeological excavation in northern Sweden. Unearthed at the Hedkammen ridge, just south of Bureå, this rare artifact reveals exceptional skill and craftsmanship, pointing to advanced prehistoric technology and long-distance material exchange networks over 2,500 years ago.
“This is prehistoric craftsmanship at its finest,” says Olof Östlund of Skellefteå Museum, who is documenting the excavation.
