Archaeology breakthrough as lost WW2-era bomber found off coast of Denmark

Alongside objects from the sunken WW2 bomber, the archaeologists have also recovered artefacts from an entirely different period of history.

Evidence of prehistoric flint tool manufacture, they report, was found on the seabed under the aircraft wreckage.

Back in Denmark’s Mesolithic period — that is, from around 12,500–3,900 BC — the crash site was on dry land, a result of water being frozen up during the last great Ice Age.

The tools, the team said, are thought to be rare, given their apparent date, but further analysis will be needed to confirm this.
