'Spectacular' Trove of Ancient Bronze Age Artefacts Found Uncovered in Swedish Forest

The artefacts include items such as “very well preserved necklaces, chains, and needles” made out of bronze, which supposedly date back between 750 and 500 BC.

A hoard of Bronze Age artefacts has been discovered in a Swedish forest by an orienteering enthusiast who was mapping out the area.

The find, which primarily consists of ancient jewellery dating back more than 2,500 years, is described by the County Administrative Board as one of “the most spectacular and largest cache finds.”

The artefacts, which are believed to be from the period between 750 and 500 BC, include “very well preserved necklaces, chains, and needles” made out of bronze.

Even though he initially thought the objects were fake because they “all looked so new,” Karlsson notified the local authorities and a team of archaeologists was dispatched to investigate the site.

The artefacts were apparently lying out in the open when Karlsson stumbled upon them, with the authorities suggesting they may have been dug out by animals.
