Animal bones from the Late Weichselian in Norway
Main Article Content
Abstract
An accumulation of bones at Blomvåg on Blomøy island on the west coast of Norway, 30 km NW of Bergen, was found in 1941 2.5-3 m down in the ground. Radiological datings from the layer of the find has established that these remains of mammals (incl. reindeer), birds (incl. great auk and raven) and fish originate from about 12,700 - 12,200 years B.P. The concentration of animal remains here indicates the possibility of human activity at this site.
